Hello friends,
I just wanted to pop in and say HI to everyone. Sorry I haven't been posting. I've been enjoying my week off and giving Alice tons of love & attention. I received confirmation yesterday that she has lymphoma. And from the looks of things she's had it for awhile, probably even before she came to me.
This morning I said goodbye to my "little one" who was the sweetest, gentlest soul I'd ever had the pleasure of caring for. I will miss her terribly. I am completely heartbroken right now.
I'm going to continue my blogging break probably through the end of the weekend.
Thanks for all of your well wishes for Alice. For a kitty that was in my life for such a short amount of time, she has touched it forever. I pray that she finds Smokey and that they can spend all day playing together.
Tracy, So sorry to hear about your loss. I am sure she is running around Kitty heaven right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the pain of losing my kitty when I was 18. I am sending big hugs to you and your family.

BIG {{HUGSSSS}}...
I am sure Alice is smiling down from heaven and saying thanks to you for taking her in and giving her lots of love! Don't worry she'll definitely look up Smokey and they'll have tons of fun playing together!
Take all the break you need and just take it easy. I'll see you next time my friend..!!

Tracy,
It brought tears to my eyes reading your post tonight. In fact I'm crying right now....maybe it's partly hormones, I don't know. I'm so sorry to hear of what you're going through. So sorry to hear that you don't have Alice with you any longer. It's amazing how these little creatures capture our hearts and fill our lives with such joy, even if they are only in our lives a short while. They add to our lives and change who we are, for the better, I think. It's hard to lose them. I hope that you can survive the next few days....they always seem to be the toughest. Big hugs to you. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!

Tracy, really sorry to hear about your Alice; a big hug sent your way; and know that while she was here; she was loved and cared by you...and that was a blessing you gave her for the blessings she gave you! Now she is at playing up a storm! God bless and help you through this!

Oh Tracy....this brought tears to my eyes. I'm sorry you are having to go through this difficult time again. Bless your heart for giving Alice a loving home for the time that she had with you. I'm sure she will rest happier knowing how much you loved & cared for her! I will pray that she finds Smokey too! You take all the time you need to heal! We'll all be here when you come back! Hugs my dear!

I'm sorry, Tracy :( Furbabies are so difficult to say goodbye to.

{Hugs} I lost my dog, Tasha, to lymphoma a few years ago, so I know what you are going through. I know that nothing but time will make you feel better. I made a scrapbook of Tash and that helped me a lot.
