Goodbye Sweet Muffy November 26, 2006
I really wish I didn’t have to write this post, but our dear kitty, Muffy, is no longer with us. The end stage renal failure symptoms kept progressing this week, and she kept getting sicker and sicker. The last thing either Dan or I wanted was for her to suffer, so we took her to the vet today to have her put to sleep.
I know without a doubt that we did what was best for her. She lived a very happy 15 years, and she deserved not to suffer at the end. My heart is just in pieces, though. Oh, it’s such a hard thing to do.
I have no clue what I believe in regards to the whole afterlife thing, but it gives me comfort to think of Muffy and Dixie together again. This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them. They were the very best of friends.
I really can’t believe that Muffy’s gone now, too. We knew this day was coming, but I still can’t believe it. I just can’t believe Salvador is an only cat now. Just over a year ago we were a three cat family. It’s just so hard to lose both of my sweet girl kitties. They were such a huge part of my life, and they’ll always have such a huge piece of my heart.
I miss you sweet Muffy. I love you, my princess kitty.

Oh hun I am so, so, sorry. I lost my Joe the same time you lost Dixie last year and my heart breaks thinking of you losing another of your kitties. I’m sure her and Dixie are together now. *hugs*
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Muffy. I totally understand how special kitties can be. My “childhood” kitty, Fred, died last year and I was devastated. Our current kitties are very young (only 3) and I just can’t imagine our life without them.
Hang in there. I am sure Muffy and Dixie are happy to be together again and are being sweet kitty angels to protect you in the coming weeks.
I am so sorry, Amanda. I hope Salvador does alright without Muffy; parents, too. It’s so hard having both Muffy and Dixie gone in such a short period. Hard, too, having to make THE decision.
I’m so sorry, sweetie.
oh poor kitty. i’m sorry. :(
I’m very sorry, Amanda. What a sweet picture of Dixie and Muffy. I’m so sorry you had to go through this with both of them in the last year. Give Salvador lots of hugs.
I’m so sorry. She was lovely.
Amanda I am so so sorry, that you did the right thing for muffy doesn’t make her going any easier I know. those photo’s are beautiful. :o(
I am so sorry. I’m sure Dixie and Muffy are having a good time seeing each other again.
It is so hard to lose our furry family members. We have had both our cat and dog for thirteen years and I worry every day that they won’t be here much longer. I’m very sorry.
I’m so sorry.
Amanda, I’m so very sorry to hear the sad news about Muffy. She was a beautiful girl and I hope she is on what they call the Rainbow Bridge with sweet Dixie.
Oh I am so sorry! Just heart broken for you. She was absolutely lovely.
Thinking of you and your husband.
Oh Amanda I’m so so sorry….. x
thinking of you x
So sorry to hear about this.
Muffy and Dixie are most definitely together now and watching you and also thanking you for being such a wonderful mother to them.
No doubt in my mind.
OH no Amanda, I’m so sorry. (((hugs))))
I am sorry for your loss. She’s in a better place now…
I’m so sorry. Losing a pet is tough.
I’m so sorry, Amanda–losing a pet is very painful.
Oh Amanda, my heart is just breaking for you. So sorry for your loss.
amanda, i’m so sorry for you loss. ~hugs~
I’m so sorry Amanda :(
I am so sorry about your kitty. :(
I’m sorry about Muffy.
I’m so sorry to hear about Muffy. No doubt she had a long and loving life as a member of your family, always remember that and the memories.
Cats leave pawprints on your heart.
Amanda,
As soon as I saw your post, tears came into my eyes. You must be a wreck right now. I know how much you loved her and, after all these years, to have to say goodbye must have been terrible. I’m so sorry. She and Dixie were both beautiful and I do believe they are together now keeping one another company.
Big hug.
I’m so sorry.
{{{HUGS}}}
So sorry also Amanda…
Thinking of you.
Big hugs Amanda. I know how hard it is to watch your kitty get sick and have to make that decision. When my first cat died, my other cat wandered around the house, a little thrown, for a few weeks. She adjusted to being an only cat pretty quickly, though, although she became a lot more cuddly with me. I’m sure Salvatore will do fine. And I really like the idea of Muffy & Dixie together in the after world.
Oh Amanda, I am so sorry.
I’m so sorry, Amanda.
I’m so sorry – and I do hope that Dixie and Muffy have found eachother.
Oh dear! I’m so sorry, Amanda! Poor Muffy, you definitely had a hard choice there, but did the right thing, in my opinion.
take care.
Losing a pet is so hard! It is a cliche, but they really are a member of your family – and a friend. I hope you are doing okay!
I’m so sorry, Amanda. :(
Aw, Amanda, I’m crying here, how awful. I’m so sorry lovey – losing a pet is so hard,but two in such a close timeframe sucks.
I am really sorry for your loss.
Oh I am so sorry to hear of this. It is soooooooo very hard to lose a pet. My heart goes out to you.
Just catching up and want to say SO sorry. Geez, Muffy pretty much (at least it seems like) on the heels of Dixie is really too much. It really sucks. I like the idea of them hanging out together again and I pray that you think of that on the evenings when the house seems too quiet.
Hang in there.
I just logged in for the first time too – I’m so very sorry about your precious Muffy. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. Remember the good times you all had together – that’ll help ease the pain – a tiny bit. Praying you find strength at this difficult time.
Oh, I’m so sorry Amanda. You did the right thing.
Hugs.
I’m very sorry for your loss- It’s so hard to lose a pet.
I’m so sorry to hear about Muffy. It’s always so tough to lose a pet, and it seems like nobody understands your pain, doesn’t it? Please remember to take care of yourself and the little guy!
