Honest and with a good punchline at the end. I like stories about wildlife. Thanks for sharing this.

Short though it is, a lot of people will relate to it.

You have some vivid metephores and the final sentence is certainly true.

Brief though it is, you evoke the scene well.

Considering how young you are, you evoke nostalga very well.

You evokr the setting very well. I could imagine myself there.

This reminds me of what the vicar said at my father's funeral. He said this goodbye is different from all the others but don't forget see you as in see you later. Not everyone will agree but he meant well and i took it as it was meant.

I like this piece, your descriptions are vivid and the climax is a dtamatic twist. The relationship between the pets rings true.
