Today was a day of grief, I spent most the time in bed, crying.
I know how lucky I am to have five beautiful little girls but they are not Wallie.
I know how lucky I am to have had Wallie 13 years but today it wasn't enough.
I know I know I know!
The reason I have or had 7 beautiful creatures in my life is due to the ugliness of humanity. All my wonderful fur babies are rescues and found me.
Today we found a kitten about 4 weeks old, she had two huge holes in her chest. Upon further investigation, we discovered she had a maggot infestation.
Off to the vet, we go, knowing that euthanatize would probably be the end result of the visit.
But my vet offered for us to sign over custody and they would donate their services and when appropriate would find that little girl a home.
We paid for the office visit and made a donation to the care of this kitten. I was both relieved and felt a little guilty leaving her. I have never done that before, we always bring them home and care for them later on finding them a home or keeping them.
Today I am grateful for the man and the clinic I call my family vet. I am grateful that he is driven by compassion and not the mighty dollar. I am grateful that he cares enough to ask me how my fur family is and that he cares enough to be consoling about the death of Wallie.
Today I am most grateful for is that my pain is a little less due to the beauty of compassion and humanity in others.
