[align=left]I remember when I first came home to find you'd been dropped off by the rescue. You shyed away from my hand and you wouldn't even look at me.
You used to hide in the back of the carrier, on the few occasions we managed to coax you out of your cage, and you hid from the slightest sound or movement.[/align]
[align=left]Moving you and Ollie into the kitchen was the best thing we ever did for you. You came out of your shell and you took our home as your own. You even started to love being petted.
You got so bold you used to tear holes in our shopping bags and climb into the fridge whenever we opened it.
You were our stubborn little princess who would refuse touse a day-old litterbox.
I even thought I was breaking through to you and making friends, finally.[/align]
[align=left]I never did get that video of you and Ollie chasing Lee backwards and forwards because you thought he might have some kind of food for you. I told him I'd get it 'some other time'.
I wanted to wait until it was warmer to take you to play in my parents' garden, because I didn't want you to get sick.
I said that when I finished my NVQ, I would get the clickers out again and teach you all the things I know you were capable of.[/align]
[align=left]I can't believe it was only eight months ago when you came to us. It's not enough time with you, my Rosie-bear, but life isnever enough time.[/align]
[align=left]It was all so sudden. Last night you were chasing a wrapper around the kitchen floor, and you stomped at me when I snatched it away from you. I thought you'd gotten into something; eaten something bad. I thought the vet would give us some medicine and you'd be all better again. When I put you in that carrier this morning, I never would have thought I'd never see you again.[/align]
[align=left]I don't know how long that tumor was growing inside you, but I wish that we had found it sooner, before it attached itself to a part of your body and made itself permanent.[/align]
[align=left]You will have a place in our thoughts and our hearts forever, Rose. Goodbye seems so final, but I know that I need to let you go now. I know that I need to look after Ollie, because he is looking for you already. I don't think he understands, yet, that you aren't coming home. We had to leave him in the dark kitchen, on his own, for the first time ever tonight, and when we came home he didn't even come to greet us.[/align]
[align=left]I love you always. I miss you already. Sleep well my sweet baby girl.[/align]
