I am so sorry. This is a bad week, first Smokey and now your precious
Annie. I know it was hard for you to let her go. Try to think of her
now, whole & healthy & pain-free, which she is.

I am so sorry {{{Theresa}}}}}

That's a lot of loss, and I really feel for you. Please take care of
yourself, okay?

Purrs for gentle healing.

We are all sharing your pain. Our hearts go out to you. It hurts
even though we know she won't suffer any more. Wish the outcome had
been different. Purrs for her safe and gentle journey and for your
broken hearts. Hugs.

Theresa, my heart is breaking for you while at the same time I am so
proud to know you. You made the decision to release Annie when she
asked to go rather than holding onto her for your own sake. You've
made the greatest sacrifice of love and you have our respect and purrs
and gentle headbutts. I hope that soon the pain of losing Annie is
replaced in your heart by the happier times and memories you shared
with her. I shall go right now and light a candle to help guide her
on her journey.

Julie, Hobbes, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your post brought tears to my eyes reading

Take care,

Oh Theresa, what a tough time it's been for you. Annie, and Smokey,

So very sorry to hear that Annie has gone. You made the kindest and
hardest decision to let her go. Many purrs for her and for you.
