Our Family Cat Died

It was a sad day yesterday. Mocha our cat and family member was put down yesterday. She has been sick for about 2 years, but the last few days she took a turn for the worse and was dieing so Joanne and Victoria took her to the vet to put her down. The vet checked mocha out and agreed it was the best thing for Mocha as she had a day if not hours to live, so she was then euthanized.

I was out on my morning bike ride with my tri group and when I got home everyone was in tears, so I asked what's going on as I didn't know they took Mocha to the vet to put her down. I asked what they did with her and Joanne told me she is in the back seat of my old car in the garage ready to be buried.

I then went our to dig her grave in the back yard. I waited until evening to bury her with everyone, but no one wanted to come out, Victoria locked herself in her room all day crying and Melissa and Joanne didn't want to watch either. My son Chris didn't care for it either so I got the duty! I then took Mocha who was wrapped up in a soft blanket which had a pattern of kitty paws on it out from my car in the garage and proceeded to carefully place her in the hole I dug beside the back fence of my yard and beside my lilac bush and said my goodbyes and a little prayer for her and carefully filled in the hole. :(

Rest in Peace Mocha...
