It is with the greatest sadness that I have to say that out little Nanita passed away last night. She was just over a year old and had developed lymphoma which grew quite quickly. Most of her life was spent getting up to mischief and her nickname was Troublemaker. She was her Daddy's girl and

I am so sorry to hear that Elisabeth. I suffered a similarly painful loss back in June and I can only say that grieve as much as you need to, and don't apologize for it. The pain lessens with time. 3 On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 3:50 AM, Elisabeth Eastley eeast...@gmail.com wrote: It is with the

I am sorry to read this, Elisabeth. I’ve always loved the busy ones and mischief makers. You did all that you could for her. That’s clear from your first post. In her own way, Nanita knew this, too. Take care. Lance On Oct 22, 2014, at 2:50 AM, Elisabeth Eastley eeast...@gmail.com wrote:

Elisabeth, Thank-you so much for sharing your story. I too have Felv + kitty of 6 mos. We’ve nicknamed him Slayer of Dragons! We’re all having so much fun with him. I do keep in the back of my mind that his life will be short. Trying like hell to just enjoy the moments I have with him. So

Elisabeth, Please try to take comfort in the knowledge that Nanita would not have had any life without you and your husband. She had people who loved her, and that is the most important thing. You're very special. It's been almost five years since our Harley died at around 18 months of age.
