Still Here

She made it through the night.  I found her at the bottom of the stairs this morning, breathing still very labored.  She was obviously wanting to get up the stairs to me, but couldn’t.  I’m amazed she walked from the dining room to the stairs.  It’s breaking my heart.

I had hoped she would go during the night.  I don’t want to be the one to choose to end her life, I just wanted her to go when it was her time.  But now I will, because I know she’s in pain.

Thanks for all your well wishes.  I’ll be ok.  I know our pets also go to a better place.  My mom loved cats, I know she’ll take good care of her.

  1. (((((Hugs))))) She held on to see you before she left.

    I’m glad you didn’t have to make the decision and that she was at home with you instead of the cold, impersonal veterinary clinic. She’s now free of pain and in a better place, it’s us who are left behind who have to deal with gap. x
