I couldn't write last week because I was too sad- I'm still sad. We had to put my dear, sweet kitty Alex to sleep a week ago. He was 16 years old, had gotten sick (lymphoma) suddenly, and was losing weight rapidly. Once an 18 pound big beautiful Maincoone, Alex had withered to 4 pounds 7 ounces. He stopped eating and drinking and seemed to be in pain, so we made the best decision we could for him. It was so hard, though. It really devastated me, especially since I was already so fragile emotionally due to the family drama that seems to only be getting worse. Alex had been with me through so much in my life. I got him right after I graduated college, and he's been such a sweet, gentle, wise and wonderful friend to me since. I am so sorry that he won't be here to welcome and watch over my new baby girl the way he was with Sophie and Ollie. He was such a kind old soul- unlike any cat I've ever had or ever will have. I miss him so much already. Michael, Sophie & Ollie loved him dearly also. Sophie asks me questions about Kitty Heaven almost every day. This photo was taken several months ago- just when he was starting to show his age. Rest in peace, sweet Alex...
So I had an OB appointment on Thursday. Unfortunately, I lost 4 pounds since my last appt. with her just two weeks ago. She says I should be gaining 1/2 to a pound a week right now. I never ever thought I'd have to worry that I was losing weight- especially since I really do eat what I want when I want (with the addition of the recent iron-rich foods for my anemia). I have less than 5 weeks until my due date, and I've gained less than 20 pounds total so far. My perinatologist said the kitten is a good weight and is growing, but still I worry. I've been sad, stressed, and also very sick for the past couple weeks- so my appetite has decreased significantly (but I am eating). My OB says I have an upper respiratory infection and prescribed a Z-pack. I hate the thought of taking antibiotics while pregnant (or anytime really), but I wasn't getting any better, so I gave them a try. We'll see- but I still feel very flu-like.
I know I really need to find ways to cheer myself up. Usually, the first two things on my list are baking with Sophie and shopping- neither of which I feel like doing. I can't believe I don't feel like shopping- that's how I know I'm depressed. I am, however, trying to cross things off my "To Do" list, so I designed the Kitten's blog. Let's hope I don't change her name (but I'm not saying I for sure won't).
www.annalisali.blogspot.comI also wrote my birth plan, and I have the last meeting with my doula next week. My due month starts in less than 2 weeks, and I'm just praying I last that long. I am HUGE, stretchy, sore, and sooo uncomfortable. And I think the Kitten rotated back to the transverse position. I hope not, but we'll find out next week. She moves all night, and I can't sleep at all- I wake up so often. I made tally marks the other night, and I woke up 28 times in one night! I have been taking naps almost every day though- and those are so wonderful. This is really sneaking up on me- I don't feel ready at all. Is that normal? It still seems surreal to me- it really does. Less than 5 weeks until my due date... wow...

I am so incredibly sorry about your beloved Alex. It is so hard to lose a pet. :(
I'm also sorry that the family drama continues on. I'm here if you ever need to talk.
FEEL BETTER SOON! Oh, and to answer your question about whether or not it's normal to not feel ready. SO NORMAL. :)
Take care of yourself!
Hang in there girl..there will come a day when the family saga will be over. It's difficult to think about how, in the future you'll look back to this time without so much anxiety but things will somehow HAVE to work themselves out!
You've got a baby girl on the way so...happy thoughts!
Shana,
I am so sorry to find out about your loyal Kitty Alex.
Hang in there! I am praying for you my blogger friend.
xoxo Michele
I'm so very sorry to hear about your sweet Alex.
Shana, I'm so sorry everything seems to be raining down on you right now, but I'm sure, once you see little Annalisa Li, everything else will melt away. By the way, her blog is lovely!
I had to put my cat down when I was eight months pregnant and it was so unbelievably awful. Like you, I was heartbroken that she didn't get to meet my baby.
My daughter is four now and loves our cat anyway. She saw pictures when she was just a baby and fell in love. We look through the scrapbook I made often, and she always says, "Sydney's in heaven. But I wish she was HERE with us."
I'm so sorry. It is just like losing a family member, and even harder to deal with when you're pregnant.
Sorry to hear about your cat.
I hope things get better for you with the whole family drama, I know all about it and it's SO taxing on your health. Stay strong.
Such a pretty name for your little sweetie!
All the very very very best for you and your family in these final weeks.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Alex. Our pets certainly become family and its so hard to say goodbye!
