So sad today.

After I posted my Good Morning message I discovered my eldest cat had passed.  She was diabetic and although not old, just shy of 9yrs she lived longer than the Vet projected.  So today has been one of a lot of tears.  I actually had a Vet appt setup for Thursday so I wasn't surprised, but yet I was.

Her baby sister is so distraught as I am, but I just feel so helpless in consoling her as she is just lost.  They were so close and she is not a typical independent cat.  When I went out today to take care of disposing her sister properly as I was walking out the door she sank her teeth into my jeans to pull me back.  Heartbreaking to get her off.  When I came home it was like she never moved from the same spot.  For an hour or so after she laid on me and meowed continuously.

I am sure tonight will be long.  I'm okay as I have been through this and know how to grieve, in my way.  It's just so hard though trying to comfort my other little girl as this is a first for her and she can't tell me what she needs/wants.

I never got my coffee............................

I am heartbroken for you Harley. Loss of a dear pet is just as bad as the loss of a family member. They ARE family.
It's never an easy thing to go thru and only time will ease the pain and sorrow.
I totally understand how your other kitty is grieving her also. About a yr. ago I lost my 15 yr. old pup and my younger one STILL misses her. Every time I take the pups outside, she walks over to the end of my deck where I buried my baby and looks down at her grave. It's so sad to watch. Animals are not stupid and have feelings too.

Tonight I shall say a prayer for you and kitty.

Stay strong sista.

Good Morning IOP....



Coffee's hot... Me not so much... Sure was great to see our Cricket made it through all that rain and floodin down yonder... It's still bad in some places!

Morning Willie... Rev... I just love to see folks here in ye ole cafe'...

Let me say... I still ain't smokin (cigs at least )... Ain't missin those killers either... I think THEY should be a sch 1 ... Known to be abused and no reddeeming factors! But they will slowly "choke" the life outta ya...

Well I may be "preachin to the choir" on that subject...

Hey I see Roses5555 popped through yesterday... I do hope she's ok and I haven't noticed Roses hasn't been around...

Hi Fire... Always good to see you pop in! I hope all that "drama" slows to a crawl.... Young girls can be quite the handful, to say the least!!

Okie dokie... Been spoutin my mouth off way too much this early...

Remember to love one another today and smile... It may be your time to shine...

I feel so bad for all that have been effected in this terrible flooding down here. When you've been thru storms like Katrina and been flooded out, you know what those poor people are goin' thru. It's no fun at all.

I count my blessings that I had no problems this time. Luckily I'm not near any of the rivers that have been causing this mess. I'm on the west side of Slidell on the lake. Water got high, but not enough to cause any problems at all.
All the bad weather and flooding here in Louisiana remind me of the song Louisiana by Randy Newman. They ARE tryin' to wash us away.

Hurricanes, oil spills, floods. What will they throw at us next? Cajun Zombies? LOL
