Although not a feline still very much a big part of my life and family. Ebony's age had suddenly caught up with her and her arthritis had been troubling her a bit more lately. Then out of the blue on the 10th December she became disorientated and her legs went from under her with no warning she had been following my every move around the garden as I fed and watered the cats out in the cattery pens. She regained her composer after a few minutes, but I decided to take her to the vets to just be sure, following a quick call to my vets and then trying to transition her to the car, Ebony decided that walking was not on the agenda and sat firmly down on the kitchen floor. I picked her up and was on route to the front door, when she sighed and and slipped away in my arms.
So sudden, but totally Ebony to the end! My heart broke that day as she was my shadow never far from my side and was my faithful companion and protector to the end. Ebony will be missed and it will take me a long time to come to terms with her passing but I am thankful that she made the decision to slip away and she did it with me by her side. She hated car journeys and also being prodded by the vets so that trip to the vets would have caused her undue stress when the end result was likely to be the same, the loss of my beloved dog Ebony. Their will only ever be one Ebony but she leaves a legacy of her own in the form of her daughters Kizzy, Darcey & Fenn, who also miss her dearly.
Ebony at her best on the left with her eldest daughter Kizzy and a young Lexx. I stumbled on this picture and although not a great one made me smile as this was Ebony typical Cavalier King Charles style fast asleep without a care in the world.
Sleep peaceful dear old girl!