You sound so sad.. Wish I could give you a big hug! Things will look up as you move closer to the kitten's arrival! Her blog is beautiful as is her name..
Take care, Steph
It's so painfull to lose a member of your family...:( Alex will be in your memories all the time,and his spirit will protect you.
I am sorry to hear that you are still sad about something,you should'not be sad in times like thise,when your baby is so close to be born.Can you just turn your back to those people that upset you?At least try..
I am sure the kitten will be fine,she is so lucky,and she will be healthy and beautiful.:))
I can't wait for the first pictures with her...:))
Take care.

Shana,
thank you for taking the time to update us....
I am so sorry about your loss. It is devastating to lose pet.
PLEASE, take good care of yourself.
Many people(including me)are praying for you!

Hi I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry about your precious Alex. It must be heartbreaking. Also please try not to let your family drama get to you. You have a precious little girl on the way and you need to concentrate your energy on being relaxed and positive. Also to try and ease other worries you have. When I was pregnant with my first baby I lost 8 kilograms during my pregnancy. I don't know exactly what that is in pounds as we don't use pounds in Australia apart from weighing babies. However it must be around 16-20 pounds as my new little bubba Riley currently weighs 6.5 kilograms which is nearly 15 pounds. The doctors were not concerned as long as the baby kept growing. I know however I stressed all the time about it. I am blessed to have two beautiful boys who light up my life and after some major health scares with my new little bubba it looks like he might be out of the woods and all better. We find out next week. It is totally normal to not feel ready. I still don't feel ready and my bubba is 19 weeks old. Good luck with everything. I hope you have a quick and painless birth. Well we can only wish. Kim
Shana,
I am so sorry about Alex. Animals can very much be a part of the family, therefore it isn't easy seeing them go. You did make the right decision, despite how hard it must have been.
I am sorry you are feeling so down and that the family dramam continues. You have proven your strength and determination in other situations, and I am confident you will pull through this as well.
Stay strong Shana! We are all thinking about you!
~Lynn/PA
(and of course, I love Annalisa's website!)
Thinking of you in a hovering, mothering sort of way. Praying the sun comes out for you soon (or the daughter! haha I couldn't resist).
Remember, taking care of you, is taking care of Annalisali.
Oh, Shana, that breaks my heart about Alex. I am so very sorry.
So very sorry that you have family drama in your life too. I hope it dies down soon.
And the last couple of months of both my pregnancies I had a hard time sleeping. The only thing that really helped was a body pillow to lie on and the other pillows up under my back. Not sure if that is you problem or not, but maybe it would help.
You will make it through this, promise! Hang in there. The end is in sight.
When you are upset or uncomfortable with the pregnancy, remember that this is the last time that you will ever be this close to your baby. Treasure these moments. They will be gone all too soon.
I am so sorry for the loss of your cat, Alex. What a painful thing to have to watch. Our pets so become a part of our family. It is a huge loss.
Sorry also that you continue to be stressed about family situations...those can certainly take over our lives at any given moment. I've had my share lately so this especially strikes a nerve with me...and I hope that you can at least find some peace in the situation if not resolution. Keep concentrating on your own sweet family and only take on what you can with the bigger picture...easier said than done, I know.
I LOVE to bake with my Lia too...yesterday it was raining here and she told me..."You know what that means....time to bake cookies!!!" :-)
Since I love to shop on the internet, I recently found a great site that you can check for discount codes...it has worked beautifully several times for me (and probably excites me just a little too much!)
www.retailmenot.com
You just enter the site you want to order from in the search engine and it searches for any codes. I thought maybe that might cheer you up just a little!!
I wish you a happy and peaceful day! Take care of yourself!!
With concern,
Kate
Oh girl. I feel the same way. I actually made a list of all that I have to do, and I think it's only made things worse.
So sorry about your kitty. Pets become one of the family, and I remember the loss when we put our dog down. Really sad.
Hope you feel better soon. Ask your MD about taking something at night to help you sleep, Benadryl, etc. I know most like to avoid meds when pregnant, but one a week can really make a huge difference when you are feeling so puny. A good night's sleep is priceless, and the meds are fine to take.
I'm sitting here today on my son's first birthday...to think I was in the hospital a year ago, reading your post and I had some similarities. First of all, on the weight gain. My guy grew so fast that I couldn't keep up with him. I think total, I gained around 18 lbs. for the pregnancy and he was born 2 weeks early at 8lbs. 11 oz. So, if the baby is growing okay, it should be fine.
