Re: Rosie has pituitary Cushing's
Rosie has crossed the rainbow bridge. It was nothing to do with the Cushings, I hasten to assure anyone reading this. She would have been 17 on July 29th; she had become quite weak and wobbly. I hoped we would have one last summer together. But the day we arrived at camp June 28th, she came for her evening treats when I called her, but not when I called her at bedtime. I notified everyone I could think of, including the lake association page on Facebook, which is how they knew to call me. She was found floating in the lake by two fishermen on July 5th. They took a picture and brought it to me; I identified her immediately. They kindly brought her to me and buried her for me. I think she went for a drink of water after her treats, as was her habit, and she collapsed and drowned. I am broken with grief. She got me through losing my mother and brother two years ago and now I am more alone than I have ever been in my life. I know you will all understand how I feel. It has taken me almost 2 months to be able to post this.
