We buried Luna today. She was so sick, she seemed to stabilize with the problem of liver failure but liver cancer filled her abdomen and she developed labored breathing. So sad to lose her but the comfort is in knowing that she had more hands-on loving in her last two months than in all the years she lived with us. Her struggle is over now, hopefully she has moved on to something sweeter.

So sorry Sue. Luna had a wonderful life with you and Miguel. Hugs.
I am so sorry Sue, I have been following her progress and I was hopeful. She had wonderful end of life care with a lot of love from you and Miguel.
Hugs.
My condolences too, it's always hard. She had a good life with you two and she knew she was loved. Even so, letting them go is so difficult. Hugs.
Jan - we were hopeful too, she definitely had good days when she enjoyed a little stroll in the grass and a claw-sharpening on a piece of cardboard. But she tried to roll in the sand, and on her last night here, on the couch - and couldn't, due to her huge abdomen and the difficulty breathing. It was sad to see her want to return to normal life and not be able to do so.
Thanks Beck and Jonna - she probably felt more loved during her illness because she was kept home and due to force-feedings, she had lots of handling, stroking, and gentle words. I don't regret any of the time I spent trying to get her better.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your furbaby, Luna. I really enjoyed reading about her when she was well.
My sincere condolences.
Poor baby .. I'm feeling really sad right now. At least she is no longer suffering and is in heaven.
So sorry Sue - I have been without a computer for a few days and just saw this. You gave her so much love, it is difficult to say goodbye but you and Miguel gave her the best life possible.