Second, so sorry on your kitty. We had to put my kitty from high school down a few years ago. She traveled with me when I got married, to our new home, etc. She had diabetes and an enlarged heart and it was soooo hard to put her down, but the vet said she was in pain. Hugs!
There is light at the end of the tunnel, as cliched as that sounds, its true. Hang in there and things will turn around.
Shana,
I am so sorry to hear about your loving cat, Alex. I hate that for you!!! We had our cat 16 yrs when he passed away. They are special friends.
Also the family issues, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that when this should be such a happy time!! And I am praying for you!
It is very normal to not feel ready for the Kitten to be born. I just wish you felt better.
I love the new blog for Annalisa Li!! Beautifully designed!! Is her room done?
God bless you Shana, You are a great gal!!
Debbie
I a so sorry about your dear sweet kitty. I am so sad for you. My 7 year old kitty is in the hospital right now with liver problems. We are hoping he is going to make it. We will know better in a day or two. He is one of my best friends and my hubby and I might not have made it through our first year of living together before we were married if it hadn't been for my sweet Baby Kitty. We had moved to another state and for a long time my Baby was my only friend.
As for the not sleeping my mom says it is training for when the baby comes. Although after the first few nights at home I stopped staring at my baby boy all night long and did start sleeping again. And it was better sleep then I had at the end of my pregnancy. Hang in there. Soon you will have your sweet baby to snuggle and love and then it will all be very real. I think we were home from the hospital for about 3 days before it really felt real me. You are in my thoughts every day. I hope things get better with your family.
I'm so sorry about your sweet Alex (((HUGS)))
The new blog design looks very pretty!
I had to make the same decision that you did for Alex last summer with my sweet cat Elliot. He was 16 years old and I had had him since I graduated from college. He was especially close to my daughter, who was 8 at the time. It was very hard, but please know that it does get better. You will always miss him but the sadness will fade and you will remember all the wonderful moments you shared. Blessings.
So sorry to hear about your kitty. Sorry you are having stress and depression right now. I will be praying for you. Glad to hear that the kitten is growing and doing well. She will be here so soon!
I am so sorry about Alex. What a handsome man he was too! Our pets become like children to us. We recently had our 2 yr old black lab get sick (a neighbor accidentally poisoned her by feeding her grapes) and we had to put her down. It is never easy. Alex will always be with you- he'll live on.
It's normal not to feel ready. I thought I was ready and then kept thinking I wasn't. It will all fall into place especially once you hold that beautiful baby girl!
XOXOXO

Oh Shana,
I am so very sorry to hear about your sweet kitty Alex. I know how difficult and heartbreaking this decision can be. Our kitties are part of our family and really are great friends. We have had to put down 2 of our dear kitties in the past few years. Now our last sweet boy is starting to show signs of decline. So this post really broke my heart. Like you, these kitties have been with me since I was in my mid twenties. They have been through so many life changes with me and were just happy to love me (now us). Again, I am so sorry that you had to make this decision at such a difficult and stressful time.
Please take care of yourself. We will say a prayer for the kitten and your sweet Alex.
Tracy
I am so sorry about Alex. I had a beloved, giant Maine Coon that I also had to have put to sleep. Even when you know it is the best decision for them, it is HARD. I am sorry you having such a rough last couple of months. The Kitten will be here soon - -and so will happier days.
I am so sorry for your loss. And I'm also sorry that family drama is clouding what should be a happy, beautiful time.
welcome to the end of your preganacy!!! i remember those sleepless nights well!! it gets you ready for the sleepless months ahead!!!!
i am so sorry for your stressful weeks-- too depressed for shopping is a sure sign of not good!!! ( i love to shop too!) give it to God-- give Him your burdens and our worries-- let it go!!!!!
I'm so sorry about your kitty Alex. It's so hard to lose a pet.
Sorry to hear you are losing weight. Please take care of yourself. You are an inspiration to me of a wonderful mother and a kind caring person.
That said, I just found out I'm pregnant and everything is looking well so far. It's very early on and it's so tough not to tell our daughter. She wants a little brother or sister so badly. We just did IVF last month and it seems to have worked. So unfortunately we'll have 8 years between our two children, but on the bright side, is our daughter will get to enjoy being a new big sister. She's so helpful with cousins and other friend's babies. She'll be my little mother's helper.
