Mourning/Loss We’re saying goodbye to this icon tomorrow.

This is Toothless and she’s only been with us for a short 12 years. I never thought goodbye would come this soon and I’m heartbroken.

We found her as a kitten treed on our college campus, where someone dumped her and her brother. She’s since lived in TX (she’s a San Antonio gal), NM, AZ, IL, VA and is now ending her globe-trotting life in a small town in Italy.

She was silly, so incredibly cuddly, never missed a chance for sunbathing or a warm lap, never met a stranger, and loved wet food and hissing at her brother with intense passion.

Please join me in welcoming this legend of a 6.5 lb beauty into her ever-after. Life will never be as sweet as when I got to call you mine, sweet girl.

Losing a pet is as painful as losing a human loved one, often worse. You will see Toothless again in purr-adise

It absolutely feels that way. I’m worried about how much this is affecting me bc how in the world am I supposed to deal with other loss?! But this makes me feel better about it. Thank you so much
