Prayers asap Please for ZippyKat

[shais_mom]

I am posting this for Tonya - Zippy kat she is pretty distressed right now over some things that have happened this week.
(more on that later)
Resident Senior Tinkerbell (13 this month) hasn't been well in the last couple weeks or so. The vet thought that it was a bladder or kidney infection. She hasn't been eating and what she has been eating she throws up, meds and all.
After a trip to the white coats they have found that she has advanced renal failure.
quoted from an IM from Tonya
"Its' not good at all.
they've almost completely quit. All they can do is give her fluids under the skin and keep her comfortable.

She goes Monday for more(?) fluids. that might perk her appetite up a bit but the throwing up will get worse. She doesn't really have control of her bladder any more either."
-additional prayer requests for her
--K'Cee has had a small area of pigment that has showed up on her nose a while ago. At first Tonya thought it was dirt but it won't wash off. She fears skin cancer, so K'Cee has a trip to the vet pending also.
--About two months ago, after a bad storm, Tonya was driving home from work and lo and behold she found a baby squirrel.
She bottle fed it and bonded with it and cared for it - preparing it for release. Squacky seemed to be thriving. Tonya went to class Wednesday nite and he was doing fine and came home 2 hours later and he had passed to the Rainbow Bridge. They are not sure what happened to him. But Tonya is devastated.


Please wrap her and her family in warm loving healing thoughts and prayers...

[moosmom]

Oh wow. I'm so sorry for what's been happening to Tonya. Thoughts and prayers coming her way from Michigan.

[Jods]

oh i'm so sorry :( prayers on the way

[Sudilar]

Immediate prayers on their way.

[Karen]

Prayers wider than Piper's ears and hugs are on the way. Miss Hoppy sends nose bumps to her, as she is a special friend of bunny rabbits, too.

Hopefully K'Cee just has a freckle, nothing more serious. And that Tinkerbell can be made comfortable and happy. And baby squirrel is surely scampering up at the Rainbow Bridge.

[cubby31682]

OMG that is so much for one person and one family to deal with in such a short time. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

[slick]

Oh Tonya, I'm so sorry about all this. Life just isn't fair sometimes.
RIP Squacky and may you find lots and lots of welcoming trees at the RB. :(
Mega prayers on the way for all of you. We are all here for you, Sis.

Staci, thanks so much for posting this.

[gini]

Dear Zippy is in my prayers.

For certain she has a squirrel at the Rainbow Bridge who went running to find Miz Sophie and blabber on about the wonderful lady that saved his life and gave him human love and care.

Miz Sophie, said, "I know, I know...........how lucky we are to have been blessed with so much love from her. I miss her too."

[Freckles]

Lots of prayers coming your way, Zippy.

[robinh]

Oh Tonya, I am so sorry for your troubles. It seems like so much all at once. Please know that my prayers are with you.

[Edwina's Secretary]

The problem with loving animals is losing them. It is still worth it.

So much sorrow Tonya. My thoughts are with you.....

[petslover]

I am sorry that things aren't going well with her. Thoughts and prayers are on the way here too.

[RedHedd]

Prayers you got. So sorry life seems to have hit a rough patch for so many lately - me included. Special prayers for all our kidney kats! Mishi is dealing with the same thing at the white coats right now. Our poor babies!

[jazzcat]

Oh Tonya I'm so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

((HUGS))

[furrykidsmother]

Prayers on their way to Tonya and her family. RIP Squacky, play hard at the RB. I hope that Tinkerbell can be made comfortable and that you will have many more years together and like Karen suggested hopefully K'Cee just has a freckle.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so sorry for all that is going on with your furries! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of them.

[sandragonfly]

oh zippy,

even though I don't know you very well, I feel really down for you! I'm very sorry you had to deal with all of this right now but please remember I'll be thinking of you and sending invisible hugs... hope these stresses will leave really soon!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Oh, Tonya
Prayers on the way from me, my friend!!!

I'm sure Miz Sophie met Squacky when he got to the bridge. She's probably bossing him around, even now.
Squacky, play hard and know how much you were loved and will be missed.

Lots of prayers for Tinker and K'Cee too!

(((HUGS for all)))

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh no, and all this so soon after sweet Clarice's departure. :(

Positive thoughts and prayers on their way.

