Sherman #369 He is gone.

Oh no! I've been gone for a few days and came to check on Sherman. I am so sorry.

There's really nothing more I can say to you. Just take advantage of the remaining time you have together.

Checking in today and hoping that Sherman is feeling a little better at least. My heart is just breaking for your family... those pics are beautiful and just make the tears run down my face even more. Gentle hugs and kisses, Shermie, and to your mom and dad and sis, too.

I've been reading all of this from the beginning, haven't really known what to say.

I'm bawling over here as I just read about Sherman.

((((HUGS)))) to you and a big (HUG), belly rubs, and nose kisses to Sherm.

Thanks, Staci. I wondered how to let our friends at the park know, although when I saw this, I cried. I so don't want this to be happening.

We're still waiting to hear something, nothing yet. Sherman had a really really good night. We doted on him yesterday, and gave him a nice long massage. He seemed to relax quite a bit and his breathing improved. That was good, cause he was looking a little bluish..he got nice & pink again. Then I gave him a nice luxurious brushing. You can see how much he enjoyed it, (I stopped to give him a hug).
I wish I hadn't pitched the huge bags of his fur I saved from last year. He's almost done shedding, but I'm saving what I can now to have it spun. Maybe there will be enough for a potholder, lol! well, if there is enough to have a small square knitted, I can center it on a throw pillow or something.

He surprised the heck out of me about an hour ago - I was starting to post an update, heard a sound, and couldn't believe my eyes - he came up two flights of stairs to come see me! He was completely exhausted, though, and couldn't catch his breath. After about 10 minutes, we went back downstairs. He's still winded, I stayed with him till his breathing leveled out, and now he's resting in front of a fan.

JoJoe & I want you all to know how much your posts mean to us - we're both reading them. To think Sherman has touched so many lives, it's humbling. We love you guys, too.

That picture is beautiful! Sherman looks so happy with the hug you are giving him. This whole thing has me in tears, it honestly does. I want you to know that I think about and pray for you all every day. I truly am sorry this is happening to your beautiful fur kid.

**cassiesmom** · 07-09-2007, 03:06 PM

Hi, Sherman, sweet boy ... I'm so glad to read that you have had a couple of good days ... I hope you have a few more in you so your mom can continue to love you for all of us. [[[hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs]]]

**kittycats_delight** · 07-09-2007, 03:45 PM

I have been following this thread and have not posted as I just didn't know what to say. The pictures are beautiful and I know you will treasure them always. Sherman looks so happy in the last picture you attached but I can see the pain in your eyes and it is so hard to see I can only imagine what you are going through. I hope and pray for a miracle. For Sherman's sake and for you and the rest of the family (skin and fur alike). Know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please give Sherman a big hug and smooch for me. And also give him an extra few minutes of massage for me too. Also do me a favor and give each other a hug from me to the both of you.

I've been reading portions of this thread and I just wanted to let you know that you and Sherman are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad to read that he's having a good day today. He sure is a very handsome boy. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

**Cincy'sMom** · 07-09-2007, 03:53 PM

What a sweet picture. It is so hard to look at that smling face and know the pain he must be feeling. What a strong special boy. Lots more hugs for all of you.

**dukedogsmom** · 07-09-2007, 03:52 PM

What a sweet boy. He looks so happy in that photo. I'm so glad you're getting some happy, though bittersweet ones. Still hoping for a miracle........

**Killearn Kitties** · 07-09-2007, 03:05 PM

How sweet of Sherman to come up all those stairs to see you! Please give that adorable boy a massage and a hug from me too.
My thoughts are with you all.
