Yesterday I said goodbye to my little Princess Lady Lucy - she is with Gino now. It was such a hard decision to make but I had to do what was best for HER and not be selfish. She had gotten so she wasn't eating, her nose was starting to bleed, and her little eye was just so swollen. I didn't want her to suffer & I know she couldn't tell me if she was hurting or not. She was still being her cuddlebug self - always on my lap & purring up a storm. Not sure if the purring was contentment or pain though - she had been on pain meds for the past 10 days.

I didn't want to make this decision & I thought she'd have more time. I just know that there was no getting better for her & she would only get worse. I refused to let her starve to death & she just wasn't eating. So with saddening heart I took her to the vet yesterday so she could be at peace with her brother, Gino.

On the way to the vet I saw a rainbow, and I took that as a sign of Gino & Cracker welcoming their sister home.

Goodbye my Sweet Sweet Lucy - I miss you so much already.

The rainbow was surely a sign from Gino and Cracker to let you know that they were ready to welcome Sweet Lucy.

My deepest sympathy to you on losing your beloved Lucy.

Hi, I'm Annie, Katie's auntie, I am so sorry to hear that you lost Lucy. Good-byes are always hard, but in the case of our animals, it's even harder. I have been there so many times myself over the years and it doesn't get any easier, only harder. Please, if you need to, go ahead and e-mail me through Katie's paw mail. I can't guaratee that I'll answer it right away, but I will get to it as soon as I can as I use the computer at the library and I have limited time on it. Purrs, hugs, kittie kisses, head noogies, and lotsa love your way!
