    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.

    Dear Liz, I'm so sorry for your loss of Blackie. He was probably missing Redbud, but now they are together again and free of pain. It's hard on you and I send you love and big (((hugs))))

    Rest in peace, sweet Blackie, and then go find Redbud.

    Take care, Liz!


    If I can help you with pictures, let me know.

    I'm really sorry to hear about Blackie, Liz. It does indeed sound like he was declining and you did the right thing letting him go.

    RIP, sweetheart.
