I miss Nuno. I know it's probably hard for other canines to understand (except my best buds Bob & Tobey) but I really loved my feline brother... even though my behavior made others think otherwise. I guess it just goes to show you that there are certain things that are just pure instinct and that you can't always control instincts... no matter how hard you try. Here's a picture of him. Wasn't he cute? See that blanket he's laying on in the pic? That's my blanket now. So now I always have Nuno with me.
Dad came home on Monday with Nuno's ashes. Even though we're not doing Christmas this year, he says for Christmas that he's going to get mom a special urn to put them in so that mom can have Nuno with her forever. Mom came home that night and just cried and cried and cried because she misses him so much. She cries alot when she she's home and she mopes. I try cheering her up.... but nothing works. If that is what having a broken heart does to you, I hope mine never breaks. Uh-oh.. she's crying again... I need to go give her some cuddles and do something stupid to make her laugh.

Dear Parker -
We feel so deeply for your loss and do understand the concept of loving someone who is not canine or human. When Mama came home and told us about Nuno we wept with her.
I don't know everything but I do know that a broken heart can heal. And where it was broken a special patch grows and on that patch is an angel. In your Mama's case that angel is Nuno. It is just going to take time. Please know that your Mama appreciates all of the extra loving you are giving her even if she doesn't always say it. She is in pain and it will eventually go away, but her love for Nuno will not.
That is so nice that you are keeping Nuno's blanket. You are so lucky to have learned to love outside of your canine group. That is a wonderful gift that Nuno gave you. Consider yourself blessed.
As for your Mama, please give her our love. I know that our Mama is trying her best to always be there for her and ease her pain. As for skipping Christmas this year - it's not a big deal, perhaps instead of celebrating with Santa, you will celebrate with the Easter Bunny - I hear he's very kind.
Belly rubs and hugs -
Bob & Tobey
