My heart is broken. Yesterday I took our beautiful furbaby to our vet as he has
not 'been himself' lately. He turned 19 at Christmas so we thought he was
just feeling his age and slowing down.
Last week our vet booked us to return yesterday for
blood tests and a thorough examination under heavy sedation. Imagine my
immense shock when the vet immediately discovered an intestinal tumour
the size of a large orange.
While Cookie lately has been very fussy about his food and had lost some
weight he showed no signs of having any pain. We all agreed that he would
spend the short time he had left in severe pain, so the kindest thing was to
help him cross the Rainbow Bridge. He has been such a 'personality boy',
and such good company for both John and myself. However, since John
had to go into a nursing home in August, Cookie has been constantly by
my side, day and night. I will miss him more than words can say.
Rest In Peace my beautiful, brave boy.
(The photos above were taken as recently as last August - don't you love
those gorgeous, expressive eyes).
With tears streaming down my cheeks, I will say goodnight and hope I can sleep without Cookie curled up beside me.
Hugs,
Jennifer. x

I just sent you a message in regards to the Guest DT spot but wanted to stop by to tell you here how very sorry I am for the loss of your dear kitty. So I am writing this with tears in my eyes. Our pets become such big parts of the family so I can imagine how hard it is for you.