[luvofallhorses]

:( Prayers on the way.

[zippy-kat]

{{Thanks guys.}}

Your heartfelt posts have made me cry. I'm numb, depressed, and can't think straight. I'll try to recap everything but it may not make sense.


First and foremost, Miss Tinkerbelle started drinking much more than normal and eating WAY LESS than normal late last week. Then she started throwing up... we called the vet first thing Tuesday. From her symptoms, the vet thought it was a bladder/kidney infection; she prescribed some antibiotics and made an appointment for Thursday morning (earliest they could get her in).

Today, mom took her to the vet and the news was less than pleasant. Tinker's lost almost all use of her kidneys. All they can do is give her fluids under the skin, in hopes that it will perk up her appetite. In short, it just buys us time to say goodbye.

The vet warned us that her throwing up will get worse. Right now, she has semi-control over her bladder (it's not too bad -just when/where she sleeps (the dog's bed)- she still uses the litterbox) ... but that, too, will get worse.

She's not grooming herself and she's not really moving except to go to/from her bed, water bowl, and litterbox. She'll be 13 this month. She was/is Clarice's kitten; we've had her since she was born.

She goes Monday for another round of fluids.



Squacky Squirrel. :(
I can't talk about it. I don't know what happened. He was FINE and then 2 hours later, he was gone.

My dad burried him close to Miz Sophie.

My heart is *breaking* for that little guy.

I am sooooo sorry, Squacky. I feel like I failed you. :( :( :(



Miss Kissiekat... I'm probably just being paranoid due to the recent tragedies (I don't even know if a cat can get skin cancer -- I'm guessing that, if they can, they would have to be in the sun a LOT... she's not). I'm sure it's just a pigment "thing" but it seems weird it'd pop-up OVERNIGHT after 2.5 yrs. I want it checked out for my peace of mind.



Lastly, can ya'll keep another guy in your prayers? Long story short, I've been chasing a Great Pyranese around town for two days. Tonight, I was finally able to feed him a hamburger. He's so lost and confused... I just pray that he lets me help him. That in itself will be another feat; he won't let anyone touch him --only came close to me because I set the food semi-close-- he's filthy-dirty and limping but seems friendly enough. However, I'm not 100% sure that he's going to fit in my car if/when I can get him to trust me. And, assuming I can get him in the car, I'm not sure the humane society (I am NOT taking him to the pound) will take him.

PLEASE --I beg you-- to say a prayer that everything falls into place for this big guy. *crosses fingers*



Thank you guys

[slick]

Tonya, Sis, reading your thread has brought tears to my eyes....major LES!!! :( :( My heart breaks for you...having to endure so much all at once.

Please don't blame yourself for Squacky's passing. It was for a reason and we will never know what that is. You gave him so much love that he has taken with him to the RB and he will never forget you.

I know that you are doing everything you can for little Tinky. For 13 long years she shared your home and your love and when the time comes, take comfort in knowing that she will be with her Mom again and Tinky and Clarice will be waiting on your arrival one day.

My good thoughts and prayers are also going out to little K'Cee. I just know that it's nothing serious, but never hurts to get it checked out.

Bless you for trying to rescue that poor pup. So alone and so hungry; I can't imagine what he is going through. :( :( Please God, help Zippy rescue this abandoned pup and find him a good home.

Tonya, you have such a gentle soul and such a big heart. One day if I ever grow up, I wanna be just like you.

OK, I'm off to blow my nose now. You continue to be in my daily prayers.

Tonya, I'm so sorry to hear about everything that you're going through right now.:( Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please take care. {{{HUGS}}}

[catcrazylady]

Oh my goodness! So much happening all at once. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to understand why so much tradgedy hits at once isn't it? Please take care of yourself and know that we are all thinking about you and your babies.
I'm so sorry for your losses and the pain you are experiencing now. Warm cyber {{{{HUGS}}}} from across the miles.

[lbaker]

:( I wish I could sprout wings and fly to you Tonya. I would hold you and pat your back - wouldn't even mind if you burp ;) I would jump into the Zip-mobile with you and try to convince the pup to come with us. My heart is with you anyway... take care of YOU.

