Been doing some ‘Spring cleaning’ in the summer and came across the pet collar of our deceased cat. I don’t have the heart to discard it as yet. It has her name on one side with our old phone number and my daughter’s name and our address on the other. Angel never liked wearing the collar. She was feisty but my daughter and I had a close bond with her. It was hard when she died. I have not wanted another cat since.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, #SOCS, is hosted by Linda G Hill. The prompt for today is “collar.” Use it as a verb, a noun, or metaphorically. Bonus points for using it in all three ways!

I’m sorry. I wouldn’t be able to throw out her collar either.

Don’t throw it away. Keep it to remember her. At least the tag…

I was surprised to find it. I could put it in our photo album with her photo. Good idea. Thank you, John.

A cat collar doesn’t take up much room and is worth the sweet memories of love. I wrote about keeping old dog collars.

It does bring up memories and it is sweet too because it has my daughter’s name on it. Angel was her pet when she was little. That is sweet about your dog collars too.

I agree with keeping the collar and tag. Nice memories of times passed. I still have all our dog collars and tags, and remember all the good times & walks with them. Still have the cat collars, too, except they never really wore them. I have their toys too. 🙂

Sweet memories… Angel’s are for loving! We lost our own angel, Midnight, a year ago August (2019)… Sweet memories of her are always with us.

It’s hard to move on from these things. We still have things from our first dog.

We do. We think of them often, especially when the current drew does something that reminds us of them.

too dear Deborah! You can keep the tag, maybe on a key ring. And the photo for an album …
