My Mittens
by amber kochanny
Mittens I remember when i first saw you. You were so hyper. Always played with you little toy bird. When I came home after beging gone for the weekend. You would meow at me as to say,"why did u leave me for so long." Then i would say ,"does mittens want a treat." Your ears would perk up and u would run to the kitchen and look at the cubord because u knew exactly where the treats were. Then just before bed i would fill up ur cup of water, because heaven forbid u would drink out of a water dish. Then I would say Mittens it is bed time. Then u would run to my room and get in your spot which was right next to my pillow was yours. Then one day as I began to rub ur tummy. I felt a lump. Nothing of it i thought animals always get cysts. But it grew bigger and i became consernd. I took u to the vet. To find out that it was breast cancer. That nothing could be done that u should live up to a month or more. I cried all the way home and u just looked at me and meowed. Like u were saying,"everything is gonna be alright."Then 2 two days later. I just came home and u looked at me with worried eyes. I looked at ur stomach and there was a soar on the cyst. I immediatly took u to the vet. They said they had to put u down. I just burst out and tears u were so brave as they led u away i gave u one last kiss and my tears fell on ur head. U jsut looked at me with comforting eyes. Again saying why ru crying every thing is fine. but i knew it wasn't. I cried as they led u into the back room. I cried all the way home. When i got home i was fine until i went to bed and i didn't have to fill up ur water cup.I looked at the pillow and there was no mittnes. That night i cried myself to sleep. That was the worst day of my life.I can't wait till again i will see u in heaven.
