I remember several years back when I was trying to leave a bad relationship, I had a realization that I didn't care about all the stuff in the shared apartment. All that mattered was that I take my dog and my tank full of fish and get the heck out of dodge. And that night when I was asleep on the floor of my new apartment with nothing but my academic books, my clothes, tank of fish and beloved dog Chloe--I had left everything else in my frantic bid for escape-- I laid there and cried because my life seemed so wrecked, but Chloe sat next next me and was just simply there with me. And she has been with me ever since. And in the end that is all that matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-23604631648623114752008-01-25T19:07:00.000-05:002008-01-25T19:07:00.000-05:00Carol,That was a lovely post.

I know it especially because you didn't become one of those people who got rid of your cat once you had kids, because she became "problematic" or "inconvenient." <BR/><BR/>I think you and Tom were lucky to find each other, but even luckier that Beulah knew you belonged together. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and don't worry - you're not losing sight of her.
