Today was the day we helped Eunice cross over. She had declined pretty rapidly the last two days. She wasn’t scared of the vet doing in-house euthanasia. Eunice went peacefully in her pink bed with her favorite banana toy. I miss you so very much, big girl.

Eunice is our sweet, sunshine girl. Always loving and our house guard from all neighborhood critters. We found out Friday she has high grade GI lymphoma, which is pretty aggressive in cats. We’re having in-home euthanasia done Tuesday in lieu of putting her through intensive chemotherapy and the stress of constant vet visits for maybe 2-3 more months. I absolutely cannot do that to this sweet girl. I feel intense guilt, but cannot keep her here and in pain to assuage my guilt over not seeing the symptoms until too late. Know that you are our one and only Eunice and will forever be in our hearts. Love you, my sunshine girl! Lyrics changed for how I’ve sung this song to her: You are my Cheun-Cheun, my only Cheun-Cheun You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear Cheuny, how much I love you Please don't take my Cheuny away The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried — That last bit hits so hard as we approach her final days.