Lots of (((hugs))) for you!
Shana
So sorry about your Kitty!!!I understand that it is so hard right now but please know you are not alone...in spirit anyway!!! {{Hugs}} I will continue to pray for you and Kitten!!!
Bobbie
Hang in there, girl!!! Wishing you happy thoughts.
Hi Shana,
Have you heard of the children's book called "The Tenth Good Thing About Barney"? (no not the purple dinosaur!) Barney is a cat and he goes to heaven and the child thinks of 10 good things about him. The end is wonderful in that they put him to rest in the garden and he helps the flowers grow. Your gardens are so beautiful, thought this might be a good book for Sophie Lu. You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday......Susan in Boston
So sorry to hear about Alex. I have been there and well only til you experience it yourself do you truly understand. I am also sad to hear that you are under the weather and that your family stress has not gone away. I will be saying a prayer for you. We all care, IT WILL GET BETTER!!!!
So sorry about your lovely kitty. You make such beautiful blogs, and appear to have a strong spirit! I hope you are feeling better soon.
Shana,
I am so sorry about Alex. And I am sorry the family drama hasn't seemed to slow down. I was hoping it would get better as it gets closer to the kitten's due date. Right now...take your focus off of everyone except where you heart is (your hubby and babies). Take care of you...nap away...eat up and do whats best for you!
Norah
Shana - I am so sorry about sweet Alex. I am afraid I will have to make that decision about my Tiger Lily soon, she is a 10 year old Boxer.
I have added you to my prayer list.
I hope that the family issues work out soon for you.
Peace.
I had to put my cat down 4 weeks before i was do with the same issue.....it was horrible....I brought him in and I brought him back home in a towel I had bought for him and had David dig a place in the ground for me to put him on our property. I then placed the stone.
It will all be okay sweet girl....I promise....I also had to take the z-pak while pregnant as well....you need to rest, and focus on the upcoming journey....enjoy your birth and bringing this miracle into your beautiful family....don't let the family issues take away this joy you have been longing for, for so long.....we are praying for you....hugs,
Steffie
Awwe... I'm sorry you are having a yucky time of it right now. So sorry to hear about your loss.... pets are wonderful little friends who love us unconditionally... it's tough losing one. :(
Hang in there... that last month is rough and you are so right... you just can't seem to get very comfortable. And to answer your question.... I don't think one is truly ever really ready for motherhood! It's an amazing experience. I remember coming home from the hospital with Josh and I walked in to the middle of the house with him and looked at my husband and said "now what?" lol... I didn't know what to do or expect. But you know what? It just all comes naturally. You have an exciting month ahead of you... try to get some rest. Love the new blog, you are sooo talented!
God bless,
Lisa :)
I am so sorry about your kitten Alex. I am a big cat lover and my heart goes out to you and your family.
I am also sorry about your family issues right now. The stress is not good for you {{{hug}}} I wish your family could see what the stress is doing to you and think about you and baby and not themselves. I am so sorry {{{hug}}}
As for not being ready, yes that's normal. I was never ready but once the time came and that baby was put in to my arms for the first time...you betcha I was ready and you will be too : ) Hang in there.
So sorry about Alex, losing a pet is difficult.
Don't be so hard on yourself everything your feeling is normal and everything will work out. Your baby girl will be here soon and none of the finished or unfinished stuff will seem to matter. Hang in there and we will be praying for you :)
Oh, and the blog is just beautiful!
I'm so sorry about your kitty. I went through the same thing exactly 2 years ago this week -- I had to say goodbye to the 2 cats I'd had for 18 years. My husband took the kids out of town so I could be alone at home crying, which I did for several days. I was a wreck. I really feel for you. Some day your happy memories will outweigh the sadness, and you'll smile when you think of Alex, instead of crying. Some day. Lots of love to you.
Shana,
Hello! Life has a way of going so fast with things accumulating sometimes at an alarming rate. I'm very sorry about the loss of your loved one. Pregnancy is such a hormonal experience, not including the endless trips to the bathroom, being tired (anemia impacts this), and just the pressure of the baby lowering. So many things, and you have two kids to take care of in the process. And you wonder why you are tired and don't feel like shopping? For me, pregancy was beautiful but very hormonal and I like routine which having a baby is not in any way routine!
