I didn't care what it was, I just wanted to know that it was her sign that she was okay. It came about a week later and though I missed her terribly and still do, I know she's all right.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-64927672742606084302015-08-24T09:48:17.267+00:002015-08-24T09:48:17.267+00:00That's the way to go.

Knowing whether he was able to just drift away or met a horrible end due to some opportunist predator.<br />That happened to my very elderly cat some years ago. We were debating the inevitable trip to the vet but he wandered off by himself to die. We found him the next day having been badly beaten up by other cats - probably all getting their own back when he could no longer fight back. I shall never forget the look in his eyes as we took what was left of him to the vet to be put out of his misery. It was heartbreaking and I vowed I would never again hesitate to do the right thing by a pet, however hard it is.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-71707130943391509662015-08-23T07:58:46.772+00:002015-08-23T07:58:46.772+00:00RIP Bingley ..... if indeed you are gone.
