So long, Perl

It’s been over five years since we took Perl in off the street, and today we had to have her put down.  She had been very sick and probably was suffering from kidney failure.  Here’s one of the last pictures we took of her a couple weeks ago.


Trying to explain this to Tommy was interesting:

Me: Your kitty Perl is gone.  She had to leave us today.
T: But she will come back.
Me: No. Perl’s not coming back.
T: But I want her to be here.
Me: I know, but it was her time to leave us, and she’s not coming back.
T: OK.  Let’s go to the park.

And we did.

So long, Perl.
