Remembering Mushu

Today was a very sad day. Today I found the body of my beloved cat, Mushu laying by the garage. It would appear that she was hit by a car and our other cat Naboo drug her body to where she lays now. I am so, so sad.

We got Mushu in December of 2001. She was always a fiesty little cat. She amazed us right away with her loving personality and dog-like tendancies. She was always carrying things off in her mouth and hiding them. She also loved to play fetch. I've never known another cat to retrieve an object and bring it back to you. I was really looking forward to spring so I could teach Kaden how to throw her favorite stuffed fish to her. He would have had a great time playing with her and she would have loved it too. Now, Kaden will probably not even rememer her.

I am just so disappointed that whoever hit her didn't have the courage to stop, knock on the door, and let us know what had happened. If we had gotten her to the vet in time, maybe she would still be alive. It's like losing a child. Mushu got me through a lot of rough times when we were trying to start a family. I cried into her fur more than once when a pregnancy test came up negative. I will always remember her and I miss her so much already.

I'll eventually get around to making a scrapbook page of her, but I just can't do it quite yet. In the meantime, here are some photos of her. Rest in peace Mushu. You are loved.
