RIP Winnie


The time has come to say goodbye to my precious Winnie. Winnie came into our lives ten years ago when we were staying with Bryan's Parents. She was outside their house and I, being a cat lover, got her to come to me. We assumed she belonged to someone because she was spayed and declawed, but she never left. So when we got into our first house in Pittsburgh she came with. As a child I always wanted a long haired white cat and God sent her to me at a time when I needed her.
I found her on December 11th when the boys and I came home from a MOMS Club event. I called Bryan to come home and bury her. The boys have no idea she is gone, she was just laying outside the back door and looked like she was sunning. Thank God they never really paid much attention to the cats or I would have to tell them the news.
We will never know the true reason Winnie pasted but I believe she is in a better place right now. I did not know her age but we had her for 10 years and the Vet believed she was about 5 when we found her. So I just want to believe it was old age and she was not suffering from something else.
RIP Winnie, I love you and will miss you dearly.
