This is a heartbreaking way to lose a pet. You must think of that day often. Until I read your notes I thought the image represented your actual cat. The poem is well written and tells the whole story.

Hi Susan Thank you for your review and yes I do think of that day and the image is very much like my Spook I didnt have a pic on my Ipad of my cat i am sure Spook wont mind
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Many of us have lost pets, but few I'm sure have gone through what you experienced that day. Taking a pet to the vet for that last goodbye in no way compares to that terrible happening. Though I am sure it was hard for you to write, you have done a splendid job. God Bless you.

Hi Raffaelina Thank you for your review and no it was split second decision but I had no choice as she would not have made it to the Vets anyway to injured However she was peaceful at last and she was loved very much throughout her life This was a difficult write so mauch appreciate your words
Comment from Justin Chopin
That was a very intense poem especially with the details you added about what you had to do after you saw all of the blood gushing out of your cat. I am glad that you were able to get take all of your grief and turn it into this fantastic piece of poetry. Sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry about this. It's very sad and unfortunate to lose a member of the family in this way. It was just a terrible accident. I appreciate you sharing this beautifully written personal story that speaks about a dear lost family member. My condolences and well done!

Hi Duchess Thank you for reading my poem it was difficult to write but I have my lovely memories of our dear Spook and I appreciate your comments
Hi Anon,
You're more than welcome. Spook, looks very much like a cat I had. When they die it's absolutely heart-breaking.
God bless and take care,
the Duchess
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Oh, this is so heart-breaking. The same thing happened to me years ago, but it was our adorable little puppy. I cried off and on for days, grieved for a long time. I can't imagine how awful it was for you having to put the pet out of its misery; this was an act of mercy and love. Your poem is VERY well-written and moving.

Hi Janice, Thanks for your review and yes it was a terrible accident and I still cry when I think of the circumstances but to end her suffering was my priority as hard as it was to do it was the right thing No vet could have saved her .I have lovely memories of her being with us for so long
Comment from LisaMay
What a shocking dilemma for you - to do the worst thing and then the best thing for your much-loved cat. How brave of you to end her pain like that, and how brave of you to revisit that scene through your poem, which captures all the angst of that terrible situation.

Hi Lisa Oh yes it was terrible all round and I still get sad thinking about everything that day but I had her for a long time and that was my bonus I do miss her though Thanks for your review appreciated
Comment from Gail Denham
What an awful hard thing to do - end your poor cat's suffering. This has happened to us a few times in a less dramatic fashion - when the vet would say "it's time" and they took care of the ending. We still have the ashes of our last dog on top the fridge - my husband loved that dog. But that was maybe four years ago. It might be time.
A good poem - dramatic and passionate.

Accidentally your pet cat Spook died under your car, you miss her, every day you look at her grave in your garden; a moving story, well said, well done.

Hi Alcreator Thanks for reviewing my sad poem and I do miss her but have good memories of her 18 years with us I think she was deaf and just couldnt hear the car.
Comment from Patty Palmer
This must have been terrible for you! And for poor Spook to say the least! My in-laws lived on a farm with lots of cats around and I remember that any time you started your car, we all had to be sure to look to make sure there wasn't a cat under the hood or somewhere they could get hurt.
