Farewell little Sally

[Catherine]

I think you are very sensitive to animals feelings. You have known for some time that Sally wanted more. She really wanted a home and a family. She will be happy now with her people. I think she will miss you. You were there for her all those years.
That has to tug at your heart too. Even as you are releasing Sally to live with her family again, you know you were her good friend all those years and the feelings run deep for both of you. You love Sally enough to let her go to someone else because it is what's best for Sally.

This is a rainbow day for you. There are tears like rain as you say goodbye to Sally, but there is also a bright happy rainbow that matches the bright happy future Sally has ahead of her. I have wondered what would happen if Sally got old or sick living in her shed. Now she has a home to grow old in. I am glad the daughter has come for Sally, but I know how hard it is to see her go.
Big hugs to you from me and all my critters.

You deserve an award for long standing service to a little cat. You gave Sally a happy life. She will miss her quiet times with you in the shed.
