This week was difficult. I had to say goodbye to a four-legged friend, my little cat Sadie. She had been sick for over a week and when the vet examined her she found a tumor on her pancreas. I thought we would just take her in and the vet would prescribe some meds and she would be fine. But that wasn't to be. We made the painful decision to let her go. I stayed with her through it all.. and kissed her goodbye.
I miss her... and yet I know it was the only thing we could have done.
but that doesn't make it any easier.
She was a unique little creature. She loved to carry a tiny terrycloth ball in her mouth. I believe she thought it was her baby. We would find it in front of the food dish, in the water bowl and she would curl up with it. She had a very persistent meow and beautiful green eyes. Her favorite perch was the top cushion of the sofa. She could keep a watchful eye on everything around her.
You have gone ahead
and nothing is the same
leaving pawprints on my heart
that will always remain
Oh, I am sorry for your loss G. We lost our Max recently and just a bit before our dog, Reggie. both of these four legged friends were members of our families and our hearts.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so hard to say goodbye to a pet that gave so much more just by being there with us.
I hope the pain eases in a relatively short time. ((Hugs))
Oh I am sooo sorry..it is never easy to let go and sometimes we try to hold on, more for us then what we know is right for them. Thank you for making this self-less decission and giving her peace..it will not be easy and you may even think you hear her sometimes.It was that way when we had to say good-bye to our cat Bones..sening hugs.. {{ }}
