What a sad day at the Remaley house today. Ben and the boys took Bailey to the vet to be put her to sleep. A couple weeks ago, we noticed that she was losing some weight. Ben had found a worm and we thought that she was losing weight from that. We treated her for that, but she wasn't getting any better. Ben and the boys took her to the vet on Tuesday and they tested her blood. She had feline leukemia and also a kidney failure. She was only 5lbs when they weighed her. Ben and I decided that putting her to sleep was the best option. This way she wouldn't suffer anymore. Ben and Lukas buried her under the tree in our yard while I was at work. Lukas is doing fine, though we don't think he truly understands. We will all miss her, especially Lukas. This was his kitty. He was always so good to her. He'd wipe the sleepers from her eyes everyday and she didn't mind at all. Ben already misses her chasing his shoe laces as he gets ready to leave for work. And, I'll miss her chasing and killing all the bugs in the house. We got her when Lukas was two. We never thought that she'd be one of the first cats to pass. The vet was really great with the kids and gave them a toy mouse to remember her and also her paw print. Ben forgot that, but he's going to call about it tomorrow. Here's some photos when she was a kitten.