[wolfsoul]

Oh no. :( Too much happening at the same time. I'm sorry Tonya, I hope that your days get better and I'll be praying your pets will be alright.

[Cataholic]

Tonya, I am so sorry you are experiencing all of this, it is just too much. Way to find that fortitude buried deep inside to continue the hunt for the GP. Hang in there.

[RICHARD]

dang,


Sending you some good thoughts.

[rg_girlca]

Believe me when I say that you didn't fail little Squacky. He obviously had some unforseen illness that you or anyone else could have done anything about. Bless you for trying and doing the best that you could.
Rest in Peace dear Squacky.

Prayers and positive thoughts going out to dear Tinkerbelle.

Prayers and positive thoughts for K'Cee that the little spot on his nose is nothing serious.

I hope and pray that you are able to gain the trust of this poor, dirty, hungry, scared Great Pyranese.

Please take comfort in all the prayers and support from us, to you.

((((((HUGS))))))

[lizbud]

I'm sorry for all you're going through right now Zippy.:( It seems to me you are long overdue for some better, happier
days. Prayers on the way. {{{HUGS}}} Liz.

[Randi]

Tonya, I'm terribly sorry for what you're going through now, it's all too much! :( :(

Lots of hugs!!

[Rachel]

Sounds as if you've had more than your share of STRESS, Zip. I'm am so, so sorry to hear the news about Tinkerbelle. This is a difficult road to walk down and there is no solice to be found on the way. But during the journey, Tinker will know she is being cared for and loved as she was throughout her life. What a lucky kitty she has been in that regard.

You know you did your best Squacky. He had an Earth Angel with him and your good deed will be remembered.

I saw two GP today, waiting patiently in a convertible for their mom to return. Hopefully you will be able to gain the confidence of the one you are tracking. Can you enlist the help of some other Earth Angels in your endeavor? Sounds like it may be a two Angel job.

As for K'Cee, let me report that I had a *can dogs get melanoma* question last week when I pointed out a black spot on Hannah's pink skin that I hadn't noticed before. It was diagnosed as *pigmentation*. :) I'm thinking K'Cee will get an equally happy report.

Know we are thinking of you and love you. Take comfort in the *love eyes* of Bowser in that picture Phred posted. There is something in those eyes that soothes my soul, even via picture.
(Thanks Phred )

Oh Phred........ you always know just what to do.

I just can't believe how many beloved PTers are going through such trying and difficult times. :( Tonya is my prayers.

[NoahsMommy]

My Friend,

I'm so sorry I wasn't here for all this, sweetie. :( My heart was already very low when reading about Tinkerbell...but aboult fell out when I read about your Squacky! He was doing so well, honey...all because of your love and care, of that I'm positive.

I'm so sorry, honey. If I can do anything, let me know. OK?

Hugs,
Kelly

[slick]

Hey there Sis, I just want you to know that you remain in my daily prayers. You know where I am if you need me.

{{{hugs}}}

[wolf_Q]

Oh Tonya, I'm so sorry to hear all of this. :( All of those things are hard to deal with individually, I can't imagine all of that at once. Big {{hugs}} from me and a kiss from Nebo. I wish the news from the vet about Tinkerbell were better, at least her mother will be there to greet her when the time comes. :( :( I know she is a really special part of your family. I'm so sad about Squacky too, I really loved the pics on LJ, what a cutie. Please know that you did everything to care for Squacky, don't blame yourself. I hope everything is ok with K'Cee too and it's just pigmentation....also sending well wishes for the great pyr, poor guy. :(

If you ever want to talk, I think you have my number...if not I can give it to you

[zippy-kat]

A little background, first:

The clinic we use has 2 vets, Dr. N and Dr. S.
I WORSHIP the ground Dr. N walks on (he once brought Clarice back from death's door).
I REFUSE to use Dr. S due to things that happened with Sophie and K'Cee.



Last wk, the earliest mom could get in was w/ Dr. S; she took it.

Dr. S gave mom the bad news. Tinker's bloodwork showed two SKY HIGH (so high the machine wouldn't even "rate" them) levels of ?? (mom forgot what), which indicated kidney problems. Mom asked how bad Tinker was and Dr. S responded, "Really bad." She also told mom that they all they could do was "give Tink fluids and keep her comfortable." Mom agreed; Dr. S gave Tink a "dose" and then had mom make an appointment for another round on Monday.


