Pet Memorials

Oliver loved her family very much even though she was skittish around others. Every night when they were little, Ollie would hop up and literally watch over my daughter until she fell asleep. When anyone in the family was sick, Oliver seemed to know and always came to comfort. When she was young she loved playing fetch with hair ties. She also loved drinking water from a faucet and at one point had learned how to turn the tub on just enough so she could drink from it. When my son went off to college and would video call home, Oliver loved coming to see him and the screen. She was not very happy when we got our dog and decided to live upstairs from that point forward. When my daughter moved out that became the cats room and she had a huge cat tree by a sunny window which she loved. She would come to sleep on top of me and give me a little bite every now and then to wake me up. She also learned how to say hello when I got home from work, she would shout hello over and over from the top of the stairs till I came up to see her and would purr like crazy while we were together. The morning of the day she passed I checked in on her and she was snuggled up into her little hut and peaking out at me, she was purring so much as I told her I loved her and was sorry she was not well. She gave me a little blink and we just looked at each other for a bit.  I had a feeling that might be our last goodbye. Thank you for loving us all these past 17 years and I forgive you for the many pieces of furniture and floors. Rest in peace my little miss Oliver.
