Robin to make the decision to remove a beloved pet from our lives is one of the hardest decisions we will ever have to make. Take comfort in knowing that you shared your life for that period of time with an amazing animal. That you gave her hugs and scratches when she wanted them ,she found a loving home with you and you have given her what she was after. Letting her keep her dignity and grace as a creature of God is a blessing. They may be painful now but the good memories are what your cat would want you hold on to from the kitten playing with the Christmas ribbon to the content purrs on a rainy afternoon while sharing a good book like two old friends. I am a firm believer that animals go to heaven and just think when she get there what she'll tell God.

Kitty to God:"She did a good job."

comfort is a blanket provided by friends when the chill of life drives like nails.
