Cleo, my grand old lady

[velma]

Not unexpectedly but still sadly, Cleo passed away just before the weekend. She was about 2years 8months so a good old age. She'd been getting old for a while and her kidneys were a bit weak but in the last month she'd been very wobbley and doddery. She was getting a bit thinner but was still eating and drinking normally even though her fur was getting a but tufty. She was still interested in coming out to say hello every day but in the last week she got very thin so I'd decided to get through the weekend and then take her to the vet. In the end she went on her own terms. She passed away in her sleep, curled up in her nest. We buried her in the garden yesterday, near my dear old Hector.

Thank you for being such a lovely old lady. My granny ham. The first syrian I'd had in twenty years and the face in the pet shop that made me realise I wasn't only a dwarf ham keeper. Play well at the bridge, my dear.

I'm so sorry velma, Cleo really did have a good long life with you & her loss is so sad but I'm glad she was able to go into her forever sleep quietly & peacefully at home.
She had a very special place in your heart & your life & I can imagine how much you will be missing her.

Run free & play well at the bridge Cleo.

I am truly so sorry for your terrible loss, Velma. Cleo was such a lovely lady, and I can tell that she was very, VERY loved. Please remember that she will be with you forever in your heart and your memories. Gain peace in the knowledge that she is no longer in any pain or discomfort. She can now run free in the Rainbow Bridge with her other furry friends. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during your time of sadness. Take care, Velma.