Today, when Mom took Tinker in for her fluids, she saw Dr. N.

A vet tech, came out and was making over Tink... mom asked him how often would we need to give her the fluids/how to tell when she needed them. (What she was really fishing for was, "How much should I put her through?") He looked at her kind of funny and said, "these are dialysis treatments - she's not dehydrated."

:confused: :eek: :confused:

So, long story short, Tinker goes back everyday this wk for treatments. This will help to flush the toxins out of her body which will begin to make her feel "normal" (increase her appetite, etc). At the end of the treatments (and I don't know if they meant on Friday or Monday), she'll have another blood test to see if the levels of ?? dropped.

If they can get at least one to come down, the problem can be controled thru diet and meds and, "being a siamese/himalayan mix, she should live to 17-20 yrs."

This of course is a BIG *if.*

Dr. N said it there was "a small glimmer of hope" in that she is responsive to her surroundings and to people. Indeed, she has perked up since last wk (her eyes look sooo much better and she's purring/"talking" more) but she's still not grooming herself or eating much (although she did beg for raw hamburger tonight)... nor does she want to be held.

It's a small step forward but I'll take it!
I'm trying NOT to get excited about this but... I can't help it... it's the best news I've had in 2 wks.

Please keep those prayers coming! Thanks so much!!
Zip

[slick]

Oh Tonya, I've been logging on to PT all day waiting for an update. I sure don't like the sound of that Dr. S. I can't believe that your Mom was not given the full explanation the first time around. Also, perhaps she was referring to the BUN levels. That's usually the first number that tells what shape the kidneys are in.

I just don't see how you CAN'T get excited with this news. I just know that all these Pet Talk prayers are working and little Tink will be back to her normal self in no time. I know that I'm not there, but my gut tells me that she is not ready for the RB yet...and my gut usually does lie.

{{{hugs}}} Sis.
slick xo

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Ditto what Slick said. I'm so happy there's even a glimmer of hope for Tinkerbelle! :)

[zippy-kat]

I talked to Shais_Mom on the phone around lunch time today, she said, "Sounds to me like Dr. N needs to do some house cleaning." Thankfully(?), that's happening.

Dr. S will be leaving but it's by her own choice; her husband was transferred out of state. However, until Dr. N can find a new partner, she's filling in 2-3x a wk to help him out.


I feel really mean for "bashing" Dr. S ( :o , :( ) -- she's a super sweet lady with a very compassionate soul... I just don't care for her vet skills.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Tonya,
I'm glad to hear that Tinkerbelle is doing better and
I hope that these treatments will be able to help her. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. (((HUGS)))

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm so glad Tinker is feeling a bit better. Prayers are continuing for her.

I'm also glad your vet has decided to do some spring cleaning, so to speak. It doesn't matter how wonderful a person is, sometimes they just aren't suited for certain jobs. I hope Dr. S, finds the right job for her when they move.

[wolf_Q]

Glad to hear the news about Tinker is improving!

[Rachel]

Just wondering how Tinkerbelle is doing these days. Does anyone know?

[momcat]

St. Francis of Assissi, the patron saint of animals is close by and watching over all your sweet pets. Many prayers are being prayed for a positive outcome.....

[sandragonfly]

hey tonya..

I've been waiting too, sometimes "no news" are not good! hope to see your good updates coming up..

and..zippy! I have about a half smile on my face, because I think your squacky have sent us something (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81449) here! :) I know he's injuried too but he found me...us.

hope it'd be okay with you for me to name him after your squacky... I know how devastating this can be!

Tonya, prayers and good thoughts are on the way from Tennessee to you and your family. I hope everything starts going better for you.

[zippy-kat]

Thanks for checking on us, guys. Sorry I haven't updated before now - I just really haven't felt like posting much.

It's been 2 wks, 1 day since Squacky died but it seems so much longer than that. I sure do miss that lil' squirt. He was doing so well, I'm not sure what happened.

One of his "babier" pictures:
http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/squack_11.jpg

I have more I would like to share with everyone but I can't look through/post them yet; it hurts too much.

