Ethel

[Cibach]

I never imagined I would be posting here again so soon.
Barely 2 weeks after we lost Latte, dear Ethel has left us.

She developed a very fast growing, very painful tumour in her left lower jaw which was preventing her from opening her mouth enough to eat and drink and we had no choice but to PTS before it got any worse. What a hard decision to make, and live with. But definitely the correct one for Ethel.
We had the opportunity to have one last evening with her as I was at the vet by myself and couldn't make the decision to do it there and then and deprive everybody else at home of a last good bye. A lovely evening it was too. Cuddles all round, with Ethel sleeping a lot in Anna's pink dressing gown while Anna was wearing it.
Bittersweet but I wouldn't have missed it.
So Yesterday morning we went back to the vet and Ethel left all the pain and suffering behind.
Now she can eat all she wants from the sweet grass at Rainbow Bridge with her dear friends Latte and Cappuccino.

Good Bye dear friend. How we miss you.
I look forward to seeing you again when it's time.

Baby Ethel
