Oh, no Robin!!!! I'm so sorry!

 

Loca has always been one of my GT faves. I'm so sorry she had to leave you. :cry1

Her life these past 5 years has been a tribute to what is possible with love and an open mind. Especially an open mind. Robin adopted a pig in a poke, so to speak -- from the wrong picture, to the . . . ahem . . . little white lies about gentle, sedate, cat-safe brood mommas who would never ask for much besides a nice meal and a soft place to sleep . . .

 

Robin, you gave her everything she asked for and laughed when she took extra. You made all her dreams come true.

 

Wild thing, loca Loca, I loved you too. No wonder there was all that lightning Monday night. Godspeed.

What a great post, Jey... and I agree!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your special girl. I always enjoyed your stories of Loca's exploits. I remember when she arrived at her new home and the challenges you both went through. Godspeed to the Bridge, Loca.

Awwww ... Robin. :bighug

 

I've only just seen this. I don't spend much time on GT at the moment, still getting over the loss of both of mine, and I could not believe it when I saw Loca's name come up in Remembrance. I went back and read through the latest update thread and I shook. It is all too familiar. The wrong diagnosis, the wrong medication, the 'E-vet' who finally diagnosed the problem, poor Jack falling, like Loca, and heroic measures, too little too late ... even the shoulder worries. :cry1

 

I so feel for you, my friend. It will take you a while, no doubt, but you will come to realise that none of this was your fault. You trusted the professionals to do the right thing for you and your fur-baby and you loved her.

 

Many, many hugs to you. Be gentle with yourself, you did your best. I am so, so sorry. :bighug

Thank you all so much for the good wishes. I'm sure I haven't felt the impact of her loss yet, so knowing I can lean on so many of you is comforting. I wanted her to be with me forever :cry1

This is such a great shot of your wild child - I can just see her at the bridge, causing all sorts of chaos!

 

Sending lots of healing energy your way. Scritches to Phene.
