Goodbye Millie Girl

We had a devastating loss over the summer.  We had to put our Miliie girl down.  It happened so quickly too.  She was having trouble walking and could no longer stand just out of nowhere.  To the emergency vet we went.  They did some x-rays and told us she had bad arthritis in her legs and her bones were basically rubbing together.  We took her home with some meds in hoped that it would help.  It was a rough night.  Chuck and I slept on the floor with her.  I woke up to her in her litter box but she couldn't get out.  We knew it was time.  She was 17 years old.  She was our first baby, the baby before the kids came. The baby that was here before I even started this blog years ago.  It was the hardest decision we ever had to make and it was awful.  All 5 of us went to the vet and held her and petted her during the procedure.  We cried a lot and brought our girl home to bury her in the backyard.  She meant the world to us and we loved her very much.  You will never find a better cat as her.  We laugh because she was our attack cat in the beginning but deep down, a snuggler.  She loved us and always was nice to the kids.  We will miss her so much.  Fly high Millie Girl.  You will forever be in our hearts.
