MY BELOVED DYLAN
by NEENA KOEHLER.........................................
ON DECEMBER 20, 2011 DYLAN THOMAS PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 16 AND A HALF YEARS OLD, this was the best cat i ever loved and knew, he was very handsome, very smart, loved everyone and everything, I got dylan and his sister gwedylan when they were 8 weeks old and it was love at first sight, my then boyfriend got them for me when my cat trevor died the day before we got them, I wasn't looking for new babies since I was greiving over trevor's death he died only at the age of 10 and a half, anyway my boyfriend said lets just go look to see new babies to take my mind of trevor, well,we ended up adopting dylan and gwendylan that night and thats when our life together began
and what a wonderful life we had, he was one of the funniest cats, what a personnalty he had, we would spend hours playing with him and laughing , he was also taught how to walk on a leash, he loved going for walks, he knew, "wanna go out" he knew " wanna a cookie and when asked to give his paw for a cookie he would, he also would speak for a cookie when asked .and fetched his toys and bring them back to me, he loved getting baths and playing with his toys in the bath tub, he was really a dog in a cats body , I called him puppy cat, he had some many nick names, this boy was all black with 10 white hairs on his chest, with the lightest green eyes and at times they were gold eyes when I cried dylan licked my tears away and comforted me, when I was sick in bed he never left my side, his love for me was so unconditional, even if i was in a bad mood , all I had to do was look at him and he would come walking up to me and rub himself on me purring and i was all better,when he hugged me he would wrap his paws around my neck, he was always licking my face, hands and he was obsessed with licking my eyelids, that was a little weird, and he loved the taste of my shampoo because he was a big hair licker, his favorite food in the world was baby food, and he had his favorites, h loved plain peanutbutter, and fresh made turkey, chicken, whipped cream,potatoechips and chessedoodles, dylan was a real charater, sometimes he would make the silliest expressions, he loved his toys , and loved to kill them, dylan slept with me all the time, he had to have his paw touching hand or his head in my hand and purr himself to sleep, then somewhere in the night he would go sleep in one of his three beds, he was so funny when he would get really excited he would pink he tail up and down, and if you asked him " what do I have " he would start meowing up a storm and dance around in circles, there wasn't a person who didn't like him or he like them, one thing he did't like is when I sang, funny as it sounds when I would sing he would walk up to me and meow like to say shut up, please your hurting my ears" and if I was in another room singing he would find me , really, and stand in front of me and meow
he loved to be groomed, he loved having his fur brushed, he was so special, I loved all my dogs and cats , but dylan, he was one in a million, I know your not supposed to have favorites, the morning he passed away, the night before he wa in bed with me like he always was, lying down next to me , purring, then although the night he kept jumping on and off the bed, then it was about early morning when he was just sitting over me and he licked my face and i pet him and fell back to sleep and the next thing i heard him cry out and when i looked up he was lying on the floor dead, i think that he must of had a stroke or massive heart attack, but he died in his sleep with out suffering, he might of known because he kissed me goodbye and that said i love you mama, and later that night i buried the love of my life, words cannot say how broken hearted i am, i have not stop crying, cant really eat or sleep, i keep thinking i feel him in bed with me, or hear him meowing, or i think i see him from the corner of my eye, but i dont, people keep saying how sorry they are and they know how i feel, no one knows how i feel, i am so sick inside, people are telling me how lucky and how gratful i should be that i had dylan for 16 and a half years, and they are right, i am lucky , and i should focus on the good life i was so very blessed to have him for almost 17 years but i guess im selfesh, i wanted him for ever, but now thats not gonna happen, i will never stop loving this wonderful cat, i cant put into words how much i miss him, its very hard going home to an empty house without him greeting me at the door, or just being with him, i dont know how life for me will be without dylan, i've never known such love from this cat, if there is a good thing , is that my baby didn't suffer and went to heaven or the rainbow bridge knowing how much we loved eachother, there cant be any consultation to this story, but when i am ready to have a new baby in my life i hope that he will be as wonderful as dylan was to me, tough shoes to fill, i end my life with dylan saying that i love you for ever , and you will always be a big part of me and always you will be in my heart, my mind and my soul, so go and run free with your family that has already gone to the rainbow bridge and know that mommy will see you again one day,rest in peace my love .
