Donna what a wonderful story and tribute to a beautiful baby. Excuse me while I dry my tears.......
Your story reminds me a little of Cleo. A feral tortie girl who crossed my path several years back. She would come and eat and often stay in the dog house I provided for her.....but I was never able to touch her....she would run away.
The winter we were having that year was cold and snowy. I came home one afternoon from work to find that she had moved from her front dog house to Tucker's which was inside our breezeway. I peaked in on her to find her barely moving and her eyes shut. Mark helped me move her into a carrier so I could bring her to the vet's. That was the first time I ever had to make "the decision" and it was the hardest one in my entire life. Dr. McLaughlin said that I had done all that I could for her...I held Cleo for the first time ever....as she drifted off and over the bridge. I wish she would have been able to trust a little more....I often wonder what her outcome would have been.
Your Marina Mar and Miss Cleo are playing hard and waiting for us. (((HUGS))) Meg
