About a week ago a neighbor brought me a kitten. It was less than 2 weeks old and like a sucker, took it in. We took care of it (didn't even know the sex) and loved it. This morning I had a premonition to take it to the vet. I worked out of town today and driving home I had an increasing feeling of dread. I got home with the intention of taking a shower and then making the vet appointment when Itty was laying splayed out in his bed, unresponsive. I scooped him up and raced to the vet. Itty was near death, a virus had attacked his/her little body. Nothing could be done so I gave the vet permission to end the suffering. I made a little makeshift casket and wrapped him/her in washcloths (we always played 'papoose') and laid Itty in the garden under the pomegranate bush and muscadine vines.
Needless to say I'm a wreak. Please pray, send good thoughts, etc., to us so that this pain will subside.
Goodbye Itty Bitty, I loved you so much for the short time we had together.

heartfelt condolences, my friend. losing a little furry companion is such a heart wrenching experience. I have tears running down my face as I write this. the poor little guy didn't get much time here but he was truly blessed when he found a home with you.
I am so sorry for your loss. What tender loving care itty bitty kitty had in his/her short life. Love and Light.
My condolences.
I am so sorry, my friend. Prayers indeed to you. I am very attached to animals myself and I couldn't even imagine the pain right now.

It sure doesn't take long for furry critters to weasel their way into your heart, does it?
Thank you all, you do not have the faintest idea how much I appreciate your kindness. Thank you all so very very much.
