It is with a broken heart I write this post.  Our poor sweet little Chessie was diagnosed with renal (kidney) failure on October 16th 2013.  We helped her as much as we could with her battle but renal failure is a terminal illness and we knew we wouldn't be able to keep her alive.  My poor Chessie was so weak and tired of her battle that on December 4th we made a vet appointment to have her put to sleep.  I'm so thankful it was a sunny day because she got to sleep in her favorite toy tunnel in the sun.  Later in the afternoon she got to spend a little time out on the deck remembering her hunting adventures.  At the end of the day we took into the vet's and she went peacefully with no fuss.  I miss her so very much.  It just doesn't seem fair that we had her liver problems back within normal ranges and she was a happy, loving, fun kitty.  The house is so quiet and empty without her.  Everywhere I look reminds me of her.  She gave lots of love and was loved greatly in return.  I'm glad your suffering is over and I hope you are having fun over on the Rainbow Bridge side.
