Today we laid to rest our wonderful boy Teddy. He was 14 years old and will be missed sorely. He was born here the year after we moved permanently to the country. His only direct remaining sibling is Siegfried, our Silver Tabby.
He was laid to rest next to his brother Cheetah, on a bed of Lambs Ear leaves, mixed with Lavender buds, Rose petals, cedar chips and Lemon Balm branches.
We planted a Magnolia on his grave.
It will be some time before the pain of his leaving will get easier.
But he will live on in our memory always. His deep purr, his abiding affection and love. And last but not least, even his annoying drooling no doubt. Every passionate encounter with him would leave me full of damp dribbles. You were well loved my boy, and will always be in our hearts. :)
Goodbye, Teddy.
