Karin Bartsch's Journals

Today is a very sad day for Dieter and for me: Our cat Susi is dead. She had to be euthanized and we petted her while it was done. Our travel companion and family member of 11 years is gone......

The Island Animal Clinic, Dr. Debra Megonigle and her ever so friendly and helpful staff did the best they could to help her and us. They adviced us that Susi's body could be buried in the dunes of this island. They neatly packed her into a carton, taped it all up, ready to be sent to the Rainbow Bridge.

Not every cat traveled as far as Alaska and not every cat has the honor to have the gravesite at the beach. For a long time it will be lonely around here.

We donated all of Susi's belongings to the animal clinic.
