A very unfortunate occurrence caught me by complete surprise today. My sweet, sweet kitty (well, 13 year old kitty) had to be put down today. About a week ago she came inside from one of her daily outings with a gash on her back leg. I never once thought that her injury would lead to worse things, but it all went down hill from there. By Sunday she was incohearant and frail. Needless to say, upon a visit to the vet today we were told she was very ill and her vitals showed signs of oncoming kidney failure and diabetes. The decision was made to put her to sleep, and so it was done.

Everyone was very considerate today, and I appreciate it more than you know! In the midst of my mourning, one of my coworkers, Debi, mentioned an adorable idea that she had come up with when she lost her pet a few years back, and I had to share it!

In remembrance of a pet, use their collar or tags to create a Christmas ornament for your tree! This way, every Holiday season when your whole family, pets included, are gathered, you can remember your passed pet and smile :)
