A Whispered Goodbye


Tears & goodbyes behind the Hedge today. Our much-loved family cat Miss Chloe has been battling acute leukaemia for the past month & this morning it's become very apparent that the end is very near. We have been blessed to have had her as an integral part of our family for the past 15 years, but this is so hard to accept. Keep us in your thoughts today.

    I'm so sorry. I dread the day my sweet SnowBunny leaves me. She turns 13 this month. Sent you a silly email but I did it before I read your blog. Hang in there, Heidi

    Oh, Millie. I will definately keep you in my thoughts, not only today, but for at least a couple of weeks. It's so hard to loose a pet. But I'm sure the joy she brought you in those 15 yrs was well worth this pain.
