My 20 year old puss, was given a jab and died in my arms,
The vet said as well as her fantastic age she thought Millie had a stroke 🐾🐾🐾🐾 I never knew the vet could come to your home,
She died peacefully in my arms,
I wanted to be selfish and keep her alive, I can't believe she has gone😿😿😿,
I don't know how we are going to cope,
She's been a wonderful girl, a friend, a great listener( talked back too) and kept her end to keep a secret 😉 A wonderful fur baby and such a character, There will be no point getting another because she had such a way of things and knowing when you needed a cuddle
Who will be so patient and loving when I had a flare ??? when I came home after both strokes,,,???
So many special moments together and loads of memories, Gutted 🥹🥹
😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My head is pounding and the gap in my heart is crushing me, Hubby is getting a flare back together because I feel like somethings brewing

I am so sorry to read about your beautiful fur baby, it is so devastating when we have to let them go, but take comfort that she went peacefully and didn’t suffer, sending healing thoughts and condolences.🐈🐈.
So sorry. My 2 rescue cats also share my secrets and comfort me on the worse days. Your cat was fortunate to be in a home for 20 years of love and care, so thats benefits shared from you and towards you. X
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our little furry family members bring us such a lot of comfort. To have lived 20 years is amazing and shows how much love and care she received. We had to make "the decision" about our dog last January and she died peacefully in my arms. Sometimes to love is to let go, let them be at peace , pain free, regardless of how much it hurts. Sending a 🤗
so sorry for your loss it’s heartbreaking 💔 don’t think we ever get over it , we miss them forever 💔 but you need to reassure yourself that they had an amazing life & we’re loved all their life ♥️
God bless your little girl. I will light a candle for her to see her way through to the other side. I lost my beloved cat 🐈 she was 20 years old a few years ago now. and I still miss her so much but the wonderful experience is the Memories we had together.
I offen talk to her and feel her around me.
I am sending you big hugs 🫂. your little girl knew how much you loved her 💕 and that's a lovely lifetime! experience you both met in this world and she was part of your family.
My Thoughts are with you and your family. God bless to you all. 🙏
Gosh Nipper your reply about lighting acandle to help her find her way to the other side has me in floods of tears even as I write this. Words I will never forget. X
Oh bless you. I didn't want to make you cry. I wanted to say she safe on the other side and still looking after you. When I lost my cat 🐈 I planted a beautiful small tree 🌳 in the garden she loved so much over the years. Be kind to yourself and remember her life with lots of happiness and love. Thinking of you and sending you warm hugs 🫂. Xx
I am so sorry to hear about your fur baby, it's so sad when we have to say goodbye to one of our pets, they are a member of the family and are always missed so much. You did the right thing letting her go, no more pain for her. Sending gentle hugs and condolences. 😪
I am so very sorry that you lost your beloved puss. I lost my darling Caico (westie) two years ago from cancer (12 years old) and paid for a vet to put him to sleep at home (Caico hated the vets). It was like a knife slicing my insides to shreds when it happened and I cried, and cried. I have had various people asking if I am going to get another dog but he was my furry love and somehow understood my fibromyalgia - how can I replace that horrendous hole in my heart! So I fully understand your loss. Take care
So sorry for your loss. Our fur babies are so precious and so sorely missed when they’re gone. Our Gizmo had to have the injection as she was dying from cancer and clearly in pain, though we knew it was for the best for her the grief was immeasurable 😥. All I can tell you is that hopefully in time the pain will be eased by the beautiful memories you have of the wonderful years you had 💙
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🐾🐾, I know exactly how you feel, my bichon was my best friend too, he always knew when I wasn’t well and I knew when there was something wrong with him too, we had such a bond, he was 14 1/2 when he died in my arms as his legs went and I had an hour to make a decision but I didn’t want him suffering as he was already gripping my arm with his paw and crying, I was heart broken 💔 and still having got over it, that was 3 years ago and a month later I had a slight stroke afterwards and couldn’t walk, the vets were very good and the one that always saw him when he went was there on duty,she helped at first because they had to give him an injection to calm him as he was in so much agony as his legs had locked but then had a problem getting the canular in, once in she said she couldn’t stay was already cry but found after Charlie went she left the practice as it upset her so much. Did you know that you can get their ashes, I got Charlie’s ashes back in a lovely box with a set of his footprints and a lovely card from all the vets and receptionists, I still haven’t brought myself to get another dog and our other has anxiety since we lost Charlie. I hope you remember all the good times you had, I got a photo album and got printed all the photos of him and stuck them in which I look at every now and then.they say time heals but I’m still waiting, hope you find peace and know you did the right thing, she’ll always be there with you ❤️🌹🫂xx
Reading this, has me crying. It's truly heartbreaking. I know cos had to do the same in May this yr to my little dog Lily who was 14yrs old.The pain is unbearable, I never stopped crying for about a month. I still cry most weeks cos I miss her so much. You could have been writing about my Lily with the words you wrote, I understand them so well.
