Last day of last month on the way to work and when i turned to get on the A75 at Gretna. I always look left and right but to the right i could see a animal laying there with its tail up. A lorry was heading towards Dumfries came along but went round it. As i went over the road to head towards Carlisle i could then see it was a cat and i stopped straight away went over to the badly injured cat and blood all over the road . I lifted the cat to the side of the road but it passed away. Took the cat to my vets and there was no chip and to now no one has come forward to say it was there cat. As i was at the vets i said about my Teetha not being to good with not eating right etc. I kepted on bringing Teetha down to get a drink and air but she got gradually weaker and not eating and just sleeping more. Yesterday i called the vets and got a appointment for today. Last night i was sitting on my couch talking Teetha like i have done for over 15 years and her voice gone but her mouth was taking in silent to me. All the years me and Teetha always had chin wag with each other through the day. But this morning she tried to eat but couldnt hardly stand up she went out in back garden and her backs legs just give way . As i watch her and she struggle to get to her scratch post and tried to scratch it and she did it once and her strength give in on her legs to hold her up. As i went over to her she looked at me in the eye to say its time to go . I said you of to the docs and will get what we can to help you get better and back on your feet. We got the vets on time and a wee chin wag with each other. In vets the doc said to me checking Teetha it was a tumor in her stomach what really big and it was stopping her breath etc. As i look at the Teetha in eye she open and shut her mouth to say like she had enough. Tear in my eyes and as lend forward to her she give me her last cuddle like she always did. The vet said nothing we can do and dont know how long she would last as the tumor was killing her . There is nothing we could do and i had to make the decision to let go as i couldnt put her through anymore pain for a short time before the tumor killed her. So i had to let Teetha go the safe place with out ant pain. After 15 years we said goodbye to each other it broke my heart. When i got home had a heart to heart with Tabitha telling her that her mum and has to a safe place. It will take a long time for me and Tabitha to get use of Teetha not being around our house but always be in our hearts. Teetha has now joined Flicker and Jerry lee in the safe place and always will be in my heart for ever.
