RIP CeeCee

Paige enters our lives. CeeCee exits.



We put CeeCee to sleep this morning after her health took a sudden and ironic nosedive. Following a not uncommon bout with diarrhea last weekend, she stopped eating, got so weak she could hardly walk and, as Sarah put it, lost her spark. At least she got a chance Saturday to take one final sunbath in our familiar back yard.

I could write a post the length of a novella about her life and its nine lives of escapes and escapades. Suffice it for now to say squirrels, pigeons, seagulls and uncooked refrigerated turkeys everywhere are safer today.

Was CeeCee 15?
We'll be telling stories about her forever. Pinning dogs twice her size, climbing on the bus one afternoon at the bus stop where you board for your early morning commute, finding new ways to escape from the yard, coming in to sleep on our bed when we visited, and many more. CeeCee moves on to a much more comfortable life in Pet Heaven, joining our other beloved family pets.
