In Loving Memory
of
Chrissie
Lori's beloved girl
Died October 16th 2007 aged 19 1/2 yrs
dx cancer September 25th '07
I have been far more active on the Feline Cancer list here on
Yahoo, but as I have posted here as well, I wanted to give my final
update. My Chrissie, who was 19 and a half wonderful years old, lost
her battle with cancer today. She was diagnosed on 9/25, and her
final illness was the ONLY illness she was to have during a very
long, healthy and adventurous life. The cancer took her relatively
quickly, which while shocking for me, was a blessing for her as she
did not have to suffer through a drawn-out ordeal or lose her
dignity. She never lost control of her bodily functions and as a
matter of fact, when I left her to go to work this morning, she was
eating on her own and looking better than she had in awhile.
When I came home from work, I found her laying peacefully on
her side. I knew the second I saw her she was gone, but I am able to
take comfort in the fact that she did not appear to suffer (and the
vet did not think so either, when I took her body there for its
final disposition - he thinks she probably had a heart attack and
went very quickly).
Chrissie gave me two final gifts before she left this world.
She stayed with me on my birthday which was this past Friday,
October 19. And she passed away peacefully, when it was truly her
time, on her own, sparing me the heartbreaking decision of when to
euthanize.
Thank you so much for being here for us. Your love and support
helped a great deal. I wish you all the best of luck with your
beloved companions.
Lori, Poopy (cat), and Angel Chrissie
