Chalupa was dying from Lymphoma and her vet put her to sleep Sunday night, July 13, 2014.
Thank you to everyone who wrote after Chalupa left. Really appreciate everything you said and read what you said that night and it did help. I'm very sorry I did not reply sooner. Everyone here has helped us so much. I've learned a lot from all of you.
Some things must say to the Chalupa.
I'm sorry Chalupa that we couldn't go outside the night before you left because it was raining overnight and into the next day. You didn't seem to feel good anymore. I know it's not fair you didn't know what was going to happen, if only I could tell you. Would you have felt like doing something if you knew? You definitely knew once we were at the vet. I felt like maybe we should have blindfolded you beforehand so you wouldn't see those syringes right in front of your face and you wouldn't have struggled.
Wish I had said goodbye to you at home one last time and talked with you but had to trick myself into bringing you to vet. Thought of it like we were going there to help you and hopefully give us more time. You were starting to eat again that weekend, of course.
My Chalupa, I apologize for working so much your last month of your life, really sad about that and mad at my job, and myself.
The night you died happened to be a perfect night for us to go outside, the moon was big and it was clear and cool out, just made me feel worse without you there. Still feel like what have I done? Got sick after you left, still sick.
Thank you to Chalupa for being my everything, my friend, family, and romantic one and only true love. You were all I ever needed and wanted. You had so many funny faces and loved your voice and all the sounds you made. You were supercool. Really wanted to try to help you live forever.
I am very thankful to Chalupa's veterinarian for making things go smoothly and very quickly. There is no way I would or could have done this without her there that night, and she knew exactly what to say. I love that lady, she's one of my favorite people in the world.
Chalupa was couple years old maybe and slightly overweight when I adopted her and came with warnings: "Does not like children or other pets." She stared me down and kept talking to me the moment she saw me, turned out she was just hungry but I took it as, "hey you, get me the hell out of here." She had been in the shelter the longest except for a young cat that would need to be on medication. Fell for her hard, wanted to protect her from the world, children and other pets. It was her voice, face, personality, she got me right away.
Chalupa and I were together for ten years. I watched over her and she watched over me. I never had children or other pets. Miss her terribly. Found some of her fur on her brush, it's like magical now. I love the Chalupa.
Sorry I'm not more of a writer, rather draw pictures.
If anyone is interested here are some pictures of the Chalupa, most of the photos were from 2009, 2010 in Berlin, Germany, some pics were in Chicago during the last 3 months of her life, where she died. After the last foto, there are also a bunch of video links.
Most videos were in Chicago during the last 3 months of her life, except one. Hope links work: or if its easier, here's my facebook, kind of, just use it for news feeds.
