Shadow

Shadow passed away today on June 7th, 2024. She was the sister of Wind.

She was mainly Tristan’s baby. He was four years old when we got her; they were inseparable. She absolutely loved to be in her purrito with Tristan for hours while he would do schoolwork or gaming. We would all joke about how spiteful she could be, and she proved that even in the end.

We knew her time was coming up, so I called BluePearl and set up a plan for coming in this evening to put her down; we knew she only had days left and didn’t want her to suffer. I joked about how she would probably pass away the minute I pulled into their parking lot, just to be dramatic.

Sure. Fucking. Enough.

Tristan came with me, of course, and I said the same thing to him about her making me drive 30 min one-way in rush hour for no reason, and as I pulled into their parking lot, she gasped once and was gone. We just sat there, stunned. I said well, let’s go in for confirmation. The staff didn’t know what to do, and it was so awkward that it was funny.

Even in her last moments, she wanted to do it on her terms and leave a lasting, dramatic memory.

She is going to be so deeply missed.
