Cindy, hugs to you at this most difficult time.
Taz knew love and gave so much back to you in return.
RIP Taz
I don't have words to respond right now other than to say I am so very sorry. :love:
I feel the hurt with you. I am so sorry that Taz could not be with you longer, but in reality he will never leave your heart.
RIP Taz :(
Sorry sis, Brodie will give you lots of kisses to make you feel better when you come to visit.
Thanks guys. I just don't even know what to do with myself right now.
I'm so sorry. It's an impossibly difficult decision, even when we know it's the right thing and the only thing that can be done.
RIP, sweet Taz. Brave boy, you touched a lot of hearts.
Sending you big hugs... Taz was one of my favorite PT kitties... he and my Scooter Bug were both born in 1995 and have such similar looks, that he stole my heart from the beginning.
I'm not very good with words, but know that I am thinking of you. ((Hugs))
Crystal
So sorry for your loss. It is never easy. You are in our thoughts.
:(
BIG {{{Hugs}}} to go with my Deepest Sympathies.
Taz certainly knows that your Love had no bounds ...
Spend some time remembering all the Wonderful Times you shared together.
{{{Hugs}}} from :( Phred
My heart plummetted when I saw this. I am SO sorry about your dear adorable Taz. You were so supportive when Sassy died, now it's my turn to repay you. PLEASE let me know if there is anything I can do. :love: You'll get tired of hearing "it was the right thing to do", I know I was but the realization that it is true will help. I promise you he is happy now. He was happy with you for all the years you had him, he lived a long great life with you.
Rest in peace, handsome Taz. Please show mom you are okay.
I know the heart-ache and I realize it's the worst feeling in the world and that it is so raw for you, and not being a very emotional person didn't help me at all, please Cindy if you have to let it out to us or you can PM me, I didn't and it hurt me even more. IT DOES help I promise. :love:
I'm very sorry for your loss. RIP Taz.
:love:
Cindy, I just now saw this and I had just commented on your other thread in cat general a little while ago. I'm so sorry.:( I know how you're feeling but things will get better. If there's anything I can do or if I can offer you emotional support you can pm me any time or even call me. Just try to remember the good times and know that he's now pain free and at peace up at the Bridge. RIP sweet Taz.:( You're in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
I am so sorry for your loss, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you at this very sad time, HUGS.:love:
You are in our thoughts. Sending you hugs.
This just hit me in the stomach. Cindy, you have been through so much, and you have done EVERYTHING for dear Taz. He never quite bounced back from those kidney cysts...one wonders if there was more to them, as in what caused them maybe hurt Taz in other ways.
HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS and HUGS...beautiful handsome Taz is pouncing and playing again at the Bridge.:love:
I am so sorry, hon... :(
I'm so sorry to hear this. Please accept my sympathy and big hugs across the miles.
((hugs))
You have my complete sympathy. I'm tearing up as I write this. Too many PT cats have passed recently. My heart goes out to all of you!:love::love:
I dread threads like these and I dont reply to many because I hate the fact Ill have to make my own one day.
Just know you gave Taz a good life and lots of love, and thats more then alot of cats get. You did good for Taz.
Cindy, I am so very sorry. I so hoped that Taz would come around and enjoy some good times.
Sending hugs to you- and Taz will be on its way. You know Pet talk kitties meet so many friends at Rainbow Bridge and the rookies will be shown around and will not feel lonely for second.:(
I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost Taz. They just can't ever be with us for long enough. :(
Rest easy at the bridge Taz, happy and whole again.
My heart goes out to you. I know how you feel. The only thing harder than knowing your Taz crossed the Bridge is knowing that you made the decision to lead him there. Just know that Taz loved you and appreciated the love you gave him in return. He is now free to romp and play like a kitten again, without pain or discomfort.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Cindy honey, I'm so sorry about this. Taz was so special and the pain that you're feeling right now I'm sure is nearly palpable. What I say to people at times such as this is that you did the last act of kindness for Taz and he loves you even more for it. He will never ever leave your heart nor ours either. Time will come when the pain will subside but the memories of Taz will grow and be a comfort to you. We love you, Cindy. Prayers are going up right now for your peaceful heart. RIP, Taz boy. Come and purr in your mom's ear tonight to let her know that you're ok and are patiently waiting for your reunion as Gary would say, one fine day. :love:
I am so sorry to read about Taz. I know this doesn't help right now, but you made the best decision you could in a bad situtation and he is thankful to you right now. He is pain free and at the Bridge playing with all of our loved ones that have gone before him. He is now waiting for the day when you will be together again :(
I am so sorry you had to lose Taz; it's so painful, I know. I know everyone's said it, but please be assured you did all you could and your decision was the right one. You gave Taz a wonderful life. (((hugs))):(
Godspeed to the Bridge, dear sweet Taz, and Peace to your family. Make sure to drift in once in a while and tell your Mom you're OK and playing at the Bridge.
