Title: Tigger
Post by: Pinkbear (Julie) on June 26, 2007, 11:39:40 AM
Tigger has now been gone three months. It still hurts. A lot!

I took him off some kids who had found him in the local allotments. He was around 5 weeks and as wild as they come. I went back for his mum or any siblings, but they were gone. I spent hours and hours combing out the parasites that were slowly draining his little body. He hissed and spat at me 'cos he was so scared and alone. His tail was then the same length as my little finger.

That was 13 years back now. He turned out to be as soft as tripe. At night, he curled up on my pillow. Every morning there would be a huge tail flapping between my eyes as Tigger did his Davy Crocket hat impression again. We also giggled about how every morning, regular as clockwork, he would plod through the patio, across the grass, to a far corner of the garden for his 'constitutional'. All that was missing was a little copy of The Sun folded underneath his arm.

I seem to have said goodbye to fluffy ones far too many times. You'd think it would get easier....

Goodbye, Tigs.  :Sad Bye:

Yes you would think it would get easier but it hurts just as much every time.

RIP Tigger, you were a beautiful boy.

RIP little one, you sound like such a wonderful character.
Sadly, it never gets easier to say goodbye.

I'm a little lost without him, still. But one day at a time, they say...  :'(

I'm not sure that it gets easier, but I think maybe you realise you just have to accept it.

We lost Parsley in February to a stroke and it's definately not easier - just something I realise I have to cope with. And it's getting slightly easier to remember her without bursting into tears now, which is an improvement.

I saw the most amazing rainbow on Thursday; I hope it was from her.

Take care, Tigger. Hope you've met up with Parsley - you look like her kinda guy.

Six months down the road and I miss you more each day, Tigs. I can't seem to sleep because you're missing from my pillow. And no one bites my hand for attention anymore...

Jumpy says Hi. Tilly misses you too!

And I'm taming some more little ferals now and they remind me so much of you...

Why can't you come back, Tigs?  :'( :'( :'(
