The Vet called and they lost him.

I am devasted. What can I say.

I will fill you in on the why's when I find out more and they do an autopsy. He had quite an infection and the Vet wants to make sure there is no health hazard surrounding these events. ....

Oh my gosh.

I will be fine, but this one is a big, big set back for me.

Sallyanne, I am so sorry that you are going thru this again. I just don't know what to say...I didnt even know Graemer personally, and this is hitting me just as hard as when Gabe passed on. Like I said in your email, Gabe has greeted Grammy at the gates of Rainbow Bridge and he will look after him...hope that can be of some sort of comfort for you :( We will miss you Grammy Crackers. Big (((((HUGS))))) to you, Sallyanne.

Sallyanne I am numb. I am having a hard time absorbing this. My heart is with you right now and you are in my prayers. This is just unimaginable that you have lost your precious Graemer. He was a very special kitty even to those of us who only knew him through pictures. His antics made us smile and he touched me in particular when you e-mailed those early photos of him welcoming Gabe into your home. He was indeed a sweetheart and probably the only fur friend that Gabe ever had! Now it is Gabe's turn to do the welcoming at the Bridge. (((((hugs))))) to you, special friend. :( :(

Words aren't enough right now.
Please know that we're all Praying for you, Gabe, and now Graemer...

Safe Trip to the Rainbow Bridge, Dear Graemer...
and give Gabe a {{{Hug}}} when you arrive.

Rest In Peace, Dear Graemer...

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel
At times when greif hits so hard, so fast.
We hold you close, across the miles,
We'd dry your tears, and promise you smiles,
Your heart must feel empty now
Painfully so
We pray for you, for comfort and sleep
And hope for a better tomorrow.

Of course I am just devastated as I read what has transpired today. The enormity of what Gabe had gone through has not even been absorbed and now dear, sweet Graemer was taken by this dastardly bug. This is more than one Mom should ever be expected to endure. Sallyann, I am so, so sorry. Whatever words of comfort I try to find for you just don't seem sufficient. Tonight only tears seem appropriate. I shall light candles tonight for Graemer, for Gabe, for all the recently and not so recently departed.

I can't even begin to tell you how broken hearted I am for you right now. Graemer and Gabe are together and in no pain now. You will all be together again some day. No one could have done more for them than you did.

Too many hearts broken recently. This is so difficult to accept.
My heart goes out to you as I know all too well the horrible pain of loss of a very special and well loved pet.

Maybe Graemer and Gabe can go look up Phred's Momma, I bet she would have some treats in her pocket and a good scritch ready for their ears.

Sallyanne, I am so very sorry.

Dear Sallyanne, I am numb and speechless and devastated. Words cannot express my sorrow adequately and my eyes are filled with tears. The depth of your loss is unphathomable. We are all there with in you in sorrow and in tears. Graemer, with his beautiful face, his generous and kind spirit, captured all of our hearts. I will never forget how lovingly his welcomed Gabe into his home and his heart. My love and prayers are with you and Milley. Many hearts are broken this sad night. Rest easy now, sweet Graemer. I know that Gabe is welcoming his beloved furfriend and they are both sending down their love to comfort their most loving and brave Mommy. Love, Sandra

At least Gabe will not be lonely for his dear buddy at the bridge.

Oh Sally-Anne , this is such devastating news ; it must be almost unbearable for you , and so soon after poor Gabe ...:( ! I would try to comfort myself with the idea that Graemer knew that Gabe needed him more at the RB . There , they are together again , and they can keep each other company !
It is so hard for you now ...! I hope that Graemer hasn't been suffering to much ..!
Rest in peace sweetheart!!!

Just checking in again this morning Sallyanne to let you know you are in my thoughts. I hope you got some sleep last night.

sasvermont
02-23-2003, 07:28 AM
I had a good night's sleep and spent the night playing referee since Miley and the loaned to me doggie don't want to share me! It was a pleasant distraction for sure.

It still has not dawned on me that I will never see Grammy Crackers again.

I will bury Gabe and Graemer together and then plant something over their grave. Maybe a pussy willow shrub.

I have a close friend who is dealing with mouth cancer treatments right now and her struggle is keeping "it all" in persepective for me.

