Doncee Is Gone, My cat passed away on 9/15 Options

[weddingdance]

She was such a good girl. She was 10 years old, and had a heart murmur. She'd been on medication, but still, as the vet predicted, a blood clot went to her hips, paralyzing her and cutting off circulation. Within 30 minutes of finding her at breakfast-time on Thursday, she was gone.

I still have to make myself only get *two* food bowls instead of three. And call out for only *two* kitties instead of the song that had all three of their names. And to see her empty bed from outside, when it always had her little head in it, was so sad.

DH said he was going to try to learn to flip eggs like at the nationality restaurant, and I said, "Doncee will LOVE that" because she loved eggs so much. I forgot...

I have some guilt, but I'm doing a lot of grieving, 'by the book'. Being kind to myself and DH and the other kitties and poochie. Eating well, but indulging in Oreos. Getting HUGE amounts of rest. And we'll be volunteering at the HSUS in Gaithersburg, MD. We had planned on it before Doncee passed away, and now will do it in her memory.

I saw in my mind's eye when I prayed for her that she was bounding into Heaven, and Jesus was there waiting for her. She hadn't 'bounded' in a very long time, being sick.

I pray for her and for us, and for all of you too.
