Katie has taken a turn for the worse.

I've come back to this thread six times, my heart is breaking for you and sweet little Katie, she will always remain with you in your heart.

Godspeed Katie.



Remember Our Love

I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

I am so sorry...

Lorraine,
I am so so sorry to hear about Katie. I was praying she would recover and you would have her back with you to love for many more years to come. My heart is breaking for you. I am just too sad over this. I don't know what to say other than I am thinking about you and I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you all so very much.
My Katie, Katie Pretty Lady is at peace now.

I held her in my arms while the final injection was being given, talking to her and what do I hear playing, the lullabye song, "Go To Sleep My Little One." I asked the vet if they play that song just for this occassion and he said, "No, that it was a coincidence that it was playing on the radio. It brought comfort to me.

Then while we were driving home, a tabby cat just like my Katie girl, went running across the street. What does my hubby come out with, "There goes our Katie running to the Rainbow Bridge." Well, you can imagine how that just did me in.

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

Thank you all again.

I like that thought. Hugs.


RIP Katie

Oh (((((((Lorraine)))))))))

That comment your hubby made let the tears flow here...

I'm so very very sorry that it ended this way, but like you have said, she's at peace now, and without pain and suffering.

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.

This is so touching. It is so, so sad to have to say goodbye, dear Katie. Lorraine, my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. LES here, too....

Play hard at the Rainbow Bridge, little Katie Girl; rest easy knowing your meowmie loves you very much and will never forget you.

I'm so sorry, Lorraine. We all share your grief and pain. If you need us, we're here for you.

[CalliesMom]

Your husband comment was very sweet. Play hard at the RB, Katie.

Again, I'm so heartbroken over your loss. I honestly did not expect this to happen.

[christa]

I am so sorry about Katie. I know how hard it is to loose a beloved pet, a part of the family. Hang in there and it will get better with time. At least you know that she's not suffering anymore.
