Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

[catlover4ever]

Peanut definately was a very lucky girl. (((HUGS))) to you, Terry, and CJ.

I know how difficult it is when we have to make the decision for them...you can not feel guilty about it...you did what was best for her, you have to remember "Quality" vs. "Quantity".

When we lost Tigger in October, Mark took it really hard. I never really knew how much Tigger had touched Mark's heart until she was gone. Mark told me about a week after Tigger had passed that he came downstairs on morning and swears that she was sleeping on the back of the couch...but then he turned on the lights and there was no kitty there. He really thought he was loosing it, but I told him that I had been "seeing" her all over the house that week....so no he was not loosing it.

Peanut choose to let you know that she was OK by the butterfly, Tigger choose to let us know that she was OK by "popping up" in her favorite places.

RIP Sweet Peanut, say Hi to Tigger and her brother Tony, play with all your wonderful new friends and don't forget to "pop in" on your purrents every now and then.

Rest in Peace Dear Peanut

[Medusa]

It's true, they really do steal our hearts. Or more accurately we give our hearts over to them willingly. You'll miss all those little things for quite some time, as I'm sure you're well aware. But it'll be a comfort to you and it'll be your way of making communion w/Peanut. She's fine now and soon you will be, too.

Blessings,
Mary

Fly softly dear Peanut....Fly softly.

How is CJ doing?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thank you all again. We're all slowly adjusting to the fact that our sweet little girl will not be coming back.

The driver's seat of the motorhome turns around so it faces the rest of our living room. Sitting/sleeping on the driver's seat was Peanut's favorite spot. CJ respected that and even though he really likes that spot too, he never slept there because that was Peanut's spot. I was wondering how long it would take him to go back there, and yesterday was the first day I saw him there, taking a bath then a nap. This indicates to me that he has figured out she's not coming back. He's doing fine. I would say he was a little depressed for a day or two because he seemed really "muted" in his actions - no goofy little boy running around the place. But yesterday not only did he sleep in her spot, he was back to his goofy little boy self. Which tells me it's time to find him a new sister before he gets too used to being the only snot in the house.

One other quick butterfly story. We are staying at Picacho Peak RV Resort South of Phoenix, North of Tucson. Friday we "Hiked the Peak." It was really quite the climb - way more than either of us expected, and we were gone way longer than we expected. When we were about 1/2 way back down, a butterfly buzzed me again, then flew over by Terry, then flew off. Same kind of butterfly as the one we saw that first day. We figured CJ might be worried about us and that was Peanut, checking up on us then reporting back to CJ that we were ok. We haven't seen any other butterflies - the same type or different...... So....maybe when Peanut went to report to CJ that we were ok, she let him know too that she was ok and that it was ok for him to sit in her favorite spot.

We miss her terribly, but we know she's in a much better spot.

A good plan, all around.

A good plan, all around.

I agree and this one should be named Monarch (Monny)- or whatever type of butterfly it is - or even Butterfly (Butter for short) or Chrysalis (Chrys for short).
See I got ya covered on the name front - the rest is up to you when your heart is ready.
