My Chu Chu Bella

[sweetpea]

At 17:45 this evening, my darling Raspy-Bella lost her fight. For her last hour, I cradled her in my hands & held her to my chest. During that time I was gently telling her that we love her & that she was my darling little girl.

Here is one of the last photos of her, taken this weekend. No editing or anything needed, as she was just perfect.

It remains to be seen how Atilla, Cagney & more importantly, her boyfriend Bezukhov will cope with her passing. All I know is that during her last hour you could hear a pin drop (no mean feat for those noisy boys...) Five minutes after she passed, they started to tweet again.

Bye bye my darling little girl. Please watch over us & remember your happy times, as we all will.


My baby's gone....

As painful as it was & is, I am glad she had her flock (me included) around her & she wasn't on some operating table or surrounded by strangers.

Thank you Sue, Sarah, BudgiesBuddy & Tacey. I am so glad this forum is here for support. I'd be so lost without it!

I'm sorry for your loss x

So sorry that Raspy lost her fight, Sweetpea. Was worried for her all through the "egg" time, and was hoping she had won. Rest in Peace, Raspy Bella, just glad you got some final moments with her, Sweetpea. xx

She was a beautiful beautiful girl ...

Do hope you managed to get some sleep, Sweetpea, and that Atilla's infecction is clearing.

And that dear little Bezukhov is OK. (And BBC of course!)

Aw Sweetpea .. so very very sorry to hear Raspy is gone

[sweetpea]

Thank you for your support everyone. It is still hard to believe she has gone... I feel like I have been turned inside out...

Rose, Atilla is a little subdued today (although she perked up briefly at the sight of boiled egg!) I am keeping a close eye on her & making sure she drinks her antibiotics. BTW, the vet reckoned she was stressed over her sister's illness & that's why she got the infection.

I think Bezukhov will be okay. He looks lost when Cagney is snogging Atilla. He looks around like he knows he should be doing the same himself but where's his girl Raspy? Despite that, I am feeling positive that the flock of three will pull together.

MattJ, I am glad you have enjoyed reading my blog. Sadly, I need to update it with this latest news. I plan to do a series of "Remembering Raspy" posts.
