My Shining Stars!

Two more shiny stars in the sky at night. We Love you girls!


Storm aka "Stormers"
April 13, 1998- April 8, 2008



Electra aka "Panther"
Sept. 1, 1994- April 8, 2008

I definitely want to Thank you all for all the warm thoughts, the prayers & especially the Hugs! I'm just about to bust loose finally, did manage well all day so far, but now the clean up at home I'm finding alittle hard. Lady is napping for now and I'm not sure how she's really doing. I know she didn't want to leave the vets office. We did get her outside and literally had to pick her up to put her in the car. We stopped and got a couple new squeaker toys...yea, she'll chew them up enough to get the squeakers out, but I know she loves those things, they really are her favorite.

Will say its awfully quiet around here, but so far we are all doing okay. Hanging in the best we can!!

Oh, Mary... I shed a few tears with you, I have been thinking of you today. Sure wish I could do more than send love over the computer.... hang in there! Hugs for all of you!!

Monica said...

I'm so sorry to hear that Mary. Our thoughts are with you in your difficult time. It is never desired to have to say goodbye to a family member, much less two. I'm glad they both lived long happy lives with you.

I cannot fathom losing two of my "babies" at once. I still miss Scraps, who died 2 years ago, and now we have no animals because we travel to see our kids, and I always took our animal at that time!

Our first cat, Scratch, lived to be 18, and he was as much a baby to us as our children since he grew up with them! The last 6 months of his life, I poached chicken, and fed him when he'd eat some and the broth, and took him for fluids once a month. He was in no pain, and then one day, well You just know! I miss him so much...he died 8 years ago!!

I'm thinking of you! Your babies were beautiful!

Snowbird said...

I am so sorry for your loss of Stormers and Panther. My Big Boo is 14 years old and is a diabetic and takes insulin twice a day. We are happy for every day with him. My Little Boo looks like your Panther. God takes care of his furry ones too! I firmly believe that! I want to personally thank you for posting ASPCA on your blog and being a supporter of rescues! I hope there will be some rescues or animals that need a loving environment that you can share your home with in the future.

Criquette said...

I am so very, very sorry you have had to do this, but it reflects just how deep your love for these precious fur-babies is. It's never easy, even when you know it's the right hing to do. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Melissa said...

Mary, I am so sorry that I am late on posting my sympathies! I have been so behind on blogs lately and I just saw this. I hope you guys are doing better!

What Mary Means

What Mary Means
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
You Are a Banana
You are mellow, easy going, and a total softie on the inside. People find it really easy to get along with you. You suit most tastes. And while you're very sweet, you're not boring or ordinary. You have an attraction to the exotic, and you could show up anywhere... doing almost anything! You are spirited, energetic, and a total kick to be around. You're also quite funny. Your sense of humor is on the goofy side, and it fits you well.