Staci (shais_mom) sent me a silver squirrel charm that I wear constantly. :)




As for Kissiekat... we still haven't had her nose checked yet - will do that on the 27th. That's the earliest appointment I could get her when I called. (Doc S has completely quit now so they're trying to work her appointments into Doc N's schedule.) I really feel it's nothing but, for my peace of mind, I want it looked at. Here's a pic of it:

http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/kcee_09.jpg
(She was takin' a bath... or maybe blowing raspberries at the camera!)



Now, for dear Tinker... :(
Her counts have gone down but not much, not as much as he'd hoped anyway. She has good days and bad days, though I think the bad out number the good. When we'd first started the dialysis, she perked up and gained a bit of weight; she's lost that now. She's anemic and her red (or maybe white) blood cell count is down.

We're giving her the dialysis (subcu-fluids) treatments at home now and they've mixed in a potassium solution. She's also on procreatin (spelling? to stimulate production of the blood cells) shots, pepcid-type shots (to soothe any sores in her mouth or stomach and perk up her appetite), and liquid antibiotics. She HAS to feel like a pin cushion (granted, the two shots are actually injected into the subcu mixture).

I think the Pepcid-stuff burns her; she all but howls when we inject that.


I don't know how much we can rightly put her through but we've come too far to just stop. Doc N still feels that, if we can get her to a certain point, we can control it through diet and meds. While she is (S L O W L Y) showing results, but... I dunno. :(

Her next appointment is Monday.

This was from one of her perkier days:
http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/tinker_03.jpg




Does anyone remember Sid? I think I've only posted his picture once. We got him from the Humane Society right before we had to have Clarice PTS. He's a dork! :D I'll throw a couple of pictures in for good measure:

http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/Sid_09.jpg
He likes to wear that feather boa. :rolleyes: And bottle tops are his allll time favorite. lol

http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/Sid_03.jpg

To show off his markings:
http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/sid.jpg


That's about it from us. Piper's still being "weird" and refuses to come out of his cage; he's not as sociable as Miz Sophie was. And Sara's the same ol' silly Sara! I have pics of them but they're still on the camera.

{{hugs}}

[Cinder & Smoke]

:)

Good to hear from you, Zippy!! ;)

The FurKids remain on our Purrayer List ...

Glad Tinker is holding her own and making some progress!

K'Cee looks as CUTE as ever -
we'll vote for that *spot* being a Beauty Mark!

Sid ??
So he's a bit *odd* with his wardrobe ... adds "character" to the herd!

Squacky ...
I'm sure he's R.I.P. at the Bridge ~
Krackin Nutz for God ... Mom has prolly got him workin for her
in God's Kitchen - Krackin Nuts to use in her cookies!

{{{HUGS}}}

And Bowser sends a big *Waggity~WAGG*!!

;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks for the uppydate, Zippy. :)

So much to cover....

What a cutie pie Squacky was! So sorry he was called to the bridge so soon, but I'm sure he's having a great time at the RB with Sophie and Clarice. :(

K'Cee's spot does look like a birthmark type thing, but since it has just recently appeared I would have it checked out too. Better safe than sorry.

Who could forget Sid, especially now that we've seen his "other side." ;) :D In the first pic he looks like he's sucking on a pacifier - too cute. :D Sure glad he's bringing some comic relief to your house.

As for Tinker :( sorry to hear she's not improving. Sounds like exactly what happened to Tubby except that it progressed much faster with Tubby. His red blood count was extremely low at the end. I guess first it's the kidneys, then the other organs (like the liver) stop functioning correctly also. The body starts forming new white blood cells to counteract the affects of the kidney and liver failure and eventually, if left long enough, there would be no red blood cells left at all. She is such a beautiful kitty and I hope and pray that she will let you know when she's had enough. :(

What about the Newfie? Any luck in capturing him?

[slick]

Zip....I've been worried about you since you've been so quiet lately. Thanks for posting the uppydate. I just know that Squacky is enjoying life at the RB and is eternally grateful for the love you showed him. Bless you for rescuing this little furbaby when you did.

