Tula was a survivor from the start. In her firstyears she injested carpet fibers. Unable to extract them naturally, sheunderwent a very invasive surgery. Her prognosis was not good. In fact,she was doing so badly that the vet opened her up again to have anotherlook. Unbelieveably, after a few dandelions and a lot of TLC sheresumed life as normal.However, just after her 9th Birthdayshe broke her leg trying to visit her cancer stricken sisterTwinkle. Although Twinkle passed on, Tula kept going even though herleg never healed properly. It was the night beforeEasterSunday when me husband called me frantically noticingTula's "good" leg was now injured as well. After emergency vet care wefound that 10 year old Tula had broken this leg as well-osteoperosiswas the diagnosis. Unable to put her downwe optedtohave her good leg repaired. She came out of surgery happyand seemingly healthy. She ate all her favourite foods and took hermedication well. On day four I noticed she was not as alert as usual. Iwas scheduled to see the Titanic exihbit this day at the provincialmuseum-the anniversary of the sinking. I went reluctantly but wasthinking of Tula the whole time. After the exhibit I rushed home tofind Tula looking very uncomfortable. I gave her love and fell asleepnext to her cage crying. By morining she had passed. I thought, likethe Titanic, she was unsinkable but I guess I was wrong, and I miss herdeeply. Sleep well Tula and give Twinkle kisses at theRainbowBridge. love Mommy, Daddy and Vita.
