One More Day

Lately I have been pondering what would I do if I could have just one more day with Fluffy. Of course one more day would never be enough, one more year would not be enough, but what would I do if I could have just one more day to spend with her.

As I wrote in a previous post there are two things that I want to ensure that Fluffy knows. I want her to understand how much I love her and I always will and how much I want to thank her for how she changed me for the better and how many wonderful memories and gifts that she gave me. If I could spend another twenty-four hours with her I would make sure that every I hour I told her how much I love her and I would thank her for being her.

I would also show her how much I love her by giving her lots of pets and of course good scratches under her chin and around her ears, those were her favorite. I would also get out all of her favorite toys and get down on the ground and play with her. What I would give to see her toy avocado in her front paws while she rolled on her back and tried to scratch the avocado with her back paws. She loved that avocado. I would also pick up her purple plastic stick and hide it under her red towel for her to try and get. She loved to pounce and try to catch her purple stick. Maybe we would also play a game a chase or she would try and scare Sam as he came out of the bathroom. I cherish all of the memories we made playing games together.

Next, I would give Fluffy all of her favorite treats and food. I am sure that Sam would cook up a chick breast for her as well as some fish. She really loved tuna and salmon. She loved to help Sam cook and rub against the back of his legs while he stood at the stove. Once the food was ready and cooled to a temperature suitable for her to eat, we would place it in her dish and she would purr the whole time while she ate. She was definitely a foodie!

Eventually Fluffy would need to go outside and this time I would follow her, at a distance. I would love for one day to see the world through Fluffy's eyes. I would like to walk the path that she would normally take around our neighborhood. We were always curious if she had a set path, where would she typically stop, did people still leave food and water out for her? I would also sit out back with her as she stared into the weeds and woods behind out house. I would like to see up close how she would stalk and hunt.

Lastly, I would try and stay up with her at night. I do not think that I could sleep knowing that I only had a few precious hours left with Fluffy so instead I would sleep when she would sleep and get up when she got up. I know she was more of a night creature and I am sure that she got lonely and bored being the only one up in the middle of the night. This is why I would stay up and give her a few treats and play with her, whatever she wanted to do I would do.

I know one more day would never be enough, but it would give me time to tell and to show Fluffy how much I love her. I will never get that one more day, but what I do have is an endless amount of memories to last me until we meet again one day.
