Today Jasmine, our cat, passed away. It was not unexpected, but it is sad for us all. It has been especially upsetting for Meg who is experiencing all of the appropriate human emotions that occur when one loses her first pet. Tonight we buried her, placed a garden fairy over the spot, had a little "service" and said nice things about her. Meg and Emeri gathered lots of flowers from the yard and placed them on the grave. Meg then started to cry and didn't stop until she fell asleep.
Jasmine was 13 years old, she was born just a few weeks before were married and we took her home as soon as we returned from our honeymoon. She has lived with us in Hesperia, Rancho Cucamonga, Colorado and New York. She was a stinker, but we loved her.
