Yesterday my Handsome boy passed away. I knew it was coming, he was very ill and not responding to his diabetes treatment. My vet(s) and their wonderful staff did so much to help him and make him comfortable near the end. They also knew that Handsome would lapse into a coma at any time and didn't want us (Handsome and me) to deal with that over the weekend at home. I was able to hold him through the end and afterwards until I was ready to say goodbye and leave him. I didn't know it would be this hard. He was my friend, my first "kid" with Troy! We brought him home from the Juneau Humane Society on August 30, 1995. He was just seven weeks old and could lay in the palm of my hand. Troy loved him so much! He even "snapped" his tail...a special trick I've never seen anyone else do. I know that Handsome had a great life and that I have an abundance of incredible memories with and of him. I also know that Troy and Handsome are in their special place now - together.
I'll add pictures of Handsome later. Just too much for me now.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words for you. I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Handsome. He was so special. The loss of our precious companions leaves huge holes in our hearts. My solution is to be surrounded by so many critters that still need attention, I don't have much time to dwell on it.
You've been through so much - my heart goes out to you. You're in my prayers.
Love, Aunt Jeri
