I have gut wrenching news to share. Sweet Mittens the Kitten has crossed the Rainbow Bridge [View all]

I'm in shock. She wasn't outside at breakfast, this morning, but that's not totally unusual. I fed the rest and carried on. When I went out to start some yard work I saw something on my lawn, just off of the curb. My heart sank because the closer I got - yes, it was my baby.

I don't know if she was hit by a car or of some miscreant neighbor decided to send a message (I doubt the next door neighbor but maybe time will tell.)

Needless to say I burst into tears and then quickly found a shovel so I could dig a grave. She's buried by a rose bush, along side the garage. I put some roses in the ground with her and a marker will be made.

I tried to carry on with yard work but I can't stop crying. Maybe later. I don't know. What I do know is I don't think I can bear this pain for the 3rd time in less than a year.
