I knew this post was coming, but I hoped it wouldn’t be so soon. Penny was so weak this morning that she could only walk about 2 feet before needing to rest so we knew we had to end her suffering.
I will write more about her soon, but I need some time. Lorianne will still host the fill-ins, and I will visit you all eventually. Thank you all again for your purrs and prayers. We are thankful for the bonus time we had with her and for the 14 years she was with us.
Thank you for the beautiful badge Ann.












I am so very sorry to hear the sad new and am a bit of a loss for words. Please know we are thinking of you as you miss your most beautiful Penny. Love and hugs from all of us.
Ellen, I am so very sorry to see this. Bless her heart for the courage she had all these years.
So, so sorry to hear this of having to say goodbye to your dear Penny. Heartbreaking when they leave us. She was a favorite of mine to see photos of and posts you’d write about her. May she Rest In Peace (((hugs))) <3
Big healing hugs, Ellen. So hard when they leave us. ♥♥♥

Oh no. I am so sorry. I was so hoping she had more time. ((hugs)) and purrs.
Farewell, Angel Penny.
Hugs and purrs; this is too sad.
Oh no! This was not what we expected. Oh Ellen…we are so very sorry. Sending hugs, purrs and lots of love. ~Sue and the cats
I am so sorry, Ellen. The comfort comes from knowing how much she was loved with you and your Husband. She wanted to stay but is was time and she had two people who loved her till the end. Every cat, every pet, every animal deserves that.
Thank you for loving her and thank you for sharing her with us ❤️
We are so sorry to read this. She certainly knew love, and that love came from so many of us who only met her through your writings. Purrayers for so many good memories to help with the pain of her loss.
we r so sorry fur your loss of pretty Penny
Ellen and David, This totally breaks my heart. 💔 I know how difficult that decision was. The kitties send lots of purrs, and I am sending love and hugs as you grieve. We will all miss this super sweet girl.
