Trisha Yearwood Instagram – Sydney was my friend Mandy’s cat. She lived to be the ripe old age of 18 (at least!) We’re not exactly sure how old she was. Most of you know that I’m pretty much a dog person, but I have loved a few cats in my life. Sydney was one of those special ones. When I would go over to Mandy’s house, if I was there for coffee talk, or just hanging out, it wouldn’t take long for Sydney to make her way to me and lay right in the middle of my laptop, or snuggle up against me and let me pet her. Syd and I were buddies. This year, Sydney became a cover girl for the launch of TY Cat Food. One of my favorite things about Sydney is that expression on her face, that basically said, “Yeah, I know I’m cool”…and she was. Losing a pet is gut-wrenching. Most of us have been there and know the pain and loss all too well. But in the end, I would choose the unconditional love and joy that pets bring, knowing that the loss will eventually come, over not having these wonderful animals in our lives. Sending all of our love and comfort to Mandy. Thank you Sydney, for making our lives better. xoxo Trisha
