Time Has Come :(

[Craftlady]

I'm having to have Thumper PTS.
A very good friend of mine is coming to get me to take her up to our vets.
Please pray that she passes in peace.

[critter crazy]

:( Oh Hon, I am so sorry. I thought for sure she would make a great recovery. How sad. I am sure you are doing what is best for her. She will once again be a normal Happy kitty at the Rainbow Bridge!!

[Trinityagain]

Definite LES here...I'm so sorry....

[K & L]

Oh I'm sorry to read this. Peace to Thumper and hugs to you.

[Medusa]

Becky, Thumper is such a special girl w/an indomitable spirit. Her passing in peace will be the final act of kindness that you can do for her, your final gift. Please know that I'm thinking of you all and feel so much sadness, yet joy in knowing that very soon she will be free of all pain, suffering and challenges. If ever a cat has earned her wings, it's Thumper girl.

[kuhio98]

Gentle hugs to you.

[jackie]

I hope everything goes as planned.

:(

[Kalei]

I have LES here at work. I am so sorry about Thumper, but I am very glad to know that soon Thumper will be a happy healthy cat again.

Many prayers and hugs to you.

[Anikaca77]

My prays are with you and Tigger. :(

My heart is with you and Tigger.

[jazzcat]

I'm so sorry Becky. :(

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Catty1]

Oh, Becky....major LES here....

Did she stop eating?

That dear feisty girl who would meow and get mad when she didn't want to be held...she kept cattitude!

Becky, I am so so sorry...and bless you and your hubby for doing absolutely everything for Thumper....above and beyond what most would do...

Thumper, darling, you will be with those you love and those who love you...be peaceful, dearest dearest girl.

Becky, wishing you and your husband peace and healing and wonderful memories of Ms Feisty!

[Logan]

I am so sorry. :(

[rg_girlca]

Oh Becky, words cannot express how sorry I am. :(

[jennielynn1970]

I'm so sorry about this Becky. I was hoping that she would recover at some point.

Thumper, sweetie, you'll be all well again at the Bridge and be so happy and have all your energy back. We'll all miss you, but we wish you safe crossing.
Thoughts and prayers going with you. Love Jennie and kitties.

[momtomany]

I am so sorry. Prayers for you and Thumper.

[fragrancehound]

I am so sorry! I have been following your updates and my heart breaks for you and Thumper. :(

[catlover4ever]

I'm so sorry ((((HUGS))) Know that you gave her the very best.

Godspeed Thumper :(

[kittycats_delight]

This has been one of the hardest fought battles I have even witnessed. Becky you fought every bit as hard as Thumper and maybe even more. I can't imagine what this journey has been like for you all. I have followed the entire time and never knew what to say. You have done everything humanly possible for Thumper and then some. Now is time to show the final act of love, the most compassionate and truest act you can give to Thumper. You are letting her be a peace as much as it hurts you to do so. May her passing be easy and swift.

Fly on the wings of angels Thumper. You fought long and hard and it it now your time to rest and be pain-free. Be a healthy happy kitty once more and watch over your meowmie who loves you so much.

Godspeed Thumper.

Please tell your little Thumper how much we love her.

(((((HUGS)))))

Godspeed Thumper. What a valiant girl you have been.

[AbbyMom]

I'm so sorry. Peaceful transition wishes for you.

LES...

[Craftlady]

Thank You Everyone.
Her passing was peaceful. I held her while the sleeping shot worked but couldnt stay for the final shot.
Bless my good friend who took me this morning. I also went to the crematory and saw the beautiful craved wooden box, I picked out.
My vet was going to take her over there this afternoon. What a kind man :)

This was my first experience with PTS. RB Butterscotch died naturaly at home.

We gave it a good fight. I'm happy she is playing hard at the RB Bridge.

[Catty1]

{{{{hugs}}}}

[Karen]

You are in our prayers, and thank goodness for a peaceful passing after such a hard-fought battle.

