This has not been a good year for the Lewis Family pets! Our 16 year old cat BC passed away quite unexpectedly December 2. I took her to the vet to have her nails trimmed and she got extremely stressed on the table. We thought she would calm down when we got her home but she kept getting more and more agitated. When we had been home less than an hour she was no longer able to walk. George & I rushed her back to our vet where her distress continued eventually causing her death. From time of the nail trim to her death was about 1 hour 15 minutes. So shocking! The doctor's best guess is that she had clots in her heart and when her blood pressure went up, one left her heart and lodged near her femoral artery causing paralysis.
We've all been wondering if BC & Cirera are living happily together in heaven. BC didn't like the dog at all here on earth but if the 'lamb and the lion can lie down together' surely one cat and one dog can live together in peace!
George & I realized that this is the first time since spring of 1976 that our home hasn't had a pet! The end of an era.
Oh, Marilyn. I'm so sorry! May your hearts heal soon. It doesn't have to be the end of an era. Just continue the era with another pet. There's lots out there who are waiting for a good home...especially this time of year. BC & Cirera are probably hamming it up together in the next world having a great ol' time together...playing the 'do you remember when' game and being happy for the love you gave them. Loves to you and George.
ReplyDeleteI think BC was very shy, in all the years I've known you I only saw her once. I'm so sorry she is gone. You have had a year of trials, but through them all you have been a happy and supportive friend to me. You are wonderful! THANKS!