As with the other opinions, that sweet little spot on K'Cee's nose looks like a freckle or beauty mark...best let the vet confirm that. In the meantime, may I please kiss that precious pink nosie???
KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS

Dear Sid....your new wardrobe looks devine however don't you think it's a little "feminine" for a boy like you??? Oh I get it....you are "man" enough to wear anything! Kisses to you sweetie. My gosh, just wait until Mz Edwina sees that boa. She will want one for heself.

Glad to hear that Tinky is hanging in there. I know how hard it is to watch a furkid grow older. I pray that she will be with you for a while longer. When the time comes, seek comfort from your friends and all of us here.

You forever remain in my prayers, Lil Sis.
slick xo

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I know why Sid likes wearing that boa! He's playing "lion in the jungle" and it looks like a mane!

K'Cee is as adorable as ever. I'm voting for a beauty mark on her nose. Fingers crossed !

I'm sure Squacky is lots of help at the RB. He got to experience the love of a human. Not something every squirrel gets to do. I'm sure he is grateful for all you did for him.

Prayers still flying for sweet Tinker. Give them all a kiss from me, ok? Even shy Piper!

[zippy-kat]

Hi Bowser Boy! There's a certain someone who's having a burstday in October... rumor has it that a certain New Mexican and a certain Californian might be there for it and (possibly) a dog park meeting. No definite plans yet though!

I've always felt my Kissiekat was very intuitive and "in sync" with those she was overly fond of...


K'Cee and Tink have always been good buddies but K'Cee and Sid ... well, K'Cee tolerates Sid (most of the time - sometimes she can resist a good thwack at him).

When we first got Sid, K'cee was mean to him. Then she mellowed out and tolerated (almost to the point of playing) him.

Before Tink was taken to the vet, K'Cee started being MEAN to Sid again and wouldn't let him into the same room with Tinker. We honestly think she was trying to "protect" Tink.

After we took Tink to the vet and she perked up a bit, K'Cee was mellow again. Lately, K'Cee's been in a huff (though today she's pretty quiet). So, we sorta gage Tinker's progress based on K'Cee's actions. (I hope that made sense.)

Because Kiss loves Tink so much, I'm worried about what she's going to be like when Tink passes to the RB. But HOPEFULLY, that won't be for a long, long time yet.

Here's some pink for my sweetie, Sid.... ;)

And here are some hugs for you, Tink and K'Cee. I hope the vets can give her something that'll put her where she was last week.

Hugs,

I hope Tonya doesn't get upset with me updating this. This is a c/p from her LJ...

In the short time I've been up, Tinker's gotten progressively worse. (And K'Cee's started being ugly towards Sid again.) She went to the litterbox, made a dribble, went back to her bed. Mom got her up -was going to cuddle her- and Tink's bed was soaked. Mom set Tink down so she could gather up the blankets for the wash; Tinker walked from Mom's bedroom to the hallway, dribbling all the way. It wasn't that her fur was dripping, it's that she's lost control of her bathroom functions.

We have 2 litterboxes in the utility room, a BIG (open) one and a smaller covered one. Tink got inside the big one and tried to poop. Nothing came out. She got inside the little one and made one small poop (Piper makes bigger poops).

When she lays on her side, she's doing this odd thing with her back foot. We're wondering if she's in pain.


I don't think we're going to give treatments today.



please keep them in your continued thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Healing vibes, anything.....

thanks...

I'm so sorry to hear about Tinker. :( Rest in peace sweet girl.

[captain]

I only saw this NOW!!!

Zip, {{{hugs}}} to you ......... and play happily at the RB Tink.:(

[Rachel]

Tinker was well loved and exceptionally well cared for. What a lucky kitty she was. But that doesn't ease the pain of those who will miss her and wish that there had been something....anything more that could have been done for their little one.

Whenever *one of our own* passes on to the Rainbow Bridge, it brings back the memories of the others who have gone before and the times of their passing and the empty, empty feelings that become part of our very essence. I don't know that anyone has really found a better way to ease that kind of pain. So we all try to cope the best we can and remember we need to care and cherish the ones who remain (even more).

Tonya and family, I am so sorry.

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm so sorry for your loss Tonya. You are in our thoughts

RIP dear Tinker.

Tonya I'm very saddened to hear about this:( BIG {{{HUGS}}} coming your way. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers sweetie.
