Sassy made it to the Rainbow Bridge...

[simba928]

Hi all! I haven't been on here for awhile. About a month ago we got a 9 month old puppy. Then 3 days later my cat, Sassy, was diagnosed with renal failure. I've been quite busy with the two of them and school and work and volunteer stuff...

So Monday night I gave Sassy her fluids and I knew something was wrong then. I slept out on the couch with her...or should I say tried to sleep. She wasn't feeling well at all that night. About 4 in the morning on Tuesday I woke up to her choking. I ran into my mom's room and we called the emergency vet. Unfortunately it was too late and my Sassy cat died in my arms. She was my baby and my best friend. I am so lost without her. It's so weird thinking about how bad I just want to go home after a long day and then realizing that she's not there. I went to the humane society this morning because I volunteer there. I didn't want to work in the cat room so I just did the dogs today. There are a couple cats out in the lobby and there were 2 kittens that looked exactly like Sassy. Everytime I went into the dog area I had to pass them. Then there was a kitten in the window so that when I walked the dogs I had to look at it. It looked exactly like Sassy. And there was another kitten that looked exactly like her and even kind of acted like her in one of the cages in the dog area. It was one of the hardest days I've had there trying to keep my composure. I got in my car after and looked at a picture of her I have in there and lost it. I'm just glad I got to sleep with her one more time like I've wanted to do since she got sick and she died in my arms like I've always wanted.

It's amazing how our pets become part of our family. I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry.
It's so hard to lose a family member.
I'm sure she knew just how much you loved her.

I am so sorry. I have an 18 year old tabby just diagnosed with cancer. You loved one another and she is at peace. She would want you to be too..

You poor thing. At least she went in your loving arms. There are people who will say "oh it's just an animal" but they are so much more to us. My condolences and god bless.

I'm sorry to hear about your sweet Sassy girl. Your love for her shone through in your post...

You are an angel for volunteering at the Humane Society. Tending to the homeless pets while mourning your Sassy was very difficult, but a beautiful thing to do...

Atleast she went knowing she was loved. We lost 3 pets over the summer, and its the hardest thing ever. I still cant look at white rabbits.
good luck

Simba, for sure Sassy is at the Rainbow Bridge. Many hugs. 's

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....​

Thanks everyone. You all brightened my day a little. Right now I'm watching the Steeler game for the one of the first times without Sassy. She used to sit on my bed when I watched the games and whenever they said "Touchdown Steelers!" she'd lift up her head and watch the TV. It's weird, it seems like every single thing reminds me of her. I guess after 14 years of her constantly being with me there are a lot of things that remind me of her.

I'm so sorry.

I think there is another Sassy out there looking for a great home, and Sassy will give out a big meow when you bring him/her home.
