Dingles

On January 23rd, 2022 I lost my best friend of around 17 years. Dingles, I got you for my 4th birthday because the boys(my brothers had hamsters). I picked you because at the humane society as a kitten you scratched a little boy’s finger through the glass and I said “I want her!!” And that’s where it started. We went through our hell. I’ll save our long story. But for 17 years you were by my side. Through all the trauma I went through and heartbreak, you were next to me. You knew and came immediately. I’d cry and you’d lick me or my tears. You were my comfort and would nudge me. You were my best friend, for 17 years. You were sweet, funny but shy, loved your food, your favorites were bacon and cheese which you’d get every morning from your grandma (my mom) but absolutes were sour cream and onion pringles, McDonald’s French fries and bologna which we shared.

I gave you the best life I could of and I still feel I could of gave you more. There is so much I could write and say and cry about. But it would last days. Dingles, you may be just a “cat” but you ARE family and my best friend. I could not ever have a better companion or cat. I will never find a better one. You were ready, you lived an amazing life but I was surely not. It hurts but I know you made sure Adam and Goose were here to take care of me but just know I wish it were you. If it were possible I’d make it where you could live forever. I have never felt such great pain since certain people especially because you’re just “an animal” to some. To me you’re my family, best friend, partner in crime and everything in between. I love you my Dingles, my queen and pretty princess. I hope I gave you the best life I could and you’re at peace and with your bestie Jazz now. Just know I’ll think of you everyday and I’ll love you forever and always Dingles. 2004-2022
