After the death of our Penny, we sent an email out to those who know us, advising them of our loss.
I hear through someone that another person who received the email had made a smart-alecky remark about that email. Apparently we were being too over dramatic and that those who didn't know, would have thought we'd lost a child.
Well, firstly, it was only sent to people who know us.
Secondly, if you couldn't see that the announcement was written on wallpaper of our cat, then you were bloody stupid.
Thirdly, for us baren couples, she was our child. Heaven forbid we would treat our animals as one of our family.
I try not to let what people say about me affect me but it is hard to just brush aside.
Penny was our daughter, our family, and those who don't get it are obviously never going to.
We consider ourselves lucky to have called her our family and she will forever be a part of us.
