"I'm sorry you can't come with me Lynn."

| Jan. 8, 2013 to Nov. 4, 2026 |
It is beyond my imagination that I would write about the loss of Precious.
She hadn't quite gotten to 15 years old yet, not until late Nov.
We were going to celebrate our birthdays together again as we have for 13 years.
This horrible thing growing in her so fast has ended her life. Cancer? Doesn't matter
what it is called. It has consumed her like a parasite.
I realized in late Sept. that Precious was not as eager for her dry food and ate just a
little bit less. Since she was scheduled for her check up Oct 29, I thought she might
lose a bit of weight that she gained since her iodine 10 months ago. But by the
weekend of Oct. 10, she refused all food. We were able to get her into the vet's office
Monday Oct. 12 for blood work and an Xray. The Xray said it all.
We have enjoyed all of you visiting us for 7 years. Just as we hit this Blogoversary,
she was quickly leaving me behind.
We made the last trip to the vet and she fell asleep in my arms. No more 3 hour
leg time for us.
Precious did not want to blog about her health and I agreed. She wanted people to
remember her in her grey onesie and sweet as ever.
Sincerely
Lynn and always my precious Precious

ReplyDeleteDear Lynn
ReplyDeleteI was so very sorry to read that Precious had passed.
Very thankful that she was in your loving arms.
Mr. Webster defines Precious as an adjective:
1. valuable
2. beloved
3.affectedly refined.
Her name defined her. Precious was a valuable, beloved friend whose presence was affectedly refined.
We will miss your boss Grey Lady.
Warm hugs and love
Cecilia
This is shocking to me. I usually check the Cat Blogosphere site first of all the blogs I look at each day, and I saw the notice about Precious. I couldn't believe it. I do know how fast cancer can take a cat, but this was startling. I understand your reluctance to blog about Precious's health. She will always be remembered in the Cosy Cabin as a happy and loving girlcat, beautiful and smart. Godspeed, Precious, and God bless those you leave behind.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read this ! She had all the love and care you could give. We will hug our own gray boy - Alexander, who turned 16 in September - extra tight tonight.
ReplyDeleteDearest Lynn,
ReplyDeletePrecious may be gone from sight, but not from love. The years you shared together became part of each other, and nothing can take that away. May happy memories of your beautiful girl bring comfort until the sadness softens and the smiles return. ❤️
In Jo Jo's words - Precious has simply moved to a bigger patch of sunshine. She's already supervising the angels, demanding treats, and telling everyone exactly how things ought to be done. Until you meet again, may your memories wrap around you like a warm purr.
With Love, Head Bonks and Whisker Kisses Marvelous, Jo Jo, Nutmeg and Mom Barb ❤️❤️
Oh no ~ Precious you were named appropriately and shall be missed every moment ~ so hard to lose our fur babies ~ Hugs to you Mom and Lynn ~ ''Keep calm and carry on.''

My eyes are leaky. Precious was just that, most precious.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read about Precious becoming an angel. It's so hard when we have to say these kinds of goodbyes. May all the wonderful memories you made over the years say as sweet to you now as they were when Precious was still with you.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love and hugs at this difficult time.
🥰 ❤️ 🌈 ❤️ 🥰
PS: I have made a memento for you, but I do not have your email address, so I don't have any way to send it to you, bt it will be on our blog on Sunday and you may snag it from there and feel free to use it any way you wish. If you message me here: ingrid AT rickmar DOT net I can send it to you directly.
The pain you experience after the loss of a loved one is equal to the love you had for them. The more you love, the worse the pain. Losing a pet can be worse than losing a child or parent. Pets are your constant. They are always home with you, they greet you, they are the door, they depend on you. When they are gone it is devastating. We hope you can come through your grief soon
