The Worst News Imaginable

Last Tuesday, everything was completely usual with my best friend, The Queen B. She ran across the garden to meet me when I ventured outside. She always did this really cute thing of seeing me, acknowledging me with a nod of her head and then miaowing all the way over to me as I walked towards her. She came in that night, and everything was as it always has been. She ate heartily. We hung out together. Her on the back of the sofa and me cuddling up next to her.

Wednesday last week, she stopped eating and by Thursday the weight was falling off her. I took her to the vet, they ran a blood test and this led to a biopsy which on Tuesday of this week (yesterday) returned the prognosis of cancer. Lymphoma. It’s just keeping her comfortable now.

I am going to lose my buddy. My amazing friend, whom I loved from the first moment I saw her. She is now little more than a bag of bones. We saw the vet today and he has put her on steroids to help slow the spread of the cancer as well as pain relief. She is just sitting in one place, still drinking but not eating.

One week has changed everything. I am heartbroken.

    1. Thank you my friend. That means a lot.

      Bonnie passed away today. I am totally broken. I am inconsolable and so very lonely. My great love has departed.
