Oh my Cinnamon. I can’t believe you are gone. Your health has been so good these last 16 years that I believed you would live until you were 20! When I woke up on Saturday morning, and got the treats as usual, you were the last one in the room, which has happened in the past.
When you walked out and your neck was tilted I was concerned but thought you would be okay because you have given me similar scares in the past. So I kept my plans of going to the movies, followed by a day spa, and then dinner. When I returned home and you looked worse, I felt so terrible that I had left you.
I am so sorry my baby. When the vet said you had a stroke because you had a hyperthyroid, as well as high blood pressure which popped the retina behind your eye filling it with blood, I could not stand the thought of you having any pain at all. The vet said I could put you in the hospital and she would try to shrink your thyroid, but I know you have dignity and would not want to spend time away from home and your treats and I know you had to have been in pain with the popped eye.
Cinnamon I miss you so much and wanted you to live but did not want you to suffer so I made the decision to put you down. I am so sorry my baby. You will always be in my heart. You were the sweetest baby on earth. Till we meet again.
Love you forever,
