Still hurting
I have been trying to stay busy because if I don't all I do is think of Abby and cry. I still carry a lot of guilt and wish I would have brought her home so we could spend some time with her. My oldest son was out of town and I should have waited a few more days so he could say goodbye. Abby and my oldest son were very close, she would get so excited when he came to visit and when he was younger and my boys would fight, Abby always stuck up for my oldest son. He really wanted to be with her and I know she would have loved having him with her when she passed. Lots of other guilt and I just can't forgive myself, if I could go back to that day I would have done so many things different. My boys were all upset that they were not there with her to say goodbye.
I have been working a lot in my garden and just doing a lot of outdoor work. This morning I was sitting outside having my coffee and enjoying my flower garden, I started to think of Abby and how much I missed her when all of a sudden a bunch of butterflies came all at the same over the fence and landed in my garden. They were flying around and then land and they came flying around me and back to the garden. It was nice and brought a smile to my face to see so many butterflies. I like to think that Abby sent them to me to cheer me up. They all stuck around most of the morning.
I have also been babysitting my neighbors puppy, her name is Libby. They brought her home August 3 and she was this little 8 week old puppy. I got to babysit her the following day while they went to church. She is getting so big and gets excited every time she gets to come over. The other day I watched her for 12 hours and boy I have to tell you I am to old for puppies. I was so tired that evening when they came to get her. I wish Abby could have spent time with Libby. Abby loved puppies and kittens. Abby would have loved spending time with Libby and playing with her. Makes me cry thinking about it.
That's what I have been up too, what's new with you?

I know how much you love Abby. I am so sorry for your loss. You love kitties so much and now guess what? I have 2 which I feed every night. My neighbor is mean to them, they are hers, so they come over and stay at my place. I thought of you and how good you would be to them, because when I move I won\'t be able to take them with me. I love them so much, but have 2 piggies and wouldn\'t be able to have the kitties in my house. I sit out on the porch and play with them, feed them and they will cry at my door when they want me to come out. I come out and they lie down. Hugs to you my friend and I am so sorry about Abby
So sorry to hear about your neighbors cats. Some people should just not own any animals. If she hurts them real bad don\'t be afraid to call animal control. I have called animal control a few times to do a welfare check on an animal I knew was being neglected and abused. I\'m glad they have you to come too so they can feel a little love. Hugs to you.
Always remember what a good Mother you were to Abby. You gave her so much love and she was very special. I feel the same way about Harley, and think of her often. I am glad you got to work in your garden, I sure your garden is very pretty. Oh my so you had to babysit a puppy, she sounds like she kept you on your toes all day. But puppies are so cute, and a handful and they do such sweet things, that makes people laugh. Lots of love and hugs to you xxx