So, take a deep breath and deal one day at a time. Enjoy each day. Listen to your favorite music, call a dear old friend, read a good book, and live one day at a time. You are almost there. And baking sounds like a wonderful idea, especially if it's chocolate. Chocolate in my opinion is the cure to world peace (lol).
Wishing you a relaxing, sunny day!
Shana,
So very sorry about Alex. Our pets really do become like trusted friends or family to us. I hope you are able to start getting some better sleep...although a friend once told me she woke up so much before her baby was born that it got her ready for what was about to happen after. :) I hope you are feeling better soon!
So sorry about your Kitty, Alex. I know that babies can comfort broken hearts...
I like this design (the kitten within) much better!!!
You should just take the pregnant cartoon off and change "the kitten within" for "Anal isa l i"
Best of lucks to you! :)
xoxox, Roxsana
Terrible timing for family drama and the loss of your pretty cat. I'm so sorry. At least you will have the blessing of a new life and hopefully that will cheer you up.
I'm also due in September. I feel ready for the baby, but not for the labor! I'd love to exchange emails with you. If you're interested (I expect you don't have much time), find me on my blog
http://intrepidnews.blogspot.com/
Wishing you all the best!
Sarah
Oh, Shana, it must the the time in our lives when God makes room for those that are coming. Just this last Sunday my cat, Darling, who I had for 15 years, passed away. She, too, was suddenly ill.
Please don't be too worried about losing weight. As long as the baby is growing, and your anemia is better, you'll be fine.
This has been a hard year+ for you. I hope things drastically improve once the baby is born.
I'll pray that you feel comfort and well-being during this special time you're doing through.
Shana,
I am so sorry about your loss of Alex and about the continuing family drama. It is so nice of you to keep us updated.
I am a grandmother now but I still remember being scared that I wouldn't be able to take care of a third baby, but of course, I did. It was easier than I had thought. Also, I lost weight during my last month of pregnancy but the babies were just fine.
Fran
I'm very sorry to hear about Alex. I've had to put down a beloved cat before and it really was the hardest thing I've had to do - but it was the right decision.
Hope you feel better soon.
Shana,
I am sorry to hear about Alex. I know that it is like losing a family member. you have had too much sadness lately and I pray for happier times for you!!!!
I LOVE the look of the new blog....you know I am all about the damask! I also love the way the name "Annalisa Li" looks. It is so pretty and feminine.
Call me if you want.. We have tons going on--we have guests visiting , are heading to the beach and moving far away the week we get back! I am thinking about you friend.
Love,
kim
You asked me about packing a hospital bag. I know what you mean about not being sure what to put in it. Honestly, I googled most of my list. Some of the more different things I'm planning to bring include a change of clothes for my husband, our favorite snacks (for after the birth), a stopwatch (to time contractions -- not sure how much I'll like that when I'm actually in labor...we'll see), washcloths (I like cool ones on my forehead), a prepaid calling card in case my cell phone doesn't work in the hospital, my own pillow and my boppy, as well as nursing supplies... I'm going to post my list on my blog soon. I actually splurged on a new bag (on ebags.com) to take to the hospital so once it arrives I'm going to get serious about packing!
Good luck! I'm so excited for you. I definitely think you'll go before me!
Take care,
Sarah
Hi Shana,
I am so sorry about your dear pet. I understand how you feel.
Also, please ask your Doctor about Hellp Syndrome. I had the same symptoms as you when I was pregnant with my daughter. Anemia, not gaining weight and liver/gallbladder pain. I had to do the research myself as they said I had Eclampsia. I didnt see severe liver as a symptom. Just google the word Hellp Syndrome and make sure you ask your doctors to run the tests.
Hope you feel better soon.
Just take it one day at a time.
Those MainCoones are the most amazing babies.....they are so big but they are so sweet ....I know how you feel we Lost our 17 year old Harry a few years ago and he is still missed ..........He used to let Jade use him as a pillow...and if she woke up he would come get me if I was to slow getting upstairs...
