Peggy Sue's Thoughts

I had to say goodby to my family today

When I wrote my diary entry last night, we all thought that I was going to be able to stay with my family another few weeks or months. That is not what was meant to be. I woke up this morning and found it very difficult to breathe. Mommy doubled my medications to see if that would help. It didn't. I kept following Mommy and Daddy around trying to take care of them like I always do, but I just could not breathe well enough to do my job. I finally laid down and looked at my Daddy and told him that I was very tired and that I needed to rest. Mommy and Daddy took me to the vet and we said our goodbye to each other. My Daddy was my special person in my life and it was very hard to leave him. My Mommy kissed me on my nose and said that it is now my job to take care of my brothers and sisters that were waiting for me in heaven. My Mommy's Uncle Terry is waiting for me too. He loved me very much. I hate having to leave my sister Gloria. She has never been alone without me since she came to live with us. She still has Harley Dude, Pugsley and Maynard G Krebbs to take care of her though. I will be watching over everyone from high above, so don't worry about me.
I loved my life after I was rescued and now there will be so much to do to still care for my family left behind.

Health News

Well, I have to update everyone that I have not been doing so well the last couple of months. Mommy took me to the Vet to see why I was losing weight so quickly, and why I have been so tired. It seems that I have congestive heart failure and fluid around my heart and lungs. There also seems to be some spots on my heart and lungs. My kidneys are having some problems holding my water till I get outside sometimes too. I am now taking blood pressure medication once a day and lasik twice a day. I am breathing quite a bit better now. I do stress out very easily and then find it difficult to breathe. I am trying to maintain my cool and keep things in order around here.
Mommy and Daddy are very worried about me. One thing in my favor is I get to eat anything and everything I want!
My sister Gloria is not doing really well either, so we are taking care of each other.

New RV!

Mommy and Daddy decided that we all missed going on adventures in an RV. They decided that Gloria and I needed to get on the road again. We checked out our new home on the road. It is not nearly as big as the one we had before, and we can't drive this one, but we are going to enjoy it.
We have been to alot of places and want to go again. Mommy won't leave us in a kennel or with a pet sitter. She says it is because we are older and she needs us with her. We like that plan! The cats will stay home and party while we are gone. They like that plan! Check out the pictures of us in the RV!
