Now that I think about it Princess Lola always behaved like an only child 😉 she will be fine. Hanging out with her buds at work every day, she will be more than fine 🙂

no worries. cie la vie and all that… it is getting easier each day. Now that we are down to just Lola and some reptiles that are likely to outlive us (nevermind the tank of fish) there is the big void that part of me doesn't want to fill to minimize troubles ahead and heartbreak later, at the same time I fear I will worry excessively over Lola & her loss would be tragic. Definitely giving it time though, at least she has buddies she can play with at work.

Absolutely………. Oh niq. We were never designed to outlive our children. It's heartbreaking how little time we have with our animal children. I hope you didn't feel sad about what I wrote about the mourning period in my post. I only noted that it doesn't seem to help me any. I do it every time anyway. We wouldn't be human if we didn't. I just wish it helped. I only start to feel happier once I come out of it. And it can take such a long time.

She's much better now, was super depressed the final days leading up to it and the next few as well, much like me, except it lingered longer for me… still not back to normal but it is easing off now as the flowers pile up around his grave and the plants I planted on either side of him take root. Not sure I will get another cat, I thought I'd want to take in a senior right away, but I know no other cat will ever come close to being him, or like him, he was one of a kind. ♥

I wish I could just hug you
