Cleo...

You guys keep making me cry again :happycry: Thank you, Jo. I knew it was a part of the dementia, but I hadn't realized it was an echo-location type of behavior. Her hearing and eyesight were definitely going, and that makes sense the way she wandered around toward the end...

I just finished making this for her, which it's taken me a while to work up to. I can handle the photos a little better now, but the videos... ouch. I'm still glad I have them though, for when I'm ready.

Well Sheree I don't know if the echo location thing is a proven fact but it was what my vet said, he'd never steered me wrong and like you, it made perfect sense to me considering how Puss was acting near her end.

I love the pictorial tribute hon, you did a beautiful job of it. :)

I think its part echo location perhaps, but also just crying out in confusion... she always quieted down when she was sure I was right there or petting her. I think maybe she'd get disoriented and cry out as much for human assistance as to see what she sounded like in a particular place.

And thank you. :happycry: I hope it does her justice.

Sheree,

Sorry I missed this!! I haven't been online as often and I didn't catch that you had to say goodbye to Cleo.

It's still hard reading of Cleo, even tho' Stripe has been gone now for two years. Tears are running down my cheeks and my heart bleeds for you!!! It's just amazing how much these creatures love and care for us and help us in our lives. Know that my heartfelt prayers and sympathies are with you.:tears::tears:


:hug: :hug: :hug:

*hugs RuLyn* Thank you so much, hon... sorry it took me so long to respond, its still hard to ... well, anything in regards to Cleo. I still don't know how I made that graphic, I can't really bring myself to look at it much yet.
