A sad little moment in time...

A few days ago Joshua and I made the hard decision to put our little Elrond to sleep. He was getting on in age and the veterinarian said that his body was starting to shut-down.

We will miss him greatly, but we are SO thankful for the time we had with him. He has made this past year all the more enjoyable with him being my lap and bed-warmer, demanding with old cranky cat mews that he wanted the faucet turned on or to be held so he could fall sleep in my arms, and so many more wonderful moments that have blessed me with so many happy memories.

He will be missed but I know he is in a better place.

"Obviously, what God has prepared for us is wonderful beyond comprehension. Therefore, love your pets as much as you can while they are here. Those of us who go to heaven will later understand that everything worked out perfectly regarding our pets." (http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/pets.shtml)
