Just last Friday, I had to let my 12 year old Chili strut regally across the rainbow bridge after a protracted battle with her kidneys that ultimately was just a symptom of a cancer. And exactly 1 week before that, my partner had to let go of her Leo, who was just as old but had since birth struggled with his weak heart.

I was prepared for the worst opening the image.

Thanks for making my day a little brighter instead, those are lovely (and ferocious) little huntresses!

I’m sorry for your losses. Last month I escorted my 14+ yo best buddy across the bridge due to CKD (he lasted years longer than expected!) and lost a just over month old kitten who failed to thrive on the same day.

That shit is rough. Especially when it comes in rapid-fire.

I'm so sorry for your losses, but glad I could brighten your day a little. I hope you're both getting the support you need to process things.
