Goodbye, Cookie-Pie

A few months back I raised the question about what to do with my kitty when I went away. Well, unfortunately, that problem is solved, although I am completely devastated by the loss of Cookie.

When I came home from my 5 week European sojourn, Cookie was very sick.  She had lost a ton of weight, was not eating and was not pooping.  I took her to the vet, and was told she had a mass/tumor growing inside her.

Cookie passed away at home with me on Thursday night. She was with me for over 15 years and I am so sad and lonely without her.
