Mood: Nostalgic
Music: Josh Groban- To Where You Are

I had another dream about Slader last night (Slader being my old kitty that we had to put down in May 2003). In my dream, I heard his meow, and I thought, "Wow, Sessho really sounds like Slader..." so I went to go check on him, and it wasn't Sessho, but Slader. I picked him up, gave him a huge hug, and said, "You're not dead!!" I sat down in the recliner, and he curled up and went to sleep on my lap. When I woke up, I remembered he was dead, and I started to cry. Every time I think about him, I cry. He was a constant to my childhood. He was born at my house when I was really little...and I remember the night we found him and his sisters. Growing up, he was there. When he got sick, we took him to the vet with the intent of putting him to sleep then. But the vet said to wait...and Slader seemed better. We took him home...and that night, he jumped up on my lap while I was on the computer. I hugged him and said to him, "Don't ever scare me like that again, ok?" He sat on my lap for awhile, then left. The next day, we found him in a coma in the basement, and had to put him down. I held him while the vet put him to sleep. Every time I think about him, I cry. I miss his antics...his ability to know when I needed a comforting fuzzball on my lap when I was upset...I miss him. A lot of people say that animals don't have souls...that they're just bodies with no purpose...but I pray to God that isn't true. He was a good pet, and a good friend...and I hope he made it to some sort of life beyond this one.

Merf...sorry for the depressing post. -_- I should think of happier things...like the kitties that I have now....and Harry Potter....and the new episodes of Family Guy and American Dad tonight. Lol.
