I don’t even know what to say about today. It was such a horrible day and I’m so sad. I almost gave up 365 because of it. I just didn’t want to enter today.
Everything was normal this morning. Honey and I cuddled in bed like we always do. I had a lot of work to do so I went down to my studio. I had to take Pearl to the vet at 2:00 and was running late so we rushed over with no time to spare.
When we got back around an hour later Honey didn’t meet us at the door. Where was Honey? I started looking around the house in all the usual places calling out her name. Finally, I went upstairs and called for her and heard a distressed howl. I found her laying on her side drooling and gasping for air. I scooped her up and frantically rushed her to MedVet, the emergency animal hospital by our house. They whisked her in without me and I waited in the car because of Covid restrictions. Ande joined me and we waited…and waited…and waited.
Finally, the vet called us. She said they were having trouble stabilizing her and thought it was a blood clot that went from her heart to her lungs blocking air for her to breathe. She finally let us come in to see her. They had Honey wrapped in thermal blankets and had her head in an oxygen cone. I said her name and she turned toward me and gave me a silent meow. I rubbed her ears, told her how much I loved her and gave her a kiss on the top of her head. That was the last time we saw her. She died of cardiac arrest a couple hours later.
My heart is broken and I don’t understand. She was fine this morning and by 7:00 she was gone. I don’t know how I’m gonna get over this one. Why did she come into our lives bringing so much joy only to be taken away so suddenly? I will never be the same.
Ande misses her. Pearl misses her. Her friends miss her. I miss my little Honey Bunny. Life just isn’t as sweet without a little Honey in it.