You will feel better in time.
jolene
Dearest Shana,
I am so sorry to hear about your precious Alex. I lost my precious black Labrador Retriever, Sadie, a few months before we adopted Grayson. The situation was similar. I'd had her since my senior year in college and she was nearly 16 years old! We had to have her put to sleep one day before the one year anniversary of my father's passing, which made it that much more painful. Like you, I was so sad she wouldn't be here to greet Grayson and watch over him as she had me all those years. One of my friends said, "she's waiting for you at the rainbow bridge." Don't know if you know that poem, but if you Google it, you'll find it. I found it comforting. I will pray for you. And as for the family situation, I'll pray for that, too. While it's easier said than done, try to focus on the positive. Perhaps a gratitute journal would help... so that when you are feeling down, you can journal the things you are most grateful for... and look at them to lift your heart and mind. Thinking of you! Love, Brittany
Your story about Alex made me cry! Cats are my favorite upon favorite animals, we have four and they are like my children. So I totally feel for your loss.
I also really hope that you start to feel better soon! Try not to beat yourself up about everything, with raging hormones everything feels about 100 times worse.
But I shall continue to pray for you and your precious baby's safe arrival.
Sorry about your loss, I lost my dear cat at the same age from the same disease, she was so skinny and ill and it broke my heart. But now she has a very special stone pagoda marking her burial site in the woods and my kids always go play there and say hi to Muffin. It does get easier, not better - just easier.
5 weeks! Wow, that went fast! But then, other people's pregnancies usually do!
Sending lots of positive thoughts your way! :)
There is a point, and it's usually before birth that you don't feel ready. I was ready until it was getting to be that time and then I was scared to death. Everything you are feeling is completely normal! Once she's out and you realize she's healthy and happy, you just become ready and everything is just second nature. It's so weird how that motherly instinct kicks in!
I'm sorry about your beautiful Alex.
Oh Shana, Your sweet old cat was just beautiful. I KNOW you will miss him around the house so much. I am so sorry you are not well. I think of you every single day, and just pray that you'll get through this time with ease and a calm spirit. Your new baby girl will be here before you know it!! Just try to rest as much as you can. These days will soon be a faint memory and your days will be filled with such JOY in the house from this new sister baby...!! I can't wait for you to meet her!! Please know that you are in my prayers and I only wish I lived closer so I could come by and cheer you up a little... while you are still waiting!!
Talk to you soon,
hugs, hugs, Betsy
Annalisa Li... she is gonna be as famous as her siblings, Sophie Lu and Ollie, I mean, before she is being born, her blogsite already hit 1900+! :)
Take care Shana, don't be too hard on yourself when the time comes, baby's safety is the 1st in the list! Can't wait to see pics of your little Kitten!
Sorry about Alex, I would miss seeing his pictures... (I like those you took of Ollie with Alex, very nice and what good memory!)
Shana,
I am soooo sorry that you are stressed and sorry about your sweet kitty, Alex. I am glad to hear that your kitten within is doing well; you are going to be such a beautiful new mama; I can't wait!
((Praying))
Shana~
I'm so glad you updated your blog. I know I've never met you but I've been worried about you. I live in TX and I was on a business trip in the L.A. area during the earthquake a couple of weeks ago. I thought about you and your family.
I'm SO sorry about your sweet kitty. My parents had to put my dog to sleep when I was a senior in college and I was devastated. I know how you feel.
Also, I'm so sorry that your family drama continues. I have been praying for you, your family, and the Kitten. Hang in there.
Jill
congratulations on your pregnancy!
You are a lucky biatch!!!
Peace!
Diamond
Shaina,
So sorry to hear about Alex. It is so hard when you lose a pet. I know, we lost our cat "Skeeter" a while ago. At least precious Alex isn't in pain and is up in "Kitty Heaven" watching over your family.
I hope all is well with your pregnancy and I can't wait to see pics of the new little one. Take Care of your self, you are an amazing woman.
Elaine from MT.
I'm so sorry about Alex :( Hopefully the time is continuing to heal you.
Thank you so much for your comment! It's fun to read your blog and see where I'll be not long from now. Love your preggie pics too :) You must be in your due month by now - how exciting! I hope all continues to go well and I'll keep following along!
Jess
I am so sorry to hear about your kitty, Shana. My dear kitty is also dying of lymphoma and it breaks my heart. He is hanging in there for the time being, but we know his time is limited. Thinking of you as you journey into the last few weeks of your pregnancy.
Shana,
I am terribly sorry to hear about you losing Alex. For non animal lovers, it is very hard to explain just how painful losing a beloved pet is. I lost my horse, Midnight, almost 5 years ago. We were together for 20 years. I still cry about him and miss him every single day.
Sorry for your loss,
Kat, Colin, Sophia and Keenan
