Change

Sierra was given some very bad news today.

Her beloved mail-man came to the door to say "Good-bye" to us as he is starting a new route in a different part of our town tomorrow. Yes, the mailman that she sat and waited for every morning without fail on her little red bench. We will miss Terry as he was a great guy and always enjoyed a conversation with the retired-guy. But,  no one will miss him more than Sierra.  Terry always gave her cuddles.
She has been distraught all day today. She has yet to leave her '24 cans of holistic cat food' box and refuses to join us by the wood-stove. I'm wondering if she will ever sit on her porch bench again.

                                                            "I can't face the world."

I told her that life was full of changes; beginnings and ends. That someday a new mailman would come along (actually that would be tomorrow) and a new part to her life would begin. She had to just 'buck up' and get on with things. Accept change and hope that she would soon fall in love again. But she's not buying it. She just can't face the world right now.
I may have to intercept the first meeting and give this guy a heads up. He'd better like cats.

I'm joining up with http://camera-critters.blogspot.ca/
