In July 2013, my cat Edison ran away. Everything about it was my fault and I continue to hold onto the guilt. Although I still cry over Edison, I want to save other pet parents from the heartbreak I go through everyday because of his loss. I share my story of Edison running away in hopes of educating others on how they can keep their pets safe. For Lost Pet Prevention Month, I want to revisit Edison’s story and suggest ways that you can save yourself from every pet parent’s worst nightmare. I’m giving away an ID collar and tags so you can keep your pups and kitties protected at all times!
Grieving the Loss of a Pet…Three Years Later.
I adopted Edison when he was 8 weeks old in September of 2010. He was the first cat I had on my own. I remember how rambunctious he was. He’d never let me sleep. He always wanted to play. Edison gave me a run for my money, and I’d do anything to have him back. Edison ran away almost three years ago and I’m still not over it. I still cry. I’m still grieving. I pray everyday that God will bring him home to me.
