    My condolences

    When I feel up to it, I will make a proper memorial for my sweet girl.

    Thank you all again.
    This is a rough time, isn't it? It really sucks.

    If I can offer you anything at all, it might be that you were there with Katie, to give her company and stand with her as she drew her last breath and then relaxed and went on ahead of all of us. That's pretty important.

    I couldn't be there for that final moment with my Ingrid because it was not until the surgeon had a look inside Ingrid's belly that we realized how bad the trouble Ingrid had actually was. I feel like a rat because I couldn't be there then--not that I would want the memory of seeing the procedure--and also because the last hours Ingrid had there before they operated to try and save her were frightening for her. She hated vets.

    So I wish I could have been there to hold her as she died.

    When the time tells you it is right, you'll find a fitting way to make a memorial to Katie. It doesn't have to be in a rush. Ingrid lies in a place she picked out herself--the only place I ever saw her lie down in the grass in her whole life--and I raised the soil level there with some timbers, and now ornamental grasses and ferns grow in that planter box, while Ingrid sleeps below. The squirrels in my trees have really enjoyed tucking pecans into the soft dirt they've found there. That's fine because Ingrid always really admired squirrels. ;<)

    I have a 5-watt night light in the back window for Ingrid, too. So she can find her way home. I'll keep that light there at least until the bulb burns out.

    You have other animal friends, right? They need reassurance, too. Ingrid had a little brother who was a rabbit a few years back, and after Louie passed away, Ingrid mourned him. She knew what had happened.

    I'm still waiting for the sign that Ingrid is okay. I will recognize it when I see it. It may be very subtle, but it will be powerful and I will be glad.

    Maybe you have already seen the same sort of sign for Katie? If not, just keep your eyes open. It will come.

    The tears are flowing, and my heart is broken for you and little Katie. I am so very sorry that yo had to make this decision, but I know that she is now at peace, and playing at the RB.

    Your husbands comment about her running to the bridge was what made the tears welling in my eyes spill over.

    I know youmust be hurting at this time.

    God bless you and your family.

    Lorraine, I am sooo sorry. I haven't been around much this weekend and I am so sorry to hear of this. Katie and you have been in my prayers all day and I just read this. There are no words to tell you how badly I feel! I pray that your sweet Katie is well and happy at the RB and pray that God gives your strength to get through this most difficult time! It is so hard to type through the tears, I am so sorry!


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    RIP Katie girl

    ((((((((((((((Lorainne)))))))))))))) I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

    I am crying right now....knowing how much you loved her furry face and how much you will miss her. It was her time to leave this world, and she is now resting easy with all of her PT friends.

    I'm so very sad to see this about Katie...I was hoping that she would pull through. I never know what to say in times like these...please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know Katie will be very dearly missed, but you did everything you could for her. Godspeed to the Rainbow Bridge, Katie...
    **hugs**
