We lost a Loved Friend today.

Aurora was put to sleep today; she was over 17 years old and had really declined in health for the last month. She was one of the main reasons Pauline and I got together.

This pic is her on my desk in Sept 04 acting like she owned it just like she thought she owned everything else, as you can see she showed her respect she had for me, if she wasn’t bitching at me or sticking her tongue out at me I wouldn’t know who she was.

Not a good day here, but life will go on but I will miss her and I know Pauline will as well.

My baby is no longer suffering, but that is little comfort. I still miss our Randi and I sure didn’t want to go through it again, especially so soon.

I love you Aurora & I hope I made you happy.

Bad Monday

Monday started out ok, for a day off. We went and did our errands that we had. Things were fine until we got back home.

We came home to a few messes that Aurora had. We cleaned her up and Harold took her outside since it seemed as if she was going to get sick. It was horrible, she couldn’t stay standing and fell down. =( I’ve been crying on and off all day since.

We know that it is her age and her time, but I keep wondering if there is anything else we could do. So Harold called the vet and we are taking her in later today. If it time for her, we’ll do it on my day off Thursday. I know it is selfish, but I want a few more days.

When it was time for Randi, she had a blank stare, won’t meow, purr or give any indiction that she was with us, would move from one area to another and won’t sleep. Aurora is still meowing at us, growling when she wants to be left alone, as of Sunday, she was still looking at us when we eat for some of our meat. Not that she is eating much at all. It is a nibble here and there….occasional lick of water or cat milk that we got her.

I’m torn, I don’t want her to suffer anymore, but I don’t want to let her good yet. Like I told Harold, this sucks. =(
