Our Beloved Ming 😢

 After not feeling well and bringing Ming to the vet last week, we got the results Monday that she was in renal failure.

This was before the vet came yesterday afternoon, getting loved by us all. She was purring that morning with me in bed, but just not herself and going downhill.
If only love could heal, she'd be with us always.
What you might not know is that just before the New Year, we adopted two kittens from a rescue. They are a Snowshoe Siamese mix, brother and sister. Mia is the lighter one and Maverick has the dark nose and ears.
More about them in another post.


In 2006, we went to visit Ming before we were able to get her. The Gmen had a soccer game, so we went as soon as it was over. She was so tiny and sweet, we were in love!
 

Soon after we decided to get her, we were blessed to find out I was pregnant with Nathan. She snuggled him before, and after!


She insisted on checking out every place he would be sitting or sleeping.


Mother's Day with newbies Nathan and Ming. 🥰


I think this is the last family photo we had taken with both Ming and Maximus, at my parents house.


Knowing they are together again is a comfort, but we still miss them both so very much.


Rest in peace my sweet girl, don't forget to tell Maximus we love him and miss him still.

I am so sorry for your loss! We recently lost 2 of our kitties within a month of each other. I hope you can take some solace that she knew she was loved.

Oh it is SO hard losing our pets. Especially when they have been a part of our family for so very long. I am so sorry my friend.

What lovely photos of the cats growing up with your boys, especially that first tiny kitten one. Siamese really are gorgeous cats. I'm sure you miss them both so much.