I truly appreciate all the kind and tender words you have all written and expressed. You guys are just so wonderful.

Once all this mess falls into a place where I can think through the issues, I will try to think about getting another kitty for Miley.... I don't even know right now, if Miley is in danger or not. I should know shortly. Regardless, I am going to have the vet sedate Miley and take an xray of her lungs and chest, just to be sure.

Thanks again everyone. Your support and expressions of caring are so very important at times like this. You are all just the greatest.

Love to all,
SAS and Miley-girl

Sas, I can hardly believe this. :( I'm so very sorry you have lost Graemer too! :( No one would have thought it could get any worse.

I hope it will be a comfort to you that Graemer didn't suffer for long, and I hope that Gabe and Graemer will find each other at the RB. You're in my thoughts.

Rest in Peace, Graemer!

Hugs to you Sas and nosekisses to Miley!

Sallyanne I have been thinking of Graemer so often this night and was reluctant to go to the computer this morning...
It's hard to believe that such a playful and tender little soul is no longer with us.
I am so sorry.

I wasn't on yesterday and I logged on this morning and couldn't believe this! Poor Sallyanne, losing two precious furbabies in such a short time!:( Miley is probably grieving for her best buddy Grammy Crackers too, so give her an extra hug for me.

I'm so sorry...

SAS,

I am so, SO sorry for the loss of Graemer. Losing two precious furbabies in such a short time is devastating. I wish I had some words to help ease your pain. Just know that I am here if you need to talk (I'll PM you with my phone number. I'm home all day so don't hesitate). (((((((((hugs)))))))))

Sooo sorry to hear the news. There is absolutely nothing I can say that will ease your pain but take comfort in knowing that Gabe and Graemer are now playing together in the RB and they await your arrival when you can all be together again!

Prayers are on their way!

I too am in total shock. Again I wasn't on all weekend and I come back to find another one of PT's favorites has been called home. :(

Graemer was such a special kitty. So friendly that even Gabe didn't intimidate him, and so adventurous that even ceiling tiles didn't hold him back from his explorations. I cannot comprehend that he is gone too and only Miley-girl is left.

SAS, I can't express my grief, but know that you, Miley, Grammy and Gabe are in my thoughts and prayers today.

Gabe, I know you're there welcoming Graemer to the RB. I'm happy for you, but I am so, so sad for SAS and Miley.

Rest in peace dear Grammy-Crackers. :(

I too am so so sorry for the loss of dear Graemer...and so soon after Gabe! It must be so hard! I'm positive that Graemer had a wonderful reception up at the Bridge by all of our dearly departed babies, and especially by Gabe. Now you have 2 guardian angels watching over you and Miley. All of us here at Pet Talk are here for you if you need us.

I am so shocked and completely devistated. Sallyanne, you have my deepest, most heart-felt sympothies. I also send my condolonces to dear little Miley who is feeling the pain as well, I am sure. What a God send that little dog is right now, to help you make it through this.

Sometimes life is just not fair. I know that it is absolutely horrendous to loose a beloved fur baby, but to loose two so soon to eath other is just unbearable. I wish this was not happening to you...regardless, I know that you have strength and bravery to make it through and to move past this. I don't know what to say. I am at a complete and total loss. I hope you and Miley are doing OK :( I am sobbing, once again. At least we know that Gabe and Graemer are together once again, in spirit. They were so close, and I know that Gabe gave Graemer the most beautiful welcome ever. They are together again, keeping each other warm and clean until the day when you will join together again.

:( I'd hug you if I could :( And Miley too :( I am so sorry.

I am at total shock for words! I had no clue that Graemer was ill also and I didn't see this thread until today! I am heartbroken! :( I can't even imagine what you're going through. :( The loss of two beloved pets, just days/weeks apart is unbearable to think about. :( I'm so very extremely sorry for your losses. :( Take care of yourself and your kitty. I pray that she will be alright. :(:(

I have been away since last Friday and didn't know a thing about this until this morning. I, like the others, don't even know what to say except that I hurt with you and for you, Sallyanne. Graemer was a special boy who captured the hearts of many, especially after her warmed up to Gabe so easily. I hope that one day when the grief subsides, you will enjoy remembering them together and healthy.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
