Sepia Saturday

Over & Out,

Matt

 

**Bell Fur Zoo Mama Notes**

We were outside visiting Ginger and Matt decided to bask in the sunshine. I was so shocked he let me get from Ginger’s grave all the way to him with the camera and didn’t get up and walk away. My boy hates the flashy thing. LOL

Throwback Thursday

This is me in 2012 helping Momma sort box tops for brothers school.

Wordless Wednesday

Visiting Sisser

Black & White Sunday

Sepia Saturday

These are the last pictures we took with Sisser.

Mama says we were so sweet her last week. I would stay real close to her and give her gentle kisses (no bites) and gentle taps (no claws). Anytime I would hear Mama crying I would come and give her soft head butts and purrs. I even tried to lick mama's hair and gots it stuck in my mouth a few times!

And brother Matt would come sit close to Mama and give Ginger gentle kisses on her forehead which he rarely does. We call them run by kisses cause he would run up sniff her and give her a gentle kiss then run off. It was really cute. He was also pretty protective of her in the yard too.

We just want to say how blessed we are to have such sweet blogging friends who stop to leave such sweet comments and give us so much love and prayers.

Soft purrs and licky kisses,

Matilda

One Of The Worst Days Of My Life

Yesterday was heartbreaking, terrifying, bittersweet…any any other word for just plain awful.

My baby girl went to puppy heaven.

Ginger went downhill in a matter of a week and we found out she had liver cancer this past Saturday. All her labs earlier this year came back normal. She still had a sludgy gallbladder but her levels were good and we still suspected a bit of cushings. Her weight had dropped a bit at a time but we all chalked it up to old age. I wish I had seen the signs earlier and really known what to look for but since our furbabies can’t talk I just had no clue. She still did all her favorite things which consisted of eating, swimming, sleeping and eating some more.

I just can’t believe this was last Christmas…

I am broken without her. I just really don’t know how to function right now. Not even sure why I am typing this post….

Maybe its theraputic??

All I can hope is that she met up with my old best friend Malibu

And all of my other fur babies I had as a child/young adult.

and maybe she will get to visit with my Great Aunt Helen who loved her so much and would always play tug of war with her. Ginger never gave up her toy.

I will miss her snuggles

and my swimming buddy

and Daddy’s fire buddy

Brad made her the most beautiful grave right out by the fire pit. She loved to sit out there with her Daddy.

We did all her favorite things before she passed. Sat out in the sun and let it hit her face. Ate a #cheeseburger and fries from ickdonalds even though she could only eat a little bit of it. Gave her a nice warm bath in my garden tub so she could feel like she was in the swimming pool. Put on our fire DVD while we snuggled on the floor so she could hear the crackling fire.

She was ready but I would have forever not been ready.

Please keep the prayers coming.

Ginger Crossed Over Rainbow Bridge

Higgins mom here.....

I am so sad to have to share that Ginger ran over Rainbow Bridge this morning. 

 She did indeed have liver cancer and fought the good fight until the very end.  Her mom is so brokenhearted, and we are grieving with her today.  

Ginger was such a spunky and lively girl who loved her mama and her family so very much!

You will be truly missed Ginger Bell!
