Bonehead's Traveling People

Our Bonehead has passed away. The I.V. treatment didn't work on her yesterday and her kidneys just shut completely down right in front of our eyes. She fought this but she was too old and too weak. It happened so fast that we just couldn't believe it. We both knew she was dying and we both believe she knew it too. She just gave up. We called the vet and drove back to Blythe to have her "put down". It was the right thing to do. Renal failure is an awful thing for which there is no cure. Everyone who has been around us and Bonehead knows how much we loved this cat and how much she loved us. She "ran" our lives and we loved every minute of it. I just know we did the right thing. I just know it. I gotta believe that. Our rig feels so empty without her. She and Dan went for walks every night and last night she just wasn't there, so me and him went on the walk together. We went to every bush and critter hole and tree that she stopped by. She had a routine to her walk and we followed it last night after we came back from the vet. She went walking the same route the night before she died. One night she is there, the next night she is gone. Its very hard to write this. The tears are flowing. But this is my way of dealing with the pain of loosing her......She orginally was my sister's cat (thus her middle name became Christine) so she has been in my family from the beginning of her life. We were fortunate enough to inherite her back in 2002 and she instantly "fell in love" with Dan. They became best buddies and inseperable...........She will be creamated and we will leave a little bit of her here behind in Quartzsite out by her favorite places. Then she will travel back home with us to be by her old "partener in crime", Sheba, as they grew up together for 14 of her years.
