Crazy Cat Lady-Minus One Cat

Got a call this morning from the vet. London died within minutes of going under anesthesia. He said it looked like there was fluid in her lungs that we didn't know about. They tried to save her, but couldn't. I am surprised by how hard I am taking this. I have only 15 minutes before I pick Eve up from school, and I have to pull it together. Brian and I will tell the kids after the boys get home today. I'm dreading it. I'm not only so sad that London isn't coming home, but terrified of telling my kids and seeing their reactions. They have all been praying so hard for her. This will be a very hard day for all of us. The house will be much quieter with only Swarley. We will miss you so much London.

Little London, we will miss you and your gorgeous self. I'm thinking about the fam right now and hope the kids will be ok. Remember our first pet loss, Brianna? Sad times, but you'll get through it.

Oh hon, I'm so sorry to hear London passed.
I personally think losing a pet can sometimes be harder then losing people because of how they bond so quickly with us.

HUGS to you and your family!!!

It is much harder to loose a family pet when you are the parent... I am sorry.

This is so tough! I hope that your family is doing OK. It was such a shock and so sad. The photos are a wonderful tribute.
