Esme crossed the Bridge yesterday. [View All]

It was time.
She'd been on a slow decline, but herself. Sunday she went outside and got 'stuck' in the neighbor's yard- she was too weak to get over the fence and I had to rescue her and bring her back inside.
I think I knew then.
She was having trouble getting up on the chair into my lap (I've been absolutely enervated with a mean cold for about 4 days) where we'd been comforting each other. By Monday she was having trouble walking and she seemed disoriented.

I promised her I wouldn't make her drag it out if she got 'stuck'. We went to the vet in the afternoon and my Sainted Vet allowed me to stay with her right through the end.

It's a bit of a relief, because one way or another, this has been staring me in the face for three months (ever since her kidneys went so bad so quickly).
Now it's over with...but oh, I'm going to miss my Ezzle-may...:cry:
