In Memory of Prancer

Today, I had to put Prancer, my first pet who was truly "mine", to rest. Only 2 weeks ago the vet discovered a tumor wrapped around the base of his tongue. One week ago he had a biopsy, and today he's gone. I never realized things could happen this fast.

I have three fuzzy kids but Prancer was my first and therefore always had a special place in my heart. He always let all the other cats push him around at Pets Ahoy but all he ever wanted was some attention and some extra scratches and I knew I couldn't leave him there when I left. He was such a lover, always wanting to be around people and to see what was going on. Sometimes he could be a little pushy, but now that he's gone I miss him walking all over me, and tapping me in the face when it was time to wake up in the morning, his incessant purring and little squeaky meow. Every time I'd pick him up from the vet, all the techs would come out and tell me about all the 'stories' he told them and how sweet he was. No one was immune to Prancer's charms. And now without him the apartment seems so empty. He was such a small cat, but his personality could fill 10 rooms. I'll never be able to say enough about how amazing he was and how much I miss him.

Goodbye Prancer-butt. You were so so loved and will never be forgotten.
