    Denise, I am sorry to hear of Abby's passing. Purrs from my Kallie Kat (who is on the mend from scaring me big time last month). Abby will be playing at rainbow bridge....

    Oh Denise, I'm so sorry. I guess you had time to prepare since the scare earlier this year, but that doesn't necessarily make the finality any easier to deal with.

    Hang in there, you were an excellent mom to Abby and I'm sure she'd thank you for it if she could.

    I'm sad, but I'm ok. I thought we were going to lose her in Janurary, so I was fortunate enough to have gotten a few extra month with her. And I made the most of it. But the last month has been hard, so I'm actually relieved.
    And getting the blessing from the vet helped. I was just so afraid that I was giving up on her, but the vet assured me that I wasn't.
    So anyway, it's gonna be weird not having the big grey dog around here, but that's part of life. I grew up on a ranch, so god knows I've seen the entire circle of life, and death doesn't scare me. I mourn the death and rejoice in the life all at the same time.

    So anyway, I'm off to Wildflower with the family. Hopefully the woodstock of triathlon will take my mind off of things..
    Ya'll have a good weekend. And hug your pets for me!
    Stay safe

    At least Abby will have TE fur friends to play with at the Rainbow Crossing. No more sickness, romp and play in the sun - and no one to fuss at you while galumping through things.

    so sorry

    (((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))) You made an unselfish decision for Abby. Unfortunately they cant make these decisions on their own. She will be at the crossing with all my furkids...maybe someday we will get to see them again. I will light a candle in her memory tonight.
    hugs ,and warm thoughts your way

    Denise, you know I just went through this three weeks ago. I still look for his face by the front door, and I'm still surprised that he's not there. I'm so sorry.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Yogi and the other TE fur kids at the Rainbow Bridge are showing Abby around right now. Not only are they surprised by how healthy and happy they all feel, they've noticed that there sure are a lot of butterflies up there!

    And there's even more for you

    Hugs and butterflies, you did right by your dear Abby

    ~T~
    The butterflies are within you.

    So sorry for your loss. I think every day what it would be like without my Pip driving me crazy, sitting on my shoulder while I try to type. But even driving me crazy I love the little guy to pieces. Take care. Just know you gave your companion a happy home for many years.