Cindy - I was so saddened to read this. I've been following your account of Taz, and so hoping he would somehow bounce back, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I know how much you're hurting right now, since I've been there too many times myself. The pain eventually dulls and become bearable, but it never completely goes away, and I truly believe that our fur kids plan it that way so they can be with us forever. They don't want to leave, any more than we want them to go, and that little bit of sadness that remains, is the bond that can never be broken.
So RIP dear Taz, and check in with Mom occasionally to let her know that all is well. And to you Cindy - hugs and healing peace. :love:
So very, very sorry for your loss.
I am so very sorry. I know how hard it was to do, and how large the hole in your heart feels. ((HUGS)))
Cindy, I'm so sorry that you have lost Taz, it's always so hard to say goodbye to a loved one. :( But remember the good times you two had, and know that Taz enjoyed his long life with you. :)
Rest in peace, dear Taz! :love:
Cindy, my thoughts are with you.
((((hugs))))
I'm so sorry. :(
We are so sorry to hear about Deat Taz.
That has to be the worst feeling in the world when a beloved Cat Companion ages before our eyes, and has to be assisted to be an Angel.
The Animal Angel Army has a special night planned for Taz on the French Riviera, and hes got the first place at the fanciest restaurant.
But he wont really be happy untiol hes with his family again , and he will find just the right spot where you all be together furrever.
One Fine Day.:love:
I'm so sorry. RIP Taz. Play hard at the bridge.
Thank you so much everyone. While the bleeding of my heart is no longer gushing, it is still painful.
I got Taz in September of 1995. My sister brought him home from work and I said "he's mine!". I called him Spazzy Tazzy because he was so full of energy and would tear around the house, up and down the stairs.
Taz has been through so much with me in almost 14 years. We've moved about 7 times together. Each time he would hide out for a couple weeks then be just fine. He was my rock when I was upset. I could be angry or sad and petting him would calm me down. He knew when I was upset and would come to me and sit with me.
He has put up with other animals, dogs and cats, in the places we've lived. The only animal he really bonded with was my mom's Min Pin, Kodi. I think it's because they were both so young together.
Taz is no stranger to the vets office. In the late 90's the vet told me he needed to lose weight. He weighed in at 21 1/2lbs. About 4 years ago he had to have one of his "fangs" removed. And a couple years ago he had a mysterious illness and lost weight. Only it was a little too much weight. He was down to about 12 lbs and that was too skinny for his body. Then in Nov of last year we went through his surgery to remove psuedo-cysts from around both of his kidneys. I believe (as Catty1 said) that may have been the start of his decline. Even though each time he was tested his numbers were "okay". I also believe the two latest additions to the household added more stress on him and that didn't help either.
Last night he weighed in at 6.8 lbs. There wasn't much of him left. So it was time to let him go. Unfortunately, I never saw it in his eyes like many of you said I would. Maybe it was just denial on my part, or he wouldn't let me see it. But the way he acted at the vets told me he was ready. Usually at the vets he will hide his head in the crook of my arm or in my jacket. Last night he laid out and had his head resting on the doctors hand. I said "oh, look how cute he looks". And the doctor said "yes, he is cute. But it's not Taz." I knew she was right. :( She was ready to send me home with some more fluids to get him through the weekend. But I couldn't do that. I didn't want to walk around the house and see him knowing he would be leaving me. I'd burst into tears every time I looked at him. That would add more stress to him. So I made the difficult decision to let him go right then. Bruce was unable to be with me, but that was okay. I was with him and that's all that matters.
Gosh, I am so sorry I am going on and on like this.
RIP my baby boy, Tazmosis, MoeMoe, Mosephine and several other names that would pop into my head with the moment.
I am so sorry. :( :(
Oh bless your heart! I have tears in my eyes reading your post about dear Taz.
I just have to believe that he really isn't gone - but right next to you in spirit and comforting you even as you shed tears.
I hope that all of the beautiful memories you have of him will overshadow
all of your pain and suffering.
It took courage to let him go to the Rainbow Bridge but be comforted that he is free and running around greeting everyone.
oh Cindy, my heart aches for you. I havent posted much lately but had read the thread on Taz's sickness and was so hoping that you had more time with him. He always knew love from you but yesterday, even though it hurts so much, you gave him the greatest love of all and he will be forever greatful to you for letting him go. He is still with you always in all your memories and in your heart.
Rest in Peace sweet Taz...give mommy some special sign from you so she knows you are still with her.
Duke, Champ, Chopper and Ryleigh send you warm puppy kisses.
So sad.....so very sad. :(:(
If I had any say in the matter, all of our pets would stay with us forever.
RIP sweet Taz.
{{{hugs}}}
I am so sorry for your loss Cindy. Godspeed Taz...
Dear Cindy, I am so very, very sorry.
Rest in peace, beautiful beloved Taz.
Cindy, I'm so sorry!! Sounds like your Taz was terribly ill in the end. The part where your vet sad "Yes, he is cute. But it's not Taz." gave me major LES.
You gave him so much love and care, and he knew that when he went to the Bridge. I'm sure he's smiling down at you now.
R.I.P. Taz!
