'Cause you're the wind beneath her wings
January 21, 2010 There is nothing harder for a mother than to see her kitty feel the pain of a broken heart.
Every night over the past month I would text Jimmy Bear from work and ask what he was doing. "Watching a movie with Sophie," he would text. Or, "laying in bed with Sophie." Or, "throwing a toy for Sophie." Or, "playing xbox with Sophie." Or sometimes, "cleaning up kitty barf." On Monday morning Bear went back to work where he is expected to stay in camp for ten days. Sophie is devastated:
"Where's Jimmy, Mom?"
I give her helicopter rides like Bear does, but they're just not as good. I bounce her up and down off of the floor like the skunk from Bambi, but I just don't do it right. I put my hands on the sides of her bum and jiggle her so her fur stands up on end, but Bear does it better.
I know that if Sophie could translate her meow into words, she would ask me to post this for the man she is missing-- the man who has become the wind beneath her wings.
We miss you, Jimmy Bear.

Hahaha, aww. Meez and Minnie throw fits after Matt leaves for work in the morning. They walk around the whole house jumping places they know they're not supposed to be or just meowing their little kitty faces off.
sort of the same issue, but a little bit more on the morbid side:
one of the foster families I work with has two doggies. one of them passed away on Sunday at the ripe age of 14 years old. I went to the home yesterday for a visit and their other pup seems SO lost. I felt so sad for the doggie, it's sister is no longer here and she feels depressed and lost. aw. I got tears in my eyes as i gave her much needed affection.
animals totally can feel these things. probably not to the same 'emotional' extent as humans but definitely the whole energy thang that Ceez Milan goes on about. amen.

You should make a movie mix with this playing in the background and send it to him...
PS: why did I instantly assume you split, and thats why he was gone? Maybe you kick so many asses I assumed this was another!
HAHAHAHAHA, Will, I know, I know. :) I am going to keep this one around.