[Zippy]

((((HUGS)))))
I am so sorry.

[RedHedd]

{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} :( Play hard at the Bridge, Thumper, and give captain Mishi a snappy salute.

[lizbud]

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. :( I know you loved her so much.
Rest In Peace Thumper.

[Medusa]

Thumper girl deserves peace, a long peaceful rest before she plays at the bridge. A candle burns for you all.

[Catty1]

Becky...I hope you are okay with this - just posting a couple of sweet pics of Thumper..

Play and run at the bridge, dear Thumper!

[Freedom]

I am so sorry. You worked so much with her that she couldn't help but know she was loved and wanted and THAT is such a special gift you gave to her. Have fun at the Bridge, Sweet Thumper!

[Catlady711]

Aww, that is so sad to hear about Thumper. I'm glad she went peacefully and she is now playing with my Dusty over the RB. Dusty will help keep her company and show her around for you.

My sympathies.

[catmandu]

The Pet Angels Are Dedicating The Party As The Thumper Labor Day Memorial. She Will Get The First Plate At The Dinners And The First Bed At The 5 Star Hotels. I Am Sure Thumper Misses Her Guardians And Will Pick Just The Right Places Tostay And Eat When Her Family Is Reunited In Love. She Doesnt Want You To Cry But To Have Happy Memories Of Her As She Will See You Again.
One Fine Day.

[Craftlady]

Thumper is one special lady, our minister made what would be a "human funeral" call to us tonight. It was so sweet of him to stop by and take time to talk with us. She sure is smiling now about this tonight. :)

[jenluckenbach]

With tears in my eyes, I too say a final good bye to dear Thumper.

RIP beloved cat, there are many people who will never forget your spirit.

[Donnaj4962]

LES here. Thumper was a great kitty, and a brave one. She knew love until the very end. RIP sweet little girl, and play hard at the RB with our other beloved PT RB kitties.

(((hugs))) to you Craftlady for your bravery also.

[luvofallhorses]

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( (((hugs))) You'll be in my thoughts.

[maerlyn]

I'm new here (started on the Rescue board), so I don't know your story, but I do know the sadness and pain of having to say 'so long' to a beloved furchild. I hope that your dear Thumper made her transition peacefully; without doubt, she's well and happy now.

May Thumper's Creator hold you gently in the hollow of His hand, comfort you, and lead your heart to peace.

[rg_girlca]

Dear Becky;

I couldn't post earlier due to major LES.

I am so sorry that your precious Thumper has passed on. She was such a special and brave girl. You and your hubby, forgive me but his name escapes me right now, did more for her than anyone I know would have.
Thumper put up a good fight. She was well loved and will never be forgotten.
It was very hard for me to see her pictures, but then it got to a point where I would see past her tumor and just see that sweet loving face of hers. She was a sweetheart that's for sure.

I pray and hope that you find comfort and peace in the fond memories you made together.

Rest in Peace dear brave Thumper. I will never forget you.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Becky

[Bengalz]

Rest in Peace dear Thumper. You've had a tough journey sweetie and deserve a rest. You will be so missed baby girl but never forgotten :(

[Grace]

Just now reading this. I am so very sorry. All of you gave it all you had. Thumper is now well again, able to run and play - you will see her again. That much I know.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Becky, I'm so sorry to hear about Thumper's passing.:( RIP sweet girl.:(

[kb2yjx]

Although I may not have posted much on your thread about Thumper, I did read all that you did for her. No one could ever say you did not go the distance to help her. I just know that Thumper knew of all the love you had in your heart for her, and how hard you tried to help her. HUGS to you...Sleep softly, dear sweet Thumper...

