I haven't been on here in some time. I've not been in a place where I could share for the last several weeks.
My constant companion and special friend, Baby Kitty became very ill toward the end of December. She required tube feeding and much time concentrated on trying to get her well. When she did not appear to be responding to treatment and was showing signs on being in pain, we had to make some choices that were some of the most difficult we have faced.
We had to let her go across the Rainbow Bridge, peacefully and where she has no pain or sickness.
She was 14 1/2 years old and lived far longer than she might have, as the little feral kitten we rescued after the hurricanes of 2004. She was a beautiful and sweet Manx, who was born wild but became our baby all those years ago.
We are mourning her far more than we imagined, but know she is better off not being in pain. We made the most loving choice we could and saw her off nearly three weeks ago. I have been absent from here for longer because of holidays at first, then this personal loss.
If you have pets, love them while you have them, but make the loving choice if need be. It is far harder than I could have imagined and I still have some grieving to do. I can't say when, if ever I will be back to this blog but I need time for now.
If you read this, take care in 2019 as it lays before you shiny and new, strive for your best year ever.
Thanks for reading this.
