Farewell Puff

Friday evening Puff passed away peacefully in my lap. I could tell her time was near, so I was holding her while we watched TV. A little bit after 9:00PM she opened her eyes and meowed 3 times. We took a damp washcloth and cleaned up her face a bit since she'd been drooling. After we got her cleaned up, she started breathing really hard. She took perhaps a dozen deep breaths and then she passed away. It was a peaceful way to go, and I'm glad I was holding her when it all happened. We'll miss her cute and loveable personality, and we're so glad that the last two years here at the new house were better than those years at the old house. Her alergies disappeared after we moved here, and she had a backyard full of squirrels and other interesting things to explore...
