My sweet Gretta went to heaven Sunday!

we woke up this morning and Gretta lost total use of her back legs. She also lost control of her bowels. So we made the choice to have her put down!

I will miss you so much my sweet baby!!

This is a picture of her an hour before the vet came, as you can see her back legs she can't sit well.

Here is her grave that we did for her!

So sorry for your loss. She's up over the Rainbow Bridge, running and playing and pain free......she'll be there waiting for you.

Run free & keep an eye on Mommie, Greta

I am so sorry; had a cat that threw a clot and had that happen out of the blue, what a heartbreak. Run free, Gretta.
