I wanted to put something here about my Montana and thought that I could not re-write another thing right now so instead I will just copy what I put on FB  as it says what I feel.   Thank-you to everyone that commented there and sent well wishes, it meant a lot.    I know that I will craft again as it too is my passion, but for now Montana has my everything.  I am working on a memory page for him now.
On Sunday March 4, 2012 I had to rush my beloved Montana to the animal  ER.  He was in respiratory distress and kidney failure.  It was so bad  that after meds, IV fluids and such, I was told that he would not make  it.  That afternoon I held him in my  arms until he died.    This is my Montana that was never sick--a little  'punky' a few days before but nothing that would suggest this.     I can  not believe he is gone.  I watched him be born 12 years ago and have  had a 'toddler' beside me ever since.  He slept in my bed every night,  he liked to be held like a baby whenever he could and was always in to  something.   My heart hurts so much I don't even want to breath most of  the time.  I don't understand.  This was my unconditional kitty--no  hang-ups, just loving sweet Montana.  My only saving grace is that he is  in Heaven with my dog Bobo and old Kitta.  I am so sorry, Montana, that  you had to leave me so soon and I wish I could have done more to save  you--if only to have you by my side a lot longer.  Dear God, please hold  him and keep him safe and warm every night as I wish I still could and  let us meet again soon.  Bless you my baby.
