I am so very sorry. Rusty was very beautiful, and you and she shared a wonderful love that will go on always. All your pictures and your writings about her are fascinating and deeply touching. Thank you for sharing so much of her with us.
Rest in peace, lovely Dusty.
Pat, with LES
Our thoughts are with you. We know you will miss Dusty, but we know you loved her with all your heart & soul and she felt that everyday she was with you.
Another cat angel spirit to watch over all PT kitties who need her help & comfort.

I know how much you love Dusty. Dusty was one of my favorite PT kitties.
Rip sweet Dusty. You will be much missed...
Watch over your meowmie and make sure her heart doesnt hurt like this forever.
I fear for the days when I have to go through this with my cats, esp. My heart kitties Hannah and Puff. I dont know if I could take it.
I am so very sorry, reading that I could feel some of the pain you are in and it just broke my heart for you. My own cat is 14 and I know sooner than later her time will come. My prayers and my thoughts are with you, she is safe and healthy and no longer in any pain or discomfort. Thank you for sharing those wonderful pics of her, she is beautiful!!!
I saw the lady who held Dusty for me when she was PTS. She said Dusty seemed to know what was going on and did talk to them quite a bit, but that Dusty did NOT struggle (which she always did for any other procedure we've ever had done on her). She said Dusty went quietly and the lady kissed and hugged her and talked to her, while crying herself, the whole time.
I was glad to hear that Dusty seemed 'ready' as I had feared maybe I decided 'too soon', which from what I"ve read many other owners also feel guilt over that. I guess the timing was about right for Dusty to have been ready.
Anyways, the point of my post is that the lady got Dusty the most beautiful urn for her ashes. I wanted to post a pix of it so you could see how lovely it is and the thoughtfullness she had in picking it out.

So sorry to hear about your loss...I know excatly how you feel... :(
I am so glad to know that Dusty knew it was time, and was ready to go. I hope that that does give you a small amount of comfort. Guilt is absoutely a feeling you get, but the love you feel for our companions outweighs that. ...
It is a gesture of love, and the loyalty between you.
What a very sweet and special girl. I love the urn, and it is perfect for Dusty. She will shine through it.... :(
The urn is absolutely beautiful. What a thoughtful, and caring person she must be. You are so very fortunate, and so was Dusty, to have a friend like that. I hope I never have to make the very difficult decision for my Squeak, as I know I would feel the guilt you speak of. How sweet it was of Dusty to let them know she was ready. I still think of the two of you often, and hope you are doing better. I know from Ellie's passing, it takes time.
I am so sorry and you will be in my prayers.
What a gorgeous urn!! Dusty would be VERY proud. I'm so sorry for your loss.
