OT Goodbye Emma

Dawne - My heartfelt sympathy to you and Emma.

A peaceful end to life is the greatest gift that we have the power to
give. However, giving the gift is one of the most difficult of things to
do.

(((((((((((Dawne)))))))))))) Emma is at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for
you. The kitties send their love and support, too. CiaoMeow ^;;^

Dawne, I'm so sorry. You're in my prayers.

I'm so sorry, Dawne. Take comfort in your many wonderful memories of
her.

Hugs, from me and Jasmine

Oh, how sad - I know how tough that must be, but please know that you
gave her the best possible life. I'm sure Emma knew nothing but care
and affection. I know how bad you miss her.
It was brave of you to hold her til the end, something some can't or
won't do. You are to be admired for that and you will be blessed.

When the pain has eased, it might help to make a donation to an animal
organization in her memory. Also, a little album of all her pictures
is nice to put together.

Thanks everybody for understanding. The clinic staff kept telling me what I
was doing for Emma, but it was all about what they do for us, isn't it??
She was the dearest gentlest soul, and loved me every minute of her life,
even when I didn't deserve it.

The vet said yesterday from the way she was breathing that the cancer had
likely invaded her lungs, and "only her big heart kept her going". She
didn't mean physically big, but big from love. Emma deserved her rest.

I found her at the Humane Society; someone had had to give her up, or,
sadder to think, let her walk away from them. I am making a donation to the
shelter in her name. Everyone give their favourite critter a little extra
love from Emma and me, and, if the opportunity arises, consider finding a
friend at the shelter. Emma cost me $27 to adopt--and what she brought was
beyond price.

Dawne -

Now you've made me cry!

My Belle is a Humane Society dog too. Someone had severely abused her
before we got her - she was afraid to walk in front of us, afraid to
go through doors, didn't know how to play and skittish beyond belief.
But when she let you pet her, she nudged and asked for more. Now,
she's happy, confident and still nudges to ask for more love. She is,
like your Emma, a great asset to my life and I already dread the day
when she will be gone. I hope that if the time comes, I am as brave
as you were.

I'm particiapting in a 5K this weekend to benefit the Humane Society -
I'll run for Emma too!

Mine has been snuggled up to me for a couple of days in that way that
allows for maximum body contact. I think she may have gotten a message
from your Emma.

My Alice kitty was pretty cuddly last night--she often napped with Emma when
Emma was able to get up into my bed, and usually washed Emma's face
beforehand. I guess I am Plan B.
