Jasmine

We had to put our other sweet kitty,Jasmine,to sleep last Tuesday. I was not able to blog about it until now. Too,too sad. She wasn't a young cat (15years) but she always seemed like a kitten to me. It was hard enough but having just lost my Jake in November,it was too soon. She couldn't walk and couldn't control her bladder or poop. Our vet took an x-ray and felt that it was a mass in her spine that was doing this to her. Could have been cancer or not but the fact is that it affected her nerves and made her life miserable. So, we had to make the kindest decision and say good-bye. I felt that she was missing Jake an awful lot too. So, they're together at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for me and Joe.

They always cuddled with each other.
Rest in Peace,both of you.

An End

We said good-bye to our sweet Jake on Monday. The cancer in his lungs took over and breathing was so difficult for him. I still can't believe that he isn't here with me. Jasmine, our other kittie is looking for him everywhere.

This journey that I'm on will be very different without my little buddy~~~hopefully, healing will take place and I'll be able to smile thinking about the wonderful years that I had with my constant companion.

THANK YOU

Thanks to all who have commented about Jake. Your words hold me up during this trying time. An update----he's still hanging in. Still eating, though I can see his appetite isn't quite the same.His quality of life is still o.k. He has good days and bad days. I'm grateful to God for giving me a little extra time with Jake. I'll take whatever I can get.

I should mention that we have another sweet kitty too. Her name is Jasmine and right now she's been very understanding about not being our main focus.

This is our girl Jasmine.

Taking a break

I'll be taking a short break from blogging. I know it's been awhile since I've written anything. My sweet cat Jake was just diagnosed with lung cancer. His veterinarian tells us that there is nothing to be done for him because of his age. He's been my companion for 17 1/2 years and I have to admit this has got me down. I'm trying to spend as much time with him as I can until we have to say our final good-bye. Just writing about this brings me to tears. He's such a good kitty and I love him so much that I'm not sure how to make the final decision. He's still eating,drinking, grooming and being his cuddly self. I can hear him wheezing when he breathes but I don't think he's in any pain yet. I pray that God will guide me to do right by Jake and let him go at the right time. I want him to stay with me but I don't want him to suffer either. Here are some pictures of my sweetie.

He's a fan of do it yourself shows. And he always watches "Ghost Hunters" with me.

Isn't this just the sweetest face?

He likes to stop and smell the flowers.....
