Penny Lane

One of our sweet kitty cats, Penny, was hit by a car last night and passed away. We are heart broken! She was a little over 4 years old. Luckily, a neighbor saw it happen and told Marshall in time for him to hold her and talk to her before she passed. All of our kids love our kitty cats (especially Laney). She was worried about us last night because we were so sad, so we decided to go ahead and tell her that we were crying because we wouldn't get to see Penny anymore. We told her Penny went to Heaven. This morning, she woke up and asked, "Mommy are you happy now? Did Penny come back yet?!" She looked around for her for a little bit. Jack (our other cat) has also been looking around for her and meowing. Breaks my heart!!!

It's crazy how pets can hold such a huge place in a family. Penny loved being around people and was so incredibly patient with our babies. She let them poke her, pull her tail and whiskers, hold her, and mess with her all the time (I think she knew that was their way of loving on her). So unlike a cat! We're already missing our little party girl, Penny! I don't think I can do this pet thing again. It's too sad when they go!
