Pinot's emotionally tragic day :(

[Pinot's Mom]

I have tragic news to report. As some of you know, our Pinot has, since the day she came to us, had a very special friend named Mousie. Pinot would carry Mousie everywhere, Mousie would be sent down the slide of the stair chair, would be given as a present to Mom and Dad, and would be brought to bed with all of us on occasion. They had very special conversations where Pinot made meowles with Mousie in her mouth and, it can only be assumed, Mousie answered back. It was during one of those sessions today that tragedy struck.

Pinot was talking to Mousie, carrying her around, and sent Mousie down the slide of the stair chair. The chair, although usually at the top of the stairs, was at the bottom. Mousie got too fouled in the gears. Dad tried and tried but couldn't save Mousie; she's too damaged (she was VERY fragile) and covered in heavy grease. We cannot bring Mousie back.

Pinot is in deep mourning and just keeps staring at the chair trying to will her best friend back to life.

Pinot, I am so sorry to read of your tragic day! Mousie spent many years living and playing with you and now it is time for Mousie to move on.

I am sending you some chin rubs to help you feel better, Pinot!

Poor Mousie. Poor Pinot.

Play hard at the Bridge, Mousie. You will meet your Pinot again, One Fine Day.

Poor Pinot

Perhaps a new mousie will show at your doorstep looking for a Pinot. Lots of kisses and headbumps.

Oh, Pinot, you have our sympathy.

Hmm, there's a Rainbow Bridge for our pets, maybe there's a calico bridge for their loved toys?

[lizbud]

Well, now that my heart has stopped racing, I am so sorry about
Mousie. I would suggest duct tape, that helps mend so much for me.

If you can PM us ,Pinot's Mom we would be glad to send an Animal Welfare Association Mouse.
It may in some way take Mousie's place.

I agree even though I know that the original mousie can never really be replaced. I was almost too scared to read this thread because I thought that something tragic had happened to Pinot. Whew what a relief.

Me too, my heart dropped when I saw this thread. Pinot, I hope you will have a new best mousey soon !

There is no way she can ever replace her faithful, long time friend that has always been there. Maybe, someday, there will be a mousie in bad need of a kitty companion knock on your door.. and that mousie help relieve some of your pain..

At first I was afraid to look at this post for fear that something happened to our sweet Pinot.

Pinot, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your best friend, Mousie. Maybe soon another new mousie will come to you looking for a good home and a nice friend like you to have lots of fun with.

[astrid]

First of all: pheeew!! I thought something happened to sweet Pinot, thank God she's fine... but I'm so so sorry for little Mousie

Love and kisses Pinot, I know a friend like mousie can never be replaced, but I hope you find a new friend soon to help you ease the pain and have fun with

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm sorry I scared everyone. I changed the name of the thread to hopefully lessen the impact.

We have tried periodically to introduce other mousies because we knew 'original' mousie would not last forever, but Pinot has never been interested. I hope with the rest of you we can find a suitable new best friend.

Dearest Pinot, We are SO sorry for your lose. I know what a mousie means to you. But I promise your meowmie is hot on the trail of a new mousie. My meowmies friend got me a good new one that chips. I'll be glad to send you one. Please PM my meowmie and she'll find out where it came from an send you one. Remember the kitty code. Keep calm and carry on. We shall be sending you a new bestest friend soon.
Yours in felinese,
