We have had a hard start to the new year.
We lost our little Annie to cancer January 11th. We fought for three years
but after two major surgeries, which she came through well, it returned with
a vengeance.
I have sat down to write a tribute to her with some of her best photos but can't do it.
It's too soon for me. I have put a photo and small tribute on instagram.
I've been sick for a month now with a deep chest cold.
I'm sure the stress of losing our Annie only added to the
time it's taking to heal.
Wilson has been lost without her but it only would have been
worse without Cora. She has kept him busy to some degree; she does her best.
I hope everyone has had a good start to the new year.
I'm going to just wipe January off the calendar and pray for
a better month ahead.
I'll be by to visit.
hugs, Deb

I'm sorry about your Annie...I follow your blog...diana
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry. I loved Annie as well. This kind of loss takes time to begin to heal and it doesn't help that you are physically ill too. You have all my sympathies and love.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. As a true pet lover, I'm sure this has been difficult for you. We lost our Samson in December. It is never easy saying goodbye to a "family member". Take care. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteDear Deb; The sad news about your little Annie wrenches at my heart--it seems so soon after Audrey's death. Experiences in the past with our rescue cats--two young brothers who died with cancer--makes me wonder if a rough start as strays leaves some cats vulnerable even though we bring them home and give them good care.
ReplyDeleteWe lost our Charlie-cat this week--a midnight attack by stray dogs. The grieving process takes a long time--we look for them in their familiar places. I wish we could 'save' them all.
I'm sure that watching Annie's decline has worn you out. I hope you soon feel better physically. When we lose a pet there is no time line for missing them
So sorry to hear about sweet Miss Annie. How lucky were her and Miss Audrey to have such a great life at your lovely home. Big hugs.

So deeply sorry to read about dear little Annie Deb. They leave such a huge gap in our lives - its hard to comprehend life without them sometimes. I hope your chest cold improves real soon Deb - you sound like you are a bit run down. Sending gentle hugs across the oceans & the miles xxx
ReplyDeleteHow sad to lose your darling Annie. I hope you heal from your long siege of a cold, losing her makes it more difficult to heal, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear about your sweet Annie.
ReplyDeleteShe had a great life with you and knew she was love.
We send comforting purrs and lots of love.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. XO
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, I am so so sorry. Your little Annie. You have really been through a lot, and I'm sure losing Annie did contribute to your being sick. Glad you have Wilson and that cute little Cora. Please take care of yourself. Love Henny
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. It is very hard to lose a furry friend, no matter what the circumstances. It sounds like she could not have had a better family to love her. We have lost a few as well over the years. Wishing you peace ... if not just yet, then as time goes by.
ReplyDeleteI've been following for a bit, just haven't been commenting.
Dearest Deb, I was just thinking of you yesterday realizing you had not posted in a while. Now I know why and am so very sorry to hear of Annie's passing. I know how precious she was and how hard you had worked to keep her going. Thankfully you will always have amazing memories of her time with you.
ReplyDeleteNow you must take care of yourself - not good to be under the weather for so long. Be well soon - will look forward to you sharing brighter days ahead.
Much love, Mary x

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this..
So very sorry to learn about Annie. Sending care and love, Michelle in Wellington, NZ
ReplyDeleteDeb...these posts are always so hard...haven't heard from you in awhile and am so very sorry about your loss of sweet Annie...please stay well...hugs and blessings.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, I am so sorry for your loss of Annie. She was certainly a most beloved member of the family & it will take time for that heart ache to reduce (we both know from experience it never goes completely). That nasty super cold virus that is going around is horrible & takes quite a lot to get rid of, I had for abut 6 weeks. Sending you lots of healing thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your dear little Annie. Wishing you well soon. J.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, I will miss photos and stories of our Annie. I'm so sorry you have to experience this loss when you aren't at full strength physically. I suspect you are right about the stress. Please do take care. I remember well the effect of losing Stimpy on Gypsy. I'm so glad Cora is hanging in there, working her magic -- on both you AND Wilson. Biggest hugs to you, my friend. We will look forward to the photos when and only when you are ready.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping Annie would continue to fight, but sometimes the fight is just too much. Please accept my condolences. Godspeed, Annie.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear this about Annie and your illness. I pray things will get better for you soon. SB
ReplyDeleteTake care, Deb. My sister has that same cold and it takes ages to shake. Keep warm and sleep as much as you can.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad about Annie. I can't give Timothy enough kisses and cuddles. We love them so, don't we?
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Deb, I can't believe that you lost Annie. I'm so sorry. We recently lost Tux (Jan.13th) and may lose Julie (his sibling) any day to this mysterious paralyzed jaw syndrome. Tux also had cancer, but did so well these last 3 years that we thought or hoped that he would continue to thrive. Whatever Julie has is puzzling to us and the Vets. It may be cancer too... but so far blood work and x-rays show nothing.
ReplyDeleteI just read this, and I am so so sorry to hear it. I know how much you loved her. I know there are no words that really help, but I am thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteHaving lost our Angel late last week, we are very aware of the pain of losing our kitty; I am so very sorry. RIP Angel Annie.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry about your kitteh cat Annie, I just read your blog today and it is jan. 27th 2020~ Condolences and prayers for you to heal and have some comfort in the loss of your beloved pet..I get to read your blog when I can, I am so very sorry..much prayers and love sent to you from mjs and es in the USA!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI cry with your family every time you lose a pet. Your love of this shines through in your posts. Gail
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I just found your blog again. A idiot at work crashed my computer and lost all my bookmarks. My old timers made me not remember the name of most of the blogs I read. I'm sorry about your sweet Annie.
