About noon today, a compassionate veterinarian first gave Penny an injection which caused her to lose consciousness, then injected the lethal dose into a vein causing a sleep from which she would never awake. Now, with tears shed, I’m adjusting to her absence here in the studio. For many years I’ve been accustomed to seeing her beautiful full-colored calico body stretched out on a cot along one wall or, sometimes, alert and staring out the window. Poor, half-wild and frightened kitten that I adopted and brought home with me, a Penny that never fully acclamated herself to living with human beings—with the exception of myself—made my bedroom closet and this one room her world. I was her “God” and I trust, she found me to be a “good God”.

I am so sorry she’s gone, Mary, but glad she is no longer in pain. I bet she loved her life with you. I hope you are OK. Thinking of you. XXX
This blog’s great!! Thanks
.
Matt, I have tried over and over again to have your comment approved without
success. If this attempt makes it, thanks for the compliment.
Thank you, Selma. Musette, my long-haired gray, white-bibbed cat and Scamp, my, some-times-too-smart-for-me Shih Tzu are both young enough that I should not have to go through the trauma of having to have either of them euthanized. Getting ever older seems to make such trials more difficult when dealing with them.
Mary I’m so very sorry I missed this posting – I send you my deepest condolences on the loss of your little one. It is never easy to let them go and we must always remember how much joy they brought us. My thoughts are with you dear. Linda
and thank you croneandbearit. It was a difficult descision having Penny euthanized. but I had to do it for both her sake and mine. I just didn’t have the funds and the physical strength it would have taken to have made her last few years tolerable. Life has taught me many things, and facing facts has been high on the list. This has been but one of many, many such “facts”.
Even knowing that it is necessary to put an animal down to doesn’t make it any easier to do. I’m sorry, Mom.
I agree with Uncle Jack.
