Jordy passed away unexpectedly today
Current mood: numb 

I am writing this brief blog to let you all now that Jordy (the beautiful black and white kitty in the profile pic with me) passed away today unexpectedly. Liz called me at the school I teach at and was crying saying she returned home from the gym to find him in our bedroom on the floor not breathing and Lady P. sitting close by. I rushed to the vet she brought him to but he had already passed. I hugged his body which was still warm to the touch and just cried and cried. I had just had him in my lap hours before playing with his fluffy feet and tail and giving him kisses as he hung out in the bathroom with me as I got ready for work each day. He had kissed Liz on the face before she had gone to the gym as he always did.I feel numb and such a strong sense of loss. People who don't understand losing a companion animal are beyond my own realm of thought, our companion animals are our family and losing Jordy to us is like losing a family member...I wish others understood this, some do...thankfully. We miss him so much already I can't explain..I have to go I can't write anymore right now...just wanted those of you who care to know.
