This story of your sweet Kirbee brought tears to my eyes. My sweet girl Pidgelet went to the Bridge last year and she was nearly 22. Isn't it wonderful how they bring us so much joy and even on the first steps of their journey to the Bridge they keep right on purring, as though they're comforting us instead of the other way around. I'm sure you do miss Kirbee just as I miss my Pidge. Your Kirbee was such a beautiful girl w/a gorgeous fur coat. The bonding between you will never fade away. She is definitely most deserving of her title of COTD.
