Hi all, We lost our first kid today (Saturday), our little Katy :o( She had, had some pretty serious surgery back in July for the removal of two huge liver tumours. About a month ago i found they had returned, because of the speed they had come back - the vet and i decided it wasn`t really an option to re-operate. I was assured she was not in and pain or discomfort, so we brought her home. She`d been doing really well and we were hoping to have her for a while longer. Tonight i went into their pen to clean out trays and stuff and found her lying on the floor. I knew this was going to happen, but i wasn`t prepared for it. I`m having trouble right now, seeing what i`m doing. Katy had a very sad life in the beginning, we adopted her about two years ago from a shelter. She was sent there by a vet, who had said she was a cruelty case. We think she was blind in one eye and her back legs gave way every so often when she walked - BUT she was the sweetest little girl in the whole world. She was the first one to offer kisses and was EVERYONES favourite, because of her gentleness. We`ve just got in from burying her, in a nice spot in the garden. It was sooo sad to see my young son, who insisted on digging the grave for her - tears streaked down his face. It made the moment even more profound. Please pray that Katy finds the rainbow bridge, my son is pretty adamant he`ll meet her there. If anyone wants to see Katy, please take a look at my website, URL at the bottom of my signature. Katy we love you and miss you :*o( Jane, Harvey, Casper, Phoebe, Emil, Dylan, Annie, Clara & Dot *Missing Katy* ^. .^ * http://www.odell67.freeserve.co.uk [Posted in FML issue 2879]
