Goodbye, Gracie

After sixteen years, my gorgeous, sweet Gracie called it a day. Either her heart condition flared up, or she had developed cancer, but two days ago I noticed she had difficulty breathing. Took her to the vet yesterday. She got a shot of cortisone and they told me to see how she was this morning. She was worse. I brought her in again this morning. We tried one more treatment. Got her home, and she was suffering. So my vet fulfilled the promise he made me and came by with his tech. We put Gracie in her box and gave her peace.

I miss my girl.

    I’m sorry to hear that, Meryl. At least you had a long time to enjoy her company.

    Meryl, I’m so sorry. They become part of us, and it’s so hard when they go.

    I was a long-distance admirer of Gracie for years, and I’ll miss her. May her memory be for a blessing.

    Meryl, I am so sorry to read about Gracie, I know how difficult it must be for you.
    I lost my nineteen year old Siamese Chico six years ago and still miss him.
    You did all that you could, she is now pain free and at peace.

    Miss Gracie, as always true to her name.

    Oh no, I’m so sorry. But I’m glad you were able to ease her passing.

    That’s sad. Hard to part with a “character” like Gracie.

    May you continue to be blessed with her memories.
