I grieve for your loss.

I sure wish you had good news but if you believe in God, Rocket is there with him. I choose to believe this, backed up with some Biblical verses. I asked my Pastor this same question a long time ago and he seemed to think they are there as well. I’ve yet to find a verse that says we get them back but being with their creator is a wonderful thing. I’m of a mind that God put them here so we would have some tiny inkling of the love he feels for us, warts and all.

My prayers are for you, your family and for Rocket’s last journey.

Damn it all, this breaks my heart. You did the right thing and that’s all that counts.

Head butts are awesome, I can’t help but smile when they do it, it’s a privilege and if you look into your kitteh’s or doggie’s eyes, there’s definitely a high intelligence looking back at you. I’ve got one cat that I swear is analyzing everything she sees like most humans do. I don’t know why, but God has delivered numerous kittehs to my doorstep over thirty or more years. Even one that climbed to the second floor. They’re a gift of life and God has chosen you to be their caretaker although they could be our caretaker for all I know?

If you’ve never experienced infinite, unwavering love, undeserved, then you’ve never had an animal. And by undeserved I’m not saying you’re a bad person undeserving of love but animals know when people are ‘off’ even when you first meet them. The love only grows from there. My animals are family members second only to my wife.

I wish you and your family all the best.
