Today I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let my sweet Tuna Belle cross Rainbow Bridge. Last night she started having seizures and was losing control of her bladder. This morning I finally made the call to end her suffering at the suggestion of the vet staff. The selfish part of me wanted the vet to run tests, prescribe medicines and treat her, but I knew that wouldn't be fair to her. I will miss her so dearly, especially the adorably ugly little noises she made when she was about to get fed. I know she's in a better place, but my heart still breaks for her.

What a beauty - I love that shot of her peeking around the corner. I'm very sorry for your loss. Making that decision is one of the hardest things to do.
RIP, Tuna Belle.

She was lovely. Most of us understand how hard it is to make that dreaded decision. I am sure she felt the love you have for her. Love the picture of her peeping around the corner at you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, she is really a beauty in your pictures! The void in our hearts never completely goes away until we can fill it with another to love. We never replace them, we honor them by loving again. RIP little Tuna Belle, you were truly a beautiful soul!

I'm so sorry for your loss of Tuna Belle.  This photo especially tugs on my heart strings because this beautiful girl reminds me so much of my Chaos I just lost over this last weekend.  Devastation is a perfect word for the feeling.  I hope you're healing as best as can be expected.  I know I have a long road myself.  *hugs*
