Photos ~ Farewell, Lulu

0 0

After many tears from her daddy (a.k.a. me) this afternoon Lulu was put to sleep. She grew slim over the last few months but shortly after I dropped her off for my parents to watch her while I'm away in Scotland she deteriorated. My parents were more than loving and I thank them for having her looked at but everyone agreed after the diagnosis that it was her time to go. So, despite an amazingly busy week getting ready to leave on a plane tomorrow, I headed down and back to Woodland today.

I followed my dad from their house with Lulu in her carrier in my car toward the vet. She was very low on energy not having wanted to eat in a few days but she managed to rub up against my fingers as they reached in to touch her. I think she knew and she was ready. I think she wanted me to be OK. The vet was extremely sweet and soon enough my baby was gone. My dad then took her home to lay her to rest in a great spot on their property in the sunshine. She was a California kitty originally before my sister and her husband gave her to Sarah and I. Loved fresh orange, sunshine, bananas, etc. She was a total fuss-bucket too that generally got what she wanted but certainly had a way with everyone (especially men) she met.

I love you and miss you Lulu. My sweet little girl. Rest easy. Thank you for allowing us all into your life. I hope you enjoyed it! :)
