Never before has Rest In Peace meant quite as much as it does now.

Ally has not been at Peace for quite some time.

While it is true that she started out life as a happy kitten, even before she came to the USA, she was a tormented soul. For reasons unkown, she would inflict pain to her humans (Julie, Jennie, Amanda).

Julie tolerated Ally because she loved her. But I KNOW Julie feared for her baby, Calista. What if Ally bit HER?
Jennie tolerated her because of a very strong sense of obligation. Jennie went above and beyond the call of duty to keep Ally safe. But it became apparent that Ally would never rejoin her family.
Amanda, even though she had no reason to take this job, tolerated Ally for at least a month. God bless her for trying. It could not have been an easy decision to put Ally to sleep. But maybe she helped all of us involved with a very hard decision.

I was saddened to hear she was gone, but I am going to be 100% honest.....I was also relieved. And everyone involved should be proud that the attempt was made to keep Ally happy. But as life often reminds us, we don't always win.

Amen.
