This is my other sister’s cat Bella
Sweet Ol Burner I’m convinced our pets are grieving losses. My cats for sure did. Sending snuggles and a good scratch
I am so so sorry for your loss Eric. These majestic and beloved creatures sure do have a very special way of wiggling their way into our hearts, dont they? With that, there they will remain, never far away and always in our hearts. Many hugs to you. (((Hugs)))
Thanks Deb. Appreciate it.
She was truly a one of a kind winner dog.
Oh Eric (@Dazercat) I’m so sorry for your loss. I came on this thread as we put our sweet Eva to rest today and I hadn’t realized that you had just done the same. Eva was food motivated too…when I see pictures of Minnie creeping in the background of food photos it always reminded me of sweet Eva. She was the sweetest girl I ever had.
After they gave her the first shot (the sedative) she started to calm down (she had been really nervous). As she was calming down she turned to me and started licking my tears and my nose and my mouth. Then she did the same to my husband. She hasn’t done that at all in the past many days.
It was like she was scared and didn’t know what was going on. And they she knew, and then she wasn’t scared anymore…and she wanted to let us know that it was okay. She was comforting us like she always did when we were sad.
Rest Easy Sweet girl. I love you so so much
Aww! I’m so sorry for your loss @ELY83. Eva is such a sweetheart. Your sweet girl is now with Minnie and all the other TS pets, having a good time, not feeling anymore pain.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry for your sweet Eva. What a beautiful girl. I’m sorry she was anxious before the sedative. That sucks. Poor thing. They used the Poropofol for Minnie and she got to sleep right away before the injection. She pretty calm to begin with so that was nice. She was definitely ready. It keeps hitting me in waves. I thought it would get easier by now. But it’s all good. I think my gratitude practice for 3.5 years and being sober that long is paying off big time now!! I’m so glad I can be sober throughout all this in her memory. The worst milestone ever. But it’s ok.
Again, sorry about that sweet girl of yours.
Rest easy sweet Eva
I hear you on the waves. The house feels SO empty without her. Still, at the end, she was in a lot of pain. She was scared all the time because she couldn’t see and had dimentia. She just kept standing in corners and whimpering. I’m writing this because when I put it in perspective like this, I can be ag peace with it. When I’m not repeating this though….I just keep saying “I miss her so much…all I want to do is cuddle with her” this plays on repeat in my head over and over again. It’s made me realize more the nature of my brain. It has a tendency to get stuck in loops and those loops are usually less than optimal for my well-being. I’m thinking i will bring it up in therapy. In the meantime, I will try to lean into my gratitude practice (it’s a bit rusty). Thank you for the reminder Eric. Sending you and Minnie love tonight
I’m so sorry you had to put your fur baby down today All the hugs for you
I’m glad that all our deceased fur babies are at peace now and they had a life full of love and joy while with us
Sending hugs and love to all who are grieving and scratches to all who are still with us.
WOW - just friends you met at the park or are they all hers?
