A Tear Stained Letter: R.I.P. Lois
We had to put our cat to sleep. She was my friend and family member for 17 years. She was with me through ups and downs and lived every bit of her 9 lives. I brought her home at 2 weeks old and she stayed very much that kitten throughout her life. I met her when I was in college-- at the pet store I went to give her back to the store clerk and she wouldn't let got of my shirt. "I guess I'll take her," I said.
Anyone that knows us knows how much we loved Lois. She was our joy and we pampered her like you wouldn't believe. A reader of this blog probably saw plenty of pictures of our kitty.
We treated her for kidney disease for well over a year and it was a very difficult year. Despite knowing the end was near, we still couldn't believe it when the moment came.

Sorry for your loss my friend.
It is never easy to let go or say goodbye. For that long of a time to share life and love with an animal that becomes family for all of those years. I've been through it many a time (dogs and cats) and said never again.
But then, one comes along that tugs at your heart and says take me home...
Again, I feel your pain and sorrow my friend, sorry about your loss.
B.D.
