Pets are Family too

By: Chris Stolle

  I know this is primarily an entertainment company. I know we blog and record podcasts about movies, music, politics and so on. But I need to just talk right now as my family is suffering from the loss of a beloved cat, Bubbles.

  Bubbles is only 7, a yellow tabby, and very independent. But he was my girl's first pet and the devastation the news has caused her, my kids, and her parents honestly destroys me that much more. 

  It really amazes me how animals truely force their way into our hearts so fully that they become a child or sibling as well as a friend to is humans. Starting way back to I have no idea when we humans built connection with animals we domesticated mostly for purposes of hunting or removing unwanted pests and vermin. But instead they became more. So much more to humans. They became companions. And quite honestly the most loyal friends we would ever know in our lives. 

  Again I don't really know what the purpose of this blog is, education? Question? No I think it is simply my way to try to put to words how much this is effecting me too. I have put on the strong silent face to be a rock for those who are hurt right now. But truth be told he was my little buddy too and it's killing me too. I hate that he is so young, I hate that there is nothing they can do. I hate there is nothing I can do. I hate cancer so much it isn't even funny. I know what I feel doesn't really matter though. It is the way of the world, all things eventually die and return to the earth and to whatever faith you find. It just isn't comforting right now. Sorry this has gone more to an incoherent rant than anything else. But as I said I guess I really just needed to get it out. 

  In closing goodbye Bubbles. You will be missed and we're very loved by everyone who's lives you touched. Be at peace buddy. And thank you all for allowing me to just vent this out.
