I write this in sadness when I remember the day a few yesrs ago when I accidently ran over my beautiful 18 year old cat Spook who was lying under my car on a warm summer day.
I needed to go out and getting into my car began to back out when I felt a bump and knew immediately what had happened as there front of my car was Spook spinning around with blood all around her head.
I jumped from the car but when I picked her up knew it was too late to save her so needed to end her pain. So with all the strength I could muster I held my hands around her neck and squeezed until she stopped breathing ( about 30 seconds but then she relalaxed and died)
This was one of the hardest thing I have ever done and only when she was at peace did I scream and then sobbed for hours, comforted by my neightbour and daughter. (Even writing this I am crying with the memory of that terrible day.
I buried her that day in her favourite place in my garden and I look out the window and see her every day and think of the lovely times we shared as every night she would come and sit on my knee for a pat. We all loved our 'Spook' and miss her terribly.
I thought I would share this story with you in rhyme and thank you for reading my work
