Sweet Sonny

Okay, get out the kleenex! It was a sad week at the Jennings house. We lost our sweet cat Sonny who was only with us for about a year and a half. We all just loved Sonny, he was always around, playing with us, taking walks with us, climbing the trees above us, making us laugh, and even trick or treating with us. He was a great little furry friend and we miss him so!

He died last Friday night, he had a blood clot that suddenly made him paralyzed. It was a crazy evening - rushing him to the vet and then having to say good bye to Sonny. Brock and Sonny were especially close. I was so proud of Brock (who was with me through it all). He was so sad and we were both sobbing, but he was talking to Sonny the whole time, "I love you Sonny, Bye Sonny"-over and over again. No regrets there, saying goodbyes to the one's you love. It was heart breaking to see his heart breaking, but something I'm glad he got to do.

Theo on the other hand does not really get it. Here is the conversation I've heard a couple times. Sad and hilarious all wrapped in to one.
Theo, "Where is Sonny?"
Brock, "He's in kitty heaven"
Theo, "Where's Sonny?"
Brock (in a frustrated voice), "Theo, he's dead!"
Theo, (with the sweetest voice), "He's dead?"

We love and miss you dear Sonny!
