I really debated doing this photo, for two days I couldn't put Pooh's bed, dishes and mouse away. Planned on holding her pic and looking sad, but my heart is so broken I only got one shot before I broke down again. I don't cry pretty, like all my emotions I go full blown.
Pooh Kitty was the love of my life for 15 years, the last two she's been on the edge with kidney failure, I promised her I would NEVER let her suffer. Her little system suddenly shut down and it couldn't take anymore Wend, I had to honor my promise to her. She's had to eat icky kidney diet since 2004, she loves kitty treaties, but due to her kidneys couldn't have but 1 or 2 a week. So I got a bag and she got to eat the WHOLE thing, she laid down on my arm all full and purring, and left this world. I didn't realize how much my life for the past two years was all about Pooh, meds, fluids, getting her to eat when she felt rough, grooming her and giving and getting kisses. At the vet's office I cried of course, but I knew it was the right thing to do. At home there is a hole in this house, and my heart that is the size of Texas!
I am so happy this pix of Pooh made a TT,

| Oh Katie, I am so sorry. Wish I'd looked through the entries so I'd known what you were going through. Belated hugs and headbumps of love from me, Lily, Galena and Druli in spirit |

| You know that out there is another furbaby who needs a person to love. When the time comes, you'll find him or her. I do so hate that they don't live as long as us; it's so very hard when they leave us. |

Thank You All! It helped sharing my pain, I wear my feelings on my cuff, when I'm happy (usually all the time) Everyone knows it! It was hard to share pain, much much harder than doing a really goofy ugly photo of myself, which I do often. This was so raw, but I did it. I want to say I didn't do it for a sympathy vote, it just seemed like one of the best things I could say about Pooh to show how bad I miss her... Oh tears now.. quit
Wonderful to find all the fur baby lovers out here! |
