K.C.

Ginny was the first one to order a brick in this group.  Many of you know Ginny from her daily comments on this blog.  She is an animal lover without a doubt and a BIG supporter of me and my work.  Now here is the story of K.C. in Ginny’s words.

When we lived in Arizona in 1983 I worked at a bank and I had to pass the shelter every time we took the trash to the dump.  It was not a no kill shelter.  Some runs were visible from the road, and some were inside the building with runs on the other side.

One night I had a dream that a dog was trying to contact me in my dream.  I saw the dog clearly.  The dog was a golden brown with a black nose and a little black around his eyes and his ears kind of hug down at a strange angle.  As soon as I got off work the next day I went straight to the shelter.  I went right inside and walked to the pen down at the back of the right hand side and there he was the exact dog I had seen in the dream.  I walked up to the cage and said to him, "You knew I would get you and I am here now."  He walked up to the wire and put his paw and nose to my hand.  He looked me right in the eyes.  He knew he was going home with me.

I loved that dog from the first minute I saw him.  He loved me as much.  He never left my side.  He would sit down in front of me and stick his front legs out with the paws crossed like a person crosses their legs.  When I moved, he moved.  I kept him inside alot and in a fenced in back yard.  When I was home from work, he was inside right with me.  He could feel my love.

I even contacted a psychic back in Kentucky about this - I did not send any money and thought I would not hear back.  In about 2 weeks I got a letter.  She said in a previous life I was a small Indian girl and K.C. was my scout dog and went everywhere with me.  Once he had saved my life.  It made complete sense.

We had to go to Chicago on business and left the dog at home and someone was going to take care of him.  I got a phone call telling me K.C. was dead.  I cried so hard I could not talk and drove home crying all the way.

The person had left the front door not latched and it came open and K.C. headed out to the highway.  He was killed by a car and a friend of ours picked him up and put him in a safe place until we got home to bury him.  I was sick all the way home.  I still cry for his loss.  I still love him after all these years.  He was just a stray of mixed breed but he was all heart and love.  I would get him back if I could.  I can't, but I can honor my beloved pet with a brick in Winnie's Walkway.

Now everyone knows about him and how he loved and was loved.

What a beautiful story about a very special relationship.

Oh Ginny - what a wonderful story and tribute to a great friend. I have no doubt you will find each other again some day. :)

[Mindy Slimmer]

That was beautiful.
Thank you Ginny for sharing K.C. with us.

Thanks for sharing Ginny!! May your memories of love outweigh the grief of loss and may KC come back while you are still here to enjoy him! (I've had that happen with a cat or two)

[candace nagle]

What a beautiful story...KC was a gift in your life...a true soul mate. Sometimes it seems that they wait til we aren't around to leave...and why they have to leave too soon is a great mystery. Your story really touched me...thank you for sharing.

[Cat's Cats]

Oh my gosh Ginny what a story!!! So sweet but so tragic. Thank you for sharing, now we will remember KC too :-)

Ginny, thanks for telling his story.

[Ginny & The F'ur Family]

Thank you all for your understanding lovely comments. I know some day I will find K.C again either in this life or over to the other side. love lives forever and ever.. Thank you Chrystal for telling K.C's story. I wish I had been able to have him cemated but I had to leave his body there. That troubles me so much. But ashes to ashes dust to dust and he by now has become a part of the environment and in a way lives on forever in the place he was born. I still love him and cry when I think of how many years we could have had together. Such a loss - It is so hard to get over a loss like that. Forgiving is even harder. He never should have been on the front side of the house. -- animals will take to the road if they panic out side. He was not allowed out of the fence unless walking on a leash. bye for now - Ginny & The Fur Family

What a beautiful story. We're sure there is a special place at the Bridge for KC and he is waiting for his mom to join him once again and run through the fields.

Ginny, I'm so sorry you had to lose such a sweetheart in such a tragic way. I hope everyone will check their doors as they remember KC so such a thing doesnt happen again. Your brick is a wonderful way for him to be remembered forever.

Hey people, take a look at the sidebar. Perhaps one of those kitties is waiting for you, looking into your eyes to show you that they belong to you forever. You wouldnt want to miss out on a minute of such a relationship, would you?

Please please share these posts with everyone you know, post on facebook, twitter, link to your blog, get the word out. If people can't take a kitty, perhaps they can help financially. Those kitties need to eat, get shots, get fixed, sometimes they need other medical help. These things cost money, something of which Chrystal and her family are not made of.. Please help if you can.
