died a few days ago...i had her just shy of 18 years, since feb 1993...i still find it amazing how shortly after she was born, they gave her no more than five years to live because of her heart murmur...so every year past then was a gift...until she started getting old the last two years...then she stopped grooming herself and licking her paws to keep my floors clear of litter...she drooled alot too, plus she would barf all the time and it wasn't like you could see it-it was the clear pure slobber kind so you'd have to open all the lights every morning before walking around to make sure you didn't step in it...what a blessing she is as brian would always say...we're so lucky to have her..
...so i'm obviously very tender and raw lately, although i'm not as bad as i'd thought i'd be, but its funny how a ball of fur can really tug at your heart strings...thinking of her and all the years we went through together brings me back to all the stages of my life...its a time of reflection...
the vet asked me if i wanted to watch him put peaches down and if i wanted to take home the ashes (?) ... i'm not that fanatical...
rest in peace peachy
