    Blackie Has Gone To Rainbow Bridge

    Blackie had not much of an appetite for the last couple of weeks. He stopped eating
    altogether Sunday. He would drink some water, but no solids. He was getting weaker
    and started to hide under a overstuffed rocking chair in the living room.

    I took him in to see the Vet today and she said he was shutting down. He had lost another
    2 1/2 lbs since a month ago. Blackie was put to sleep & went peacefully with his head
    cradled in my arm. I whispered to him to go find Redbud. I'm sure he is waiting just over
    the bridge.

    Oh dear, 2.5 pounds in one month is quite a bit, poor kitty. You made the right decision, hard as it was -- and I'm sure it was. I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you. RIP Blackie, go find Redbud!

    I wanted to add a few pictures of my sweetie, but right now my brain is fried. I'll try to figure
    out the picture process later on. I just feel so sad & empty right now. I'm just tired I guess.

    Oh, I'm so very sorry.

    Rest in peace, dearest Blackie, with your buddy Redbud, both of you whole, healthy, and happy there at the Bridge awaiting the Grand Reunion to come.. One Fine Day..

    Deepest sympathy to you, Liz, and all who love and grieve him, both of them, so very much.

    My heartfelt condolences...

    Oh Liz, I'm so, so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful Blackie and Redbud too, and in so short a time. Nothing puts fear into me more than sudden weight loss in a furkid, and for him to loose so much in so short at time he must have been very ill. I wish I could give you a hug...It's so painful, losing a furkid, no matter their age, no matter how long a time we had with them. What a wonderful mom Schuyler and Blackie had in you, Liz, and one day you'll be together again; I know it.

    It seems these past two months have been filled with news of my friend's pet losses - and then I just see this today.

    Liz, I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss. It hurts so much and takes your breath away. Hard as we try, there just are not the right words that would comfort you enough.

    May Blackie be in peace and comfort now.
