My Heart Hurts.

When I woke up this morning, Aubbie was sleeping next to me on one side and Mimi was on the other side. I looked again at Aubbie wondering what the little lump of fur was on top of her. It was my little Lulu sound asleep. I couldn't help myself, I had to take a picture of it. Thank God I did. After I got ready for work, I took Lulu to the vet to drop her off so she could get spayed. A couple hours later, one of the vets called and told me there were complications, Lulu went into cardiac arrest, and died. My heart is completely broken. I loved that cat so much. She was the sweetest, friendliest, funniest cat I've ever had. I picked her up from the vet a little bit ago and we are going to bury her outside where she loved to watch out the window. I know all this may sound so silly...but I really love my animals with all my heart. I feel so empty. I wish I had known what would have happened....I'd rather listen to her meow (moan) all night long then not have her at all.













I also wish I had known this would be the last picture I'd be able to take of her....

I'm sorry Heather, I can't imagine what I'd do without Prissy. But if it makes you feel better....I read a book that says that animals DO go to heaven!! I got really excited when I heard that. I'll keep you in my prayers.

heather, kristi called me earlier and told me and i just cried. my heart hurts so bad for you. i would be the saddest girl if I lost my little Zoe. LuLu's pictures are so adorable to look at and I could just see how fun and sweet she was! Dont feel silly for a second, animals add so much to our lives and its only natural to feel that void when they leave. i love you and hope aubbie and lulu and rhett will give you lots of love and help you not be sad anymore

Oh Heather...I am so sorry! It is so awful to lose a pet. I hate that Lulu passed. But, I know that her short life was filled with so much love and attention. Hugs to you and the Summerford clan. --rae

I'm so sorry, Heather. You shouldn't feel silly - losing a pet hurts so badly. When I heard about this last night, my heart just broke for you. Lulu was the sweetest kitten, and like Rae said, even though her life was short, it was filled with so much love and fun. I love you, and I'm here if you need anything.

Thank you all so much for being so sweet...it really means a lot to me. While I reading the comments I just started to cry. I definitely know that ya'll all know how much pets (our babies) mean to us. It does make me feel better to know that little Lulu is in heaven now playing with all the other kitties and puppies and probably chasing a couple bugs too. =)

Heather seriously, Lulu was the cutest, sweetest little kitten. I loved her so much. I always told her she was my very favorite because she really was. She was just so much fun and loved being around people. I know how much you are hurting, and I am always here to cry and hurt with you! I love you so much, and I am so so sorry my heart.
