Sasha was called to a bigger responsibility this evening. He joined his beloved little brother Freddie and his wonderful, loving mama SiSi in heaven, as a champion. He was laid to rest wrapped in his white baby blanket which SiSi nursed him on, and his red furry heart was placed over his own heart, with locks of hair from his mama, Freddie, Saba, and me. He had all his catnip bees at his paws, and we left one out for Saba.
He is resting peacefully in the backyard with the big kitty rock between him and Freddie. As we lowered him into the earth he loved so much, the cold Spring wind stopped and suddenly it was warm. The sun came out and cast golden light over us, as catnip seeds were planted in his place and bulbs of narcissus were put in circle with stones for the earth, the sun, the wind, and the moon.
I know he was hanging on, staying....just for me. So the last thing I said to my Absolute Coyote-Clubbing Champion was "Lovey, you're good to go." - and he tucked his little head into my neck and said goodbye.
The windows in our house are all open tonight. We can see his spot from every room through the light of 14 white candles. I am elated that he has returned to the natural world and I have no doubt Saba will be watched over, as well as me.
