nancy in AZ Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I let my sweet Kit go yesterday. I can't even gather my thoughts to write anything meaningful about what she meant to me. She had another bowel obstruction. I couldn't put either one of us through that surgery again. She'd had emergency bowel obstruction surgery less than 3 months ago. I thought I was going to lose her. In fact, I'd made two appointments to have her euthanized following that surgery, but she rallied. But afterward, though her physical state had mostly recovered, she was just not herself mentally--- it was like she'd been lobotomized. She would barely engage. She didn't greet me. She barely interacted or showed any emotion. She was an automaton. I'd hold her by the ruff of her neck and look her in the face and say, "Kit!! are you in there?" And then finally she came back to me. And she was her old self again. And after all that, now this. She's gone and I'm heartbroken. Rest in peace my sweet Kit.

KrisK Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am so sorry to hear about Kit. Our time with them is too short. A friend sent this to me when I lost my Zachary. A PARTING PRAYER Dear Lord, please open your gates and call St. Francis to come escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge Assign him a place of honour for he had been a faithful servant and has always done his best to please me Bless the hands that sent him to you for they are doing so in love and compassion freeing him from pain and suffering Grant me the strength to not dwell on my loss. Help me remember the details of his life with the Love he has shown me And grant me the courage to honour him by sharing those memories with others Let him remember me as well And let him know that I will always love him And when it’s my time to pass over into your paradise please allow him to accompany those who will bring me home Thank you Lord for the gift of his companionship and for the time we’ve had together And thank you Lord for granting me the strength to give him to you now.

nancy Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Dixie and I - and even Maggie da Cat - are so sorry. Why can't they live as long as we do? Or even half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
