Sandee, My baby girl, Grandma Jo, was helped to the Bridge today. She crashed severely from insulinoma while we were out of town for the holidays. After discussing options with our vet, we agreed it was best to stop her suffering. She was around 8 or 9 years old, but she only spent the last year and a half of her life with me. I can only hope that she knows how much I love her, and how much I'll miss her. She should be meeting Bear Ryan, and also Bandit Rose (whom I did not post about her passing as we had no Internet access) at the Bridge, along with a large group of other critters consisting of everything from cats to snakes to rabbits. Please help her to find the Tone and a snuggly sack. Meemaw, I love you, Sweetface. I'll miss your pretty eyes, and your elbow kisses. Smokey and I are going to have a hard time being without our Wise Old Owl, but I believe in my heart that you're better off now. Modern medicine can only do so much, and, while I hated making the decision, I did it because I love you, and didn't want you to suffer. Tell Bear and Bandit that I love them and I miss them. I'll see you all again someday, don't worry. Just have fun, enjoy being happy, healthy, and whole again, and remember that I'll always love you. *Kisses* Ellen and Crew...missing Grandma Jo [Posted in FML issue 4018]
