Goodbye To Munchkin Options

[featherz]

I just put my kitty munchkin to sleep.. I feel guilty (doesn't everyone?) because she was still eating and alert, but I could tell the end was approaching. She had multiple medical problems and has been incontinent for about 5 years and wore a diaper. She was emaciated and had eye ulcers that medication were not helping. Everyday I woke up and thought that that this cat is NOT enjoying life except for mealtime.. And she was getting worse although her appet*ite was still hanging in there.

I discussed it with my husband and we decided to let her go. The euthanasia was very very well done, she just went to sleep on her favorite blankie in a nice room with murals, not on a cold exam table. I still feel awful, but I didn't want her to die in agony like another of our cats did when we waited too long out of hope she'd improve.

/sniff.. Goodbye little kitty, we miss you already..

Whatever we do with our loved pet loves, they know and trust that the decisions we make for them are made out of love. I hope and pray I never have to make a decision to put one of my babies to sleep. That had to be very hard on you.

Remember the great and happy memories you and munchkin shared together. Hold them in your heart and bask in the beauty of your relationship with her.

As you find yourself grieving and missing little munchkin may you be blessed with the comfort and peace you seek.

The precious memories I have of my Goliath will stay in my mind and heart forever. He taught me so many of lifes lessons of love while he was here and after he passed away he continued to make a difference in who I am today. His love touches me so deeply every single day of my life and I am richer in spirit and my faith because of it. Our hearts were joined together forever the moment we met. One day he and I will meet again and spend eternity together.

May you find a calm and peacefulness in your heart as you begin your way in coping with the passing of your beloved munchkin. You too will grow in a way you never thought imaginable. As you cherish your little munchkin's memories and keep her close to your heart, she will be all around you in spirit for the rest of your life until you and she also meet again.

Peace, love, and comfort from the bottom of my heart is what I send you this day.
