Our Sweet Trixie Has Gone To The Bridge

SXMGirl — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 10:54:07 GMT

Our 17(ish) rescue, Trixie, joined my beautiful Darcy at the Bridge just after midnight. She was diagnosed with kidney cancer a little over a month ago, which seemed to start as a cough. We had her for 10 years, and it would be hard to find a sweeter cat that had spent the first third of her life on the streets. We got her for free from the rescue because she was not a pretty cat and no one really wanted her. Their loss. It is now our loss.

i would say that preserving her life was a gain - for her and for you. she is always your special treasure whose presence and memory are wrapped securely around your heart-- forever. rejoice in that gift as you weep tears of loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It was wonderful for both of you that you rescued her. It's always so hard to lose our very special pets.

@SXMGirl

When I read that nobody wanted to adopt

Trixie because she wasn't a pretty cat I

literally started to cry.Anyone who bases

their adoption choice of an animal who

is in desperate need of an forever home

on it's looks instead of seeing it's beautiful

soul shouldn't have a pet at all.

My heart goes out to you on the

loss of your beloved girl and I can

relate to the pain and the heartache

that you're dealing with as I've been

down that same dark road many times

before and will be again at some

point as I'm Mommy to four kitties

...all rescues.

Even though Trixie's early life

was pure H*ll the rest of her

life was like Heaven on Earth

because you gave her the loving

forever home that she deserved

to have.

Please find solace and comfort in

the fact that Trixie always knew

how much you loved her,that she

is now at peace and is happily running

through the sunlit meadows of that

most blessed place on the other side

of The Bridge with Darcy and all of her

new friends.

(((((SXMGIRL & HER PRECIOUS TRIXIE)))))

@SXMGirlTrixie found her forever home with you that was filled with love and security, something she never would of had if not for the kindness you have in your heart. As a animal lover and fellow pet rescue mom, I know the special love these recue animals give back to us.

Sending hugs and condolences to you and your family, sxmgirl. Your capacity to see the beauty in Trixie speaks volumes about the beauty in your heart. So many cats out there in need of homes and you and Trixie were blessed to find each other. Take good care of yourself!!

Oh I am so sorry for what you have to experience right now. Been there too many times myself, and know the pain it causes.

Just know you made that baby's life so much better, and her life was so enriched (as was yours, I'm sure) by the love and kindness you bestowed upon her.

Every time I have to deal with what you are, I say 'no more', but another (or another two or three) come my way and I begin the process again. The circle of love.

I hope your pain eases quickly and you have more fond memories soon, rather than the pain of the loss.

I am so very sorry that your beloved Trixie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. You gave her a wonderful and loving life.

I do understand the hole in your heart right now. But, with time, you will feel better and fill that hole with warm memories. Someday, I believe, you will be together again.

Years ago we also adopted a kitty who “wasn’t pretty.” She was found near a dumpster in the middle of a New England winter. She was old, very thin, with no teeth. Snowball was such a loving kitty, who was our adored baby while she was with us. When Snowbie crossed the Bridge, what saved me was the thought we will someday be together again.

I'm so sorry your precious Trixie has physically left but her sweet spirit and tender love will always be with you. I'm so glad that you chose her. It deeply pains me when some cats and dogs are overlooked because they are not deemed "pretty" or "beautiful." I had a short-haired " plain" brown tabby who was smart and affectionate with a beautiful spirit. She was very special. She crossed the Bridge many years ago but memories of her make me smile. I'll be thinking of you.

My deepest condolences. I'm sure Trixie knew how much you loved her and would thank you for giving her such a good home.

I am so sorry for your loss, @SXMGirl . This is the hard part of loving a pet. As difficut as it is, most of us would never not have a pet because of it. I am sure that Trixie was thankful for your love and kindness.

Oh @SXMGirl I'm so sorry for your loss. I bet Trixie is in heaven telling all the others about the great life that she had with your family

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been a cat mom for decades and it is always heartbreaking when we lose one. You gave her a loving home for many years and I hope that will give you some comfort at this time. Take care.

i got a boston from a shelter . he had been overlooked because he looked like a pitbull and no one wanted him. he was on deathrow when i got him. he was my treasure. i had to have him put to sleep because he got colon cancer in aug of 2017 but i still miss him. he was a joy.

i donot understand why people have to have a pet based on looks. the humane society here had apoodle that was turned over to them because it did not match the color of their new rug.
