Kya, Grizzy's longtime housemate, sometime nemesis, died around 8:30 last night...Kya was 12 years old & had been sick with Cushings Syndrome & struggling with arthritis...the blessing was that everyone was home when Kya died so unexpectedly; my son & his girlfriend were getting ready to eat dinner in the kitchen & I was right next to Kya on the floor in my bedroom... she was watching tv with me & Grizzy was nearby, laying on my bed; it happened so fast, I still can't believe she's gone...death is so heartbreaking & emotional but you still have to make arrangements, pay for things, follow rules.... around 10:00 p.m. my son & I wrapped Kya in a sheet & brought her to the veterinarian's office; Kya's body would be kept over- night in a freezer, in the morning someone would take her to the crematorium. I'll be able to pick up Kya's ashes at my vets office in approximately 4 weeks. It was so hard to leave her there & nothing at home is the same without her but I know from experience how it goes...we'll all be fine...we are so very grateful that we had Kya in our lives...my son believes that she's playing ball with Gramp, my Dad, in heaven along with Daisy, the dog he had when he was growing up & Fuzzy& Flopsy our cats ....his girlfriend blessed Kya with the holy water she blessed her dog, Dusky with, when he died of cancer & said a little prayer for her & Grizzy's not quite sure where Kya is & keeps looking for her...what I know for sure is that we all miss her & love her...forever & ever xoxoxo

ReplyDeleteAuntie and Mike,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Kya. She lived a long happy life with you guys and is now pain free and barreling around in heaven (where all dogs go of course!).Keep the memories of her close to your hearts forever and know you she is always with you.
Love,
Yelly xoxox
Thanks Danielle...Kya's a member of Grampy's Good Dog Club now...an eternity of belly rubs & being fed the crusts of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches...🐾xoxo
ReplyDeleteBye bye Kya. So sorry for your loss Helene. Happy to see a picture of both dogs.
ReplyDeleteHi Levonne, thanks so much for your goodbye, Kya was a great girl....I don't have many pictures of Kya & Grizzy together because they never became good friends & Griswald was careful to keep his distance from Kya most of the time...I'll miss her...
ReplyDeleteHello to beautiful Gingee & the new dog that I saw you adopted recently last time I visited your blog
