today we said goodbye to two of our seniors, libby and wonder. I found them only a few weeks old on our property and bottle fed them all. both these kitties didn't have easy lives, libby had liver failure as a baby that affected her for a very long time, coupled with being a life long epileptic requiring double daily dosages of pills, it couldn't have been easy for her.
wonder was always an extremely shy and nervous cat, coupled with being diabetic. it is with great sadness that we said good bye to both today, they arrived on the same day and they departed the same day...
wonders brother ponder died years, I still have one kitten left from this basket. they always bring us great joy, but I buckle over with tears when they pass. These two never had carefree healthy lives, its almost a sigh of relief that they will forever be pain free again. I still have one 16 year old diabetic cat left, I can't imagine what life will be like not administrating medication on a daily basis, my 3 patients were always a formidable part of our lives from morning to night...

because I am so saddened losing two I am sharing a wee bit of beauty that helped me get through the day...
our vet came in early for us, as a thank you for such a difficult day I made the first cut bouquet from my rose garden for them.
it steadied my nerves selecting the prettiest blooms I could find
we have always buried our pets at home, I always have pretty boxes ready so I am never in searching for them when I need them
it was extra heartbreaking seeing two...
I have been burying pets for decades, always to my greatest relief I have never once not had fresh rose petals to cushion their beds. the first vet that saw this 35 years ago choked up. even in the dead of winter my old house had petals to spare, it just gives me comfort sending them off on a bed roses...
