Max | Tuesday, February 13, 2001 - 08:54 pm   {{{{Nancy}}}} So sorry to hear of your loss. My cat is my "child," too. She's 13 and I dread the day I come home to find a situation similar to that you described. I have a little book called "For every cat, an Angel." It's very sweet. I'm sure your baby is in the arms of her angel now. {{{{Hugs}}}}

Moondance | Tuesday, February 13, 2001 - 11:32 pm   {{{Nancy}}} My heart and prayers are with you ... Max is right about her Angel and when she gets her wings, she will be your Angel by your side |

Bamagirl | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 06:34 am   Nancy I am sorry to hear about your loss. *HUGS* |
Norwican | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 06:39 am   So sorry Nancy. |
Nancy091158 | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 06:55 am   thank you bama and Nor...it's kind of a crummy valetine's gift but i guess i gave her a gift by putting her out of her misery ;-( |
Tksoard | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 07:16 am   Nancy, I too am so sorry for your loss!! I don't know how I will handle it when my only kids ( 3 dogs and 3 cats) die. One thing you can be thankful for is that you had the chance to say good bye and let her know you love her. I have been so afraid that my kids would die alone. They know (Boy do they know) how much I love them, but that last few minutes is a blessing for both of you. So sorry again. |
Bamagirl | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 07:19 am   Yes Nancy...it is so hard to see them suffer.. Our little dog passed away after having her with us for 14 years...it has been several years now and I still miss her. *soft hugs* |
Nancy091158 | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 07:36 am   Thank you both...I am grateful tht i came right home from work last nite...and also that the vet's was still open...and that I got to say good-bye...she was crying sooo pitifully...that i knew she was telling me it was OK..she need to go now... I happened so dang fast..i had nooo clue she had cancer...the doctor so it was a fast(virulent) kind...but that my other cat wouldnt/won't catch it... the only clue (had i noticed) was that she lost 3 lbs since last march's physical...(from 12.2 to 9.1) |
Dilligaf | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 05:03 pm   Moon, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to reprint the poem you posted back in December. It is the most wonderful thing I've ever read about pet loss. To all those hurting, read this wonderful post from Moon.... Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called rainbow bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain on your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more in the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then together you and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge... -Author Unknown |
Dilligaf | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 05:06 pm   I still think about my Levi on a daily basis. I have framed pictures of him all over my house and on my desk at work. He was truly my best friend. I even had the chance to get a new cat today...and passed. I'm just not ready. {{warm hugs}} |
Nancy091158 | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 05:15 pm   thanks dilli...someone asked me today if i would get another kitty--i was like how insensitive(but im sure they didnt mean it to be)...plus with my roo still around i'd have to way bringing in another cat anyway..these two grw up together--being just 7 months apart in age... |

Dilligaf | Thursday, February 15, 2001 - 10:30 am   Ahhhhhh, I wondered if it would be the "old Gu" or the "new Gu" that visited this thread. Glad to see it's the "new Gu". Thank you for being sincere. |
Nancy091158 | Thursday, February 15, 2001 - 01:14 pm   thanks gu i appreciate it...as does my kitty cat in heaven ;-) |
Nancy091158 | Saturday, February 17, 2001 - 10:36 am   max i just got my copy of for every cat an angel--its the cutest little book---made me a little less sad about midnite--also got the chicken soup for the pet lovers soul to read... |
Enbwife | Saturday, February 17, 2001 - 11:32 am   I like this thread since it's a way for us all to support one another when times are tough. My poor dog is completely blind now and is very easily disoriented. She doesn't know which way to go anymore, will not go out for walks, and barely makes it down the stairs in the yard to go for a pee.... The end is coming soon. |
Nancy091158 | Saturday, February 17, 2001 - 11:53 am   {{{{LISA}}}}} i DONT know which is worse going so quickly like my midnite did or slowly(prob slowly because you watch you poor pet suffer so...but know that when the time comes its the right decision for Her not you ;-) |
Digilady | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 12:10 pm   Dilli, My cousin unexpectedly lost his 10 year old Himalyan last night. I read him part of your Rainbow Bridge, and if you don't mind, I'm sending it to him and his wife. Twas so sudden... they are in shock. |
