GOODBYE MY BABY

After this posting, the Sugar Shack will stand silent for the month of July, out of honor, respect, & love for my girl.
This entry is so hard to make, as my heart is breaking & tears are falling.

My beloved Angel has gone to the Rainbow Bridge, I escorted her there early this morning, & said my final goodbyes (for this world).
Remember how I posted on my last entry that she was only picking at her food? Well, that same day she started to refuse all food. She was becoming wobbly, & just wanted to sleep.

I took her to the Vet the next day, she had lost 9 lbs in those 1 1/2 wks since becoming sick, & had a high fever. She was given antibiotics & a special precsription food. They did lab tests, results were to be back a few days later.
Dr prepared me, by saying at Angel's age & symptoms, it could easily be stomach cancer.

She continued to refuse all food. I spent the wkend loving her, I was so afraid of what the new week would bring.

Then came what I was fearing. A phone call that said what the results showed, she had liver cancer. Vet said she could give her meds to make it easier for her, & I could try any & all type foods for her, cook for her & baby her, in what little time that remained.

But, I told her no, the time was 'right now', I had already loved her the best I could for 15 yrs, & this past wkend had spent the time cuddling with her. It was time now, to let her go, FOR HER, I wouldn't keep her with me knowing that she was dying.
To let her go ahead to the Rainbow Bridge with her dignity intact, as she's always been a very dignified furr.
I told the Vet, we'd be there shortly.

So, Michael drove us on that final drive, & she was taken into the arms of an angel, as she fell asleep quietly & quickly. Beginning a new journey, without me & Sweetie & Monk.

As many of you have been our friends/readers for several yrs & recall the furrs own journal at J-Land. I wanted to let you know, a part of my world has been taken away, & hope you join me in grieving, & healing...as Angel wouldn't want us to hurt for too long.
TY to ea of you that have known Angel in this life, she was the best!
I have entered her name & photo on OUR BELOVED PETS.

I'll see you again, my dear Angel, woof a big hello to your buddies Rascal, Lamby, Puddin, Lolli Pop, & Shy Anne...as they run to greet you.
ALL MY LOVE SWEET GIRL & GOD'S SPEED!
