When he passed away, the vet told me a story he found in the internet about why some pets live such short lives compared to humans. He said that humans' purpose in life is to learn to be good so they can become angels when they die. Dogs and cats are already good and are angels on earth. They're given their wings and join God in heaven when it is time.
I am sorry that I haven't responded sooner - I just got back from a week in Michigan. I truly believe that your vet's sentiments are correct, and that Wawa crossed over to a Wonderful Reward with our Creator and His beloved people & pets who are enjoying Heaven's rewards.
Maria, I didn't see this until now, but I know you are still grieving sweet Wawa's passing from this world to the next. He's always been an angel, now he's got his wing at the Bridge.
Run happily at the Bridge Wawa. But watch over your Meowmy and brothers and sisters back here too.
Maria, I am so very, very sorry. WaWa's spirit will be with you and always. You were a wonderful mother to him and so kind. I remember when you helped me through in praying that my surgery would be ok in 2005 and from 4,000 miles away you were a beacon of light. He will be in that light protecting you, I just know it.
He is your angel, and you were his.
Namaste and strength to you my dear.
