We'll Miss You, Sheba

Friday, 11 May 2007 | Family

Today, we put our beloved Sheba to sleep. She was thirteen years old. Our veterinarian said her liver had stopped working and Sheba looked very yellow and jaundiced. She had not eaten or drank much in the past few days. When I picked her up yesterday, she was so light. It was as if she weighed nothing.

Taffy kept sniffing Toni's skirt which had the scent of Sheba. Taffy couldn't seem to understand why Sheba didn't come back home. Toni said Taffy was wailing this morning when she left with Sheba. We all miss Sheba very much, including Taffy. It will be hard to get used to her absence in our house. There's definitely a palpable void.

Aloha Mike - you have our deepest condolences at this most difficult time. When we had a similar sadness I found
great comfort through the Cummings Veterinary School at
Tufts University, they have a Pet Loss Support program which includes a hotline for you to speak to vet students
about whatever you want to regarding your loss. We give regularly to support them and it's a great program. Our
thoughts are with you. A Hui Hou........

marianne - Thank you. I wasn't aware of Cummings Veterinary School. I'll be sure to keep them in mind for our family and my friends.