[CultureJunky]

Craftlady, my deepest sympathies to you at this time. Getting to know Thumper on PT has been an emotional ride, seeing how strong and brave she was and how wonderful you were to try and give her every chance of a good and pain free life. You went beyond what is expected to try and help her. She will not forget that at the bridge and I'm sure she will look down on you everyday and thank you for being such a wonderful owner to her while she was on this earth.
RIP Thumper, you are the most brave and courageous girl I have come across on PT.

[Alysser]

I am really sorry to hear about Thumper. :( Play hard at the bridge.

[rosethecopycat]

Soft songs and candles lit across Florida as Thumper makes her journey to the Rainbow Bridge.
Restored to perfect health, and youth, your mama will will be thrilled to see you again. One Fine Day.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

I did not know anything was going on, as I dont venture farther than Cat Talk mostly. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP sweet Thumper :(

[Craftlady]

Thank You Again, for all your kind words of sympathy.
It will touches hubby and my hearts. Thumper is one special kitty that was loved by allot of people.

[Cataholic]

You both fought the good, long, fight. Many prayers to you. RIP, Thumper. Would you say hello to my loved ones, please?

Hugs to you. :(

[moosmom]

Becky

I am so sorry to hear about Thumper. You and Thumper will be in my thoughts and prayers.

((((HUGS))))

[loveallfurryfriends]

RIP Thumper, I pray that your journey is peaceful. Once you get to the RB let your Mommy know that you are o.k. Play hard & be happy @ the RB.

[Hellow]

OMG i am soooo sorry. RIP Thumper.http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/traurig/sad-smiley-050.gif

[Craftlady]

The vet's office just called this afternoon and her remains are ready for us to pick up. So we are going up shortly to bring her home :) The box I choice is beautiful wood carved. Here's a photo of it from the pet site. This photo doesnt do it justice, in person it's way more beautiful.

[kimlovescats]

Oh Becky, I am so very sorry to read that our Thumper is now gone. She fought such a long battle and gave us all such hope! I know that she certainly knew how much her Daddy and Mommy loved her and hated to let her go. I wish I had seen this sooner, so I didn't have to bring this back up fresh for you again, but I wanted you to know that I didn't just ignore it!

Hugs,
Kim :(

[Craftlady]

Thanks for the kind words Kim. Each day gets a little easier.

[Barbara]

I am so sorry for Thumper's passing.
By now she will be used to being young and healthy again at Rainbow Bridge.

[Killearn Kitties]

I am sorry that I didn't see this previously. Thumper was a brave girl and a great spirit.
She will not be forgotten.

[Laura's Babies]

I am so saddened to read this! I have also kept up with her story since I heard about it some time ago. You did all you could for her and it was a long hard fight. May you find comfort and peace in how much and how hard you tried, knowing you did all you could. There should be no "if only" for you to say.... You did everything in your power to give her a chance.

Thumper, you were a brave lady that fought a good fight. Now is your time to have fun and be a "cat", a healthy, playful lady with all the dignity and grace you had here on earth. I will never forget you!

[Craftlady]

Thank You Laura.

[shais_mom]

I'm so sorry I am late to this, please accept big hugs on your loss.

[Catsnclay]

Oh Becky....this makes me extremly sad. :(


And I am so embarrased for not knowing this sooner! :o My deepest apoligies and sympathies go out to you and your family. Something made me real the 'Memorials' today for some reason......

Thumper was a wonderful kitty that had a great family that cared for her up until the very end. A lot of people would have given up much sooner than you did, but we are all glad you did the best you could for your Thumper.

Thumper KNEW that you did everything that you could possibly do to help her live her life to the fullest, and she loves you both dearly for that!

I wish there were more people in the world like you & your husband.

Rest in peace dear Thumper, and please say 'Hi' to my big boy, Fluffy. You guys will become great friends along with all the other's up there!

[sasvermont]

I just know she is playing her little heart out at Rainbow Bridge. It is such a difficult time. I am so sorry. It was her time to go and play with all the other kitties and pupsters. I hope you and your husband are ok.

[Craftlady]

We take one day at a time.
