Feline Celebration of Life

It's been a sad few weeks, but things are going to be better. Dorah's been set on the rainbow bridge to join Buster and Sadie.
Hubby bought me flowers for my support.
As one FB friend said, Dorah is joining the other cats,  chasing butterflies on the other side. We put her down Tuesday, Nov. 7th at 5 p.m.  We worked so hard with her. I didn't realize how many photos featured both Daisy and Dorah. Lately, she spent most of her time alone in the basement. Hubby would go down and read to keep her company.

Quality of life is important, for all of us.
The veterinary staff were amazing. They talked us through it all, helping us assure we'd made the right decision.

I contacted an animal psychic, who assured us Dorah understood. What the heck. Comforting words all around.

I am very sorry.

Loosing a pet can get the owner into a depressive state; that's the big danger of getting attached to a pet. I've seen it recently happen to a neigbour who lived alone. After her puppy died she almost died too. Got herself buried in bed with scarcely any food. It lasted some two months. It was her brother that took matters in his hands, and saved her. He then opposed to her having any new pet.
That's probably an extreme case, but there are issues with pets; it's not all joy and pleasure.

Awww ... I'm sorry about that. She seemed to be such good friends with Daisy and those are great pics. You always did your best for her.

Dorah was well loved and had a good life with both of you. That's something to celebrate for sure. - Margy

It's really hard to let these little guys go.

It is always so sad to lose a furry famiky member. We were just at vet with daughter who was having her cat checked over and another lady had just made the hard decision you made and had her dog put down. I cried with her, and I didn’t even know her. Tears rolling down my face as I type this. Dorah will always be in your heart.
