Until We Meet Again

 Isabella

January 10, 2006 - January 23, 2024


We're sad to announce that Isabella went to the Rainbow Bridge last Tuesday. She made it to 18 and had been doing well until we woke up on Monday to her being ill. The vet treated her with fluids for low blood pressure and low glucose and she was well enough to return home that evening. The next morning she was showing some of the same signs and when the vet called saying her white blood count was high and she wanted to do more tests, we chose to not put her through all that. Such a hard decision but we know it was the right one. She is once again with her sisfurs Sadie and Angel. We know they're cuddling in a sunpuddle waiting until we meet again. For now, our hearts are broken.

xoxo
Mommy Sharla and Lexi

So, so sorry. A hard decision to make but the one decision all of us pet parents may have to make at some point in their lives. The kindest and most loving decision ever. Know they will all be waiting for you at the other side of that bridge with clear bright eyes, tails wagging and running to greet you. She was amazing....as amazing as her Momma and Daddy are. Hugs sweet friend, big ones.

Zane and I are so very sorry. I was thinking about you the other day.

We have two new kitties here. Lil' Bit and Squeaker. We'll share them with you.

Big healing hugs, my friend. ♥

We've come full circle - of LIFE - with The Beaded Tail - I can still recall when the day NAS got her wings - I mean I can still see the parking lot at The GKP as I attempted to swallow the news - and still have some pictures on the laptop of The Mommy and NowAngelSadie -

I'm sure NAK found her - and now they watch over us -

It's now NAA's turn to welcome NAI -

Once again, the most loving of gifts comes with the largest price to our hearts -

Lexi - please give Mommy and Daddy some extra Golden Love -

And remind them: It's not FURever...it's just...for now -

H&K&W,
Willow & Phyll

I'm so very sorry, Sharla. You made the best and kindest decision for Isabella, but I know how little comfort that offers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you grieve. ❤️

I'm so very sorry, Sharla. It's not easy, but letting go is the kindest gift we can give a beloved and cherished pet. Isabella will forever be in your heart. xoxo - Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang.

Sweet Isabella, find all the sunpuddles at the Bridge and rest well with your siblings. I'm so sorry for your loss. Keep all the good memories close and safe in your heart.

Dearest Sharla and Lexi,
Such a sad tiding to read here and yes, both of us know to well what it takes to decide for not putting them through any more suffering.
Isabella lived a full and long life in happiness!
Such a sweet face she had and no doubt a loyal kitty.
It is rough when we're suddenly left with only the memories...
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties

It's the hardest decision to make, but for a very-oldster, the kindest and most loving decision. What a beautiful girl she was and is, and will always be. Godspeed, Isabella.

You are undertaking the long journey through grief. While others may share that grief we all walk it alone. There are no right or wrong paths, no proper way to carry oneself, no set amount of time to complete it. Some steps will come easier than others. There will be rogue waves of grief that you won’t see coming, and knock you back days. But you will come through it. If you get lost let us know. We have been through it before and we might be able to help you find the way out
