Tessa

A few weeks ago I took Tessa to the vet because she just wasn't acting like her normal self. He couldn't really tell me what was wrong, but he gave her a shot of antibiotics, b12, and a steroid. She started acting a little better, but last Thursday and Friday, she just went downhill. Kidney failure. I made the heartbreaking decision on Friday to have her put down. I've had a couple of days to adjust, and feel I made the only decision I could, but the guilt still weighs heavily on me. She was just six years old, and my sweet baby girl. She could always be found next to me whether I be knitting, sitting on the computer, sleeping, or any number of places. She always greeted me when I came home and on occasion I think she missed me more than my own children some days. Her passing leaves a huge bruise on my heart that will take a long time to heal. I will miss her always for she gave me love every day without ever expecting anything in return. She was my friend, my family, my boo.
Until we meet again....I love you.
RIP
Tessa My Baby Girl

Colleen, I am so, so very sorry about your sweet Tessa. I know how hard it is to have to make that decision. My hubby got a little grey and white kitten for me right after we were married. She was with us for 17 years and she was my best friend through thick and thin.....it was so hard when it came time to let her go. Like your Tessa, her kidneys failed. I know your heartache and your pain.(((((HUGS)))) to you. Please know that you made the right decision and do not feel guilty as she is not suffering or sick any longer. The hardest part of loving our pets is letting them go!!

Good thing I'm on my lunch hour, cause the tears are flowing.....I need to find some kleenex......

My thoughts are with you my friend......
