I was laying on my bed watching TV, with my old girl, Gizmo snuggling in for a smooch.

We'd been there for a while, when all of a sudden she started twitching, she got up and her back legs wouldn't work, sorta like a fit of some kind. She finally stopped layed down, and went back to purring and enjoying the pats. But i had a feeling she wasn't right. She was getting more and more sluggish, then she started stress panting. She kept trying half-heartedly to get up, she'd then lay back down, and keep purring. She got up and went to run off the bed, but her legs just would not work, i tried to catch her, but she went head over heels off the bed and crashed onto the floor. By this stage she was very stressed and scared and so was i. I made a scramble to pick her up and she kept trying to run, but she would just cartwheel, nothing was co-operating with her.

I could not leave her in that state til the morning, so i made an emergency call to my vet, who said he'd meet me at the surgery.

Unfortunately Gizmo had a stroke, she was getting worse as time went on, so a decision was made to send her over the rainbow bridge.

I miss her terribly, she would have been 14 this year, and she was my darling girl.

So i'm now sitting here bawling my eyes out & my girl is buried with her son. I will be forever thankful for the fact that we got quality time prior and that she was not outside alone during this. I was with her to the end

RIP Gizmo my sweet!!
