Ellie, The Smaller Catican Guard, 2010-2015

This has been a pretty brutal week here in the Catican Compound. Her Serene Furriness had to be put down on Monday and her smaller Guard had to be put down today. While Katie The Cat was 16 and her passing was somewhat expected, Ellie was 5 and stricken with sudden, acute kidney failure. We never discovered the cause, it just wiped out her kidneys and that was that.

She was a Chihuahua-Cocker mix and weighed 12 pounds. She should have lasted another 10-12 years.

I'm at a loss for a eulogy right now.

On the way home from the groomers, looking mah-velous, dahling!

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry. That is a lot to deal with in a week. Hugs to you and yours. I know they'll both be sorely missed.

Oh no! So sorry to hear about the loss of Ellie. Too much for one week.
