My Beautiful Girl…


My Scarlett turned 14 on May 1st.  For a collie, that is something to celebrate.  We lost our first collie, Lad at 7, and we lost Abby, Holly and Kori at 12 years old.  We were blessed to have Ryder with us for his 14th birthday too.  I know we were given a gift, having her with us for all these years, but I was still hoping for more time.  But this past week she hasn’t been doing so well.  She has developed a mass on one of her back paws.  It’s very painful, and she’s having trouble walking.  We are taking her to the vet today, and while I’m hoping it’s something treatable, like an infection, I’m very worried that it’s something more serious.  So please keep our perfect girl in your thoughts and prayers.


This video was from Monday on our evening walk.

  4. Sending prayers and hugs and purrs and woofs for you <3 Lovely little video, she looks happy :-D

    I lost my Bengal boy on Monday. He was 16. The vet told me that was a great age for a Bengal Cat. I have lost all my family members and lost my dad in 2002 when I was 21. I was so close to my dad and was a daddy's girl. It broke my heart to lose him but losing my Jethro hurts way more. Jethro was the first pet I have lost. I have 5 other cats and they are comforting me.