I'm not gonna say it gets easier cos it doesn't, not for me atm, because they were always around us all the time. Lily knew when I had a flare up and didn't mind going for a walk she would just snuggle in.
I don't think I could ever get another dog. Lily was perfect, so good & my best friend. I couldn't go through that ever again, the letting go bit.
I hope you feel better soon, it will take time, do what you need to do to remember her by.
Hi Debs, so sorry to learn about your loss..... it's always heartbreaking when you lose a loved pet. You've been used to having her around for such a long time... she certainly had a good innings..... that's all the love and care you gave her.
A good friend of mine recently lost both of her girls( cats) within days of each other, like you, she was devastated. At first she thought nothing could replace them...... until someone asked if she'd give another long haired puss a good home.... well... she has and it's helped her tremendously. Give yourself some time and see how you feel in a couple of weeks. then decide. In the meantime, am sending big hug.
hi Debs, I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢I too have a 20 yr old cat and I feel your pain as she’s just the same never leaves my side except when I go to work. It’s a long time to have them and I bet she was a princess to you. Take care 💕x x
Dear Debs, So sorry about the loss of your beloved cat. We have only had our little rescue girl, Poppy, a year now and she has just turned sixteen, but we all love her so verymuch.
Twenty years is a long time and it must have been such a wrench to lose your special little friend. Making that decision to let her go peacefully was both right and brave and deeply loving. We had a little cat, Lucy, who died when she was twenty one. It's a long time. A huge wrench to say goodbye an longer feel the warmth of life in the little body
We have also had strays. Each cat was special somehow because they had given us their trust but it feels like your little Millie was also, in addition, deeply attuned to you and your needs. All that love stays in the heart of the Soul. That is Anam Cara. A soul friend. She will come around you in a different way if she can. I wish you many future moments when you can remember and feel the joy of the emotions and magical physical touch you shared with her. Gentle hugs. Jo xx
Hello Debs only just read your post so I am sending my deepest sympathy as they become part of our family and takes time too get over the absence they leave behind, my cat called Scruffy was i think 17years old as I recused him from someone and he was so Scruffy I stuck with the name, his back legs went and couldn’t walk so no choice too let him join all the other loved pets up in heaven, lots of xxxxxxxx
oh bless you love. So very sorry to hear you lost your baby. I empathize with you hun as I went through the same heartache myself. I just happened to see your post as I was replying to Blue_52.
My dad is dying so I’ve been absent much this last month.
I just said a special prayer for you sweetie. You take care and abundant blessings love.
Thank you everyone for your kind words and condolences,
I'm having a hard time right now,
Last night I had a dream about her sat on the bench wit me in the garden, It was lovely to see her looking so healthy🥹🥹🥹 I hope she comes to me many times?
Sorry to hear Millie is no longer here. It’s often underestimated just how much a pet, especially a long-lived pet, becomes relied upon for company and comfort in our low moments. They really are integrated into people’s lives and as such we feel their loss and absence keenly.
Grief, whatever the cause takes its own course and its own time to be experienced and can be felt, like all emotions, in the body.
So make sure to have plenty of rest while you ride the waves. Self care will be the order of the day to try and keep a fibro flare at bay. Take care 💐
