Saturday

I knew that Dallas had not been feeling well so I had planned to take her to the vet sometime during the week.  When I woke up Tuesday morning I found 2 places where she had thrown up blood.  It really threw me.  I rushed her to Dr B and he said there was a mass in her intestines.  It wasn't there a few months ago when he checked her out.  He said that it was her time.  It was really hard.  I stayed with her until she had passed.  I was crying and Dr B was trying to hold back the tears.

I had Dallas cremated the same as I did Ashley.  If you click here you can see what their "urns" look like.  I have Ashley in the sitting one and Dallas in the one laying down.  (this isn't the real ones, just a picture I found on the net.)

Sadie poor baby, she misses Dallas.  She hasn't eatten as well the past few days and just seems lost somehow.  I thought that maybe I should go ahead and get her a new buddy.  So yesterday I got a kitten from the local animal shelter.  The kitten is almost all black and looks a lot like Sadie.  She is approx 2 months old.  I have named her Sophie.

Right now Sadie doesn't care for Sophie.  She doesn't want to be around her and if she is she is hissing and meowing and chasing little Sophie.  Hopefully this won't last long.  I can't take it if it does.

On the lighter side.......my birthday is coming up soon.  I am going to be old.  Well not old but middle aged.  I sure don't feel my age on most days.

Sadie will come around. She is just grieving too. I think ou did the best thing by getting her a companion.

Aw...those urns are a sweet way to maintain the remains. I'm glad you have found a way to honor such important characters in your life. And, I'm hoping Sophie can help you too. :-) ---Robbie
