Goodbye, my Kallie Kat

[han-grrl]

Billie was about 15 years old. I adopted her from the SPCA in 1995. Actually the little princess picked me. She let me pet her and made me fall in love with her. I brought her home a couple of weeks later after it was determined that she had no owner looking for her.

This past year she had some teeth pulled and was diagnosed with a thyroid issue. She took her pills mostly unhappily.

Today i noticed her breathing was wierd and she was breathing with her mouth open. I brought her to the vet. He told me that she likely wouldn't make the night. No matter what i did, testing, take her home, she was suffering and i had to let her go. I have known this vet since i moved here in 1998 so i know he was being very honest with me. The best option was to put her down and it broke my heart.

The house seems completely empty without her and i am a complete mess.

It just happened so fast, which i am not sure is good or bad. I feel like she was taken from me.

Anyway, I understand your loss and send you hugs too.
