Farewell. Good Girl


Keetah
2012-2023


Keetah had a heart attack and quickly died last Thursday while walking with Mark to the mailbox. It hit me hard. I am clinically depressed and a black cloud enveloped me. I want to let you know I am still vertical, or as vertical as I can be. I'm still poor company, so I will probably be absent a bit longer.

I hope the black cloud passes over you very soon. So sorry you lost Keetah.

Oh no! I am so sorry. To loose a beloved friend is never, ever easy.
My heart goes out to you and Mark and all Keetah's friends.
Take Care,
Kaye

So so sorry, they leave paw prints on our hearts in so many ways. She had a good life with you may that give you some comfort.

Ami said...

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Sending you a hug.

Sandra said...

Thank you all for your kindness. I am feeling better.

I'm so very sorry I missed this News, my condolences. Heart Attacks, whether our Fury Friends or Human Loved Ones, are so sudden and so unexpected, so, no time to prepare oneself for the Loss.

This is so true, Dawn. It's a shock.

Belated condolences on Keetah’s surely unexpected passing, Sandra, I am late in reading this post and hope you are ok.

Sandra said...

Beatrice, I am doing well. Thank you for checking in.

I'm so sorry to hear this. What a shock. I'm glad you have the cats, I know they're not the same as a dog, but they can be there for you too. Thinking of you! <3

Sandra said...

julochka, it was a shock. Just like that, gone. I have developed a new appreciation for cats, starting with the cat you named, Frieda, and now Gatto. They are both different from any I have known.
