My baby’s kidneys had been ailing for the past year, and they finally failed her over Christmas. She bravely fought a losing battle, and I will never forget her love of her humans which she conveyed to us until her very last breath. We took her to the vet this afternoon — she is now resting in our building’s ample garden, very near the spot where we already buried Gypsy and Tiger. I want to believe that they are reunited in a happy place.
Apologies for not having been around lately (nor will I likely be in the next couple of days). I am crying as I type this, and as is so often the case, one major event follows on the heels of another — more on the other things going on in my life later, at a more convenient moment.
I hope everybody else had a Merry Christmas — and a Happy New Year to one and all, in case it should take me until next year to resurface here.
Lots of love to one and all!

*hugs* I’m so sorry…
Thank you. :~
I’m so sorry – there aren’t many things harder than losing a beloved pet. I’m still hurting after giving up my girl Daisy almost two years ago, and that wasn’t a death. *hugs*
Thank you. And yes, having to let them go (for whatever reason) is one of the hardest things, ever … regardless how many times you’ve been there before. 🙁
I’m so, so sorry. Sending you many hugs.
Thank you!
I am so sorry for your loss, I know the feeling of loosing a dear cat. Stay well dear friend.
Warm hugs and million of kisses.

Thank you — and than you for the beautiful present! I will reciprocate soon … I confess I’ve been so preoccupied (not merely with Holly) I didn’t even spare a thought for Christmas all December long. Please also say hello for me to Bettie and Wanda if you should speak to them — I haven’t been in touch with either for a long time, either.
I am so very sorry for your loss. They are a part of our family, and thus we mourn.
Thank you — they are, and we do. 🙁
So so very sorry to hear this. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you!
Very sorry to hear you are having to bear this burden.
Thank you. 🙁
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 At least you can take comfort in knowing she had a good life with you.
Thank you — and yes, that’ll be some comfort in the long run, I’m sure.
I’m a little late for this. I’m sorry for your lost.. I know she had a great time spent with you & your family 🙂
Thank you — she was certainly much loved. :~
