Today is the sixteenth (16th) anniversary of when we adopted Saidi and it would have been her nineteenth (19th) birthday and whilst she is not with us physically, she remains very much a part of our lives.
I think about her daily and can still see her snuggled on the dog bed and hear her happy little meow when she jumped up on the bed for a fuss.
But this year having just lost Oscar I will be thinking that she will be celebrating her birthday and anniversary once again with her old friend. They both lived to 15, they both had wonderful lives and left us so many happy memories, and thankfully neither of them suffered long illness or had any pain in the final days.
