RIP Chelsea

Farewell, dear cousin Chelsea.

Sad news. Mom's brother called her today, and one of the things he told her was that poor cousin Chelsea was "put to sleep" last week. She wouldn't eat, wanted to stay under the bed, was down to less than five pounds, and was extremely weak.

Here is an undated photo of floofy Chelsea that Mom used for a "Widebody Wednesday" post last year.

This photo was from a visit a year ago.
Mom took this photo when she last visited. At that time Chelsea was just a shadow of herself.

She and Mom shared the same March birthday. Chelsea was well loved and lived to the age of 15.

Good bye,

Love,

No Longer a Widebody for Wednesday

Today we present our oldest cousin Chelsea, who is 14. Last year we featured her as an example for Widebody Wednesdays. Unfortunately, Chelsea was diagnosed with kidney disease a couple of months ago. As soon as Mom saw her, she knew without anyone telling her. Chelsea's eyes told the story, and her weightloss was apparent. It's fortunate that she had a few extra pounds on her. Her appetite is poor, but she's hanging in there, and her family is trying to feed her only the best of canned food. We wish her the best.

For the lady of our friends; Grr, Midnight, and Cocoa; we present another photo of floofy Sophie, Chelsea's much younger sister.
