She'd been sick for several weeks, and we found out Friday it was advanced cancer and there was nothing we could do. As much as we wanted to hold on, it was best for her to let her go.
We had one last good morning filled with love and snuggles and sunshine on the porch, and then said goodbye. She was deeply loved, and will be deeply missed.
My guest authors and contributors will continue to post this week, but I'll be taking a break. I'll return next Monday. I thank you all for understanding.
So sorry, Janice. It's very hard when your pet dies. Don't feel bad about taking a break.

ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences, Janice, on the passing of your beloved fur baby. The kindest and most loving thing we can do for them is to let them go when it's time. But the decision never gets any easier, I know. The only thing I've found that helps is the solace of wonderful memories, the healing passage of time, and the reassuring knowledge that they will always live with me deep inside my heart. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteSending you my best wishes. You gave her the best of everything including a good life and a peaceful passing.
