Thank you all SO much. She is resting comfortably on her beloved Daddy's lap right now. I just wanted to post a video I took of her last Wednesday. She was then, and still is such a chow hound! Which is really making us doubt our decision. But even towards the end of this video - a week ago - you can see that she had to search by nose to find the chicken we were giving her. and it has only gotten worse. :( And a picture for those who can't see the video.

Thanks again everyone, and Phred, as usual you made the dam break (LES dam that is), thank you so much.

I love the little gurgly meow she makes - means the purrs have started and she wants MORE! lol

But I can also see the sniffing around...and a certain glint in her eye (not just when looking right up) that, if my cats showed it, would tell me something was wrong.

Dear widdle girl! HUGS to her - PLEASE give her a gentle pat from me.

Blessings and peace to the two of you.

Is CJ showing any sign that he notices she is not quite right?

{{{{HUGS}}}}

Sweet little girl. I can certainly understand why you're uncertain. But you'll make the right decision at the right time. I'm so sorry for your sadness. I wish I could blink and make it all go away. Peanut, my fur posse and I all send you love and kisses.

Blessings,
Mary

Theres nothing sadder than to see a beloved Companion slowly getting old, and know that one day they will no longer be with us physically.
But thier sprit will always be there, and they will always be a part of our lives.
Prayers for Peanut are coming from the Found Cats, and we pray for her Guardians as well.

Debbie,

I've been dreading this day for you and Terry. Peanut is such a little sweetheart and knowing her time is to leave is heartbreaking.

Peanut has always been a favourite - she so reminds me of my dear little Roxy - also a maine coon.

She has had a wonderful life; she loves you and Terry dearly and will leave the most incredible imprint on your heart - just like her big brother Tubby :)

Those are the precious memories that keep them with us for all time. Even through the pain, remembering moments can make us smile.

Dear little Peanut - you are so special to so many. Rest sweetly baby girl and come visit you mommy and daddy from time to time - they're going to need it. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you.

Hugs and Prayers,

Betty

Debbie, I am so sorry to hear that Peanut has gotten so much worse. :(
Sending hugs your way and please give Peanut a gentle hug and kiss from me and Samantha sends some comforting purrs her way as well.

(Phred, your post gave me a bad case of LES)

Oh Gosh, not our little boxed kitty Peanut. :(

Debbie and Terry, my heart goes out to the both of you on making one of the hardest decision any pet lover has to make and dreads.

Phred, as usual, your prayers have brought on major LES.

Have a peaceful passing dear Peanut.

I'm so sorry to hear about Peanut. :( I know what you are going through, we recently when through the same with Reggie. It is such a hard thing to do when you love them so much. :( I know Peanut has had a wonderful life with you and she'll be waiting for you with Tubby at the bridge. {{hugs}}

My thoughts exactly...Prayers on the way from all of us here too.

My thoughts are certainly with you all... may God be with your sweet little Peanut.

I'm new to the board, but I've loved reading about her and looking at all of her photos.

Sending hugs along with my thoughts and prayers,
Crystal

I'm so sorry. I was another long-time admirer of Peanut...this is heart-breaking.

Her epitaph: "I was well loved."

This is what is important in every cat's life.

Oh Debbie, my heart aches for you.
I am so sorry that you have had to make this decision.
Lots of hugs and love across the miles.

Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear this.:( It so hard to make this decision. May Peanut go peacefully to the Bridge.:( My thoughts are with you and Terry during this difficult time. ((HUGS)))

Oh Debbie,
my heart is breaking for you and Terry. I am so sorry that the time to let sweet Peanut go has come.
I sent many many hugs to all of you and one tender kiss for your sweet little princess.

Peanut is one of the leading ladies at PT- we'll miss her terribly.

Debbie, Terry and CJ,

Our hearts break along with you at this most difficult time. Thank you so much for sharing Precious Princess Peanut with us all these years. She has touched many hearts.


Godspeed Precious Princess Peanut.

Oh Debbie, I am sending good thoughts to you and Peanut.
I hope she leaves peacefully. Dear Peanut we love you.

My thoughts are with you and little Peanut. Peanut has been such a star and such a strong girl through all she has gone through. I have seen her on Pet Talk since I joined and she has done so well with such courage and strength.
I hope the crossing over to the bridge is safe and painless.
We are all thinking of you.

Kate, Kevin & Jack & Sunny xx

Debbie, I am so very sorry to hear about our beloved little Peanut. My prayers will be with you and her as she makes her final journey to the RB.

All of us here will be there for you. Poor little girl, I hope she will go easily; her star will shine brightly for all of us to see.

((((hugs)))) to you and your little sweetheart. :(

What a touching video..... :( .
Godspeed to the RB, sweet Peanut.... my darling Sydney is waiting to welcome you!!

Any updates?

Debbie, I have been thinking of you, Terry and Peanut since I saw this yesterday. Peanut has always held a special spot in my heart, there is just something about that pretty little girl that melts my heart.

Miss Tucker wants Peanut to know that she sends her very best.

(((HUGS))) Meg & the Crew

So sorry to hear this sad news - thinking of you and sending hugs from across the miles. :( :(
Peanut is such a sweetie pie and she is very lucky to have you as her personal slave! Dogs have masters but Cats have servants - so true!
xxxxxxx

I also just wanted to let you know that you're in my thoughts today! Sweet Peanut's video touched my heart, especially her little voice!

Kirsten

Hi, Peanut!

Hope you're all packed for the big trip ...
We're all gonna *miss* you down here on the Durt Ball - but we know you'll enjoy
your revitalized life up at The Bridge. Say HI to Tubby for us!

And don't be a stranger - you're always welcome to pop out of your Urn and
ride along in the Howze - just follow Tubby - he does it quite often.

Safe Trip, lil Peanut ... God's Speed ...

================================================== =====

Dear Debbie & Terry ~

God will Bless you both for your years of dedicated care, and your strength at this difficult time.
You gave Miz Peanut a very full and Loving Life - she'll have no regrets.

{{{Hug}}} each other, and CJ, then remember the Great Times you all shared with Peanut.
It will help you to *smile* through your tears.

{{{Hugs}}}

You have my phone numbers - I'm at work today but don't hesitate to call here if you need to talk. I'll always be here for you and Terry.

Speckles says they have the red carpet all laid out for your arrival. Oh yes, and there is a Princess Tiara waiting for you too! Nothing but the best for our Peanut.

Peanut is snuggling on my lap right now as I type. She did fall off the bed this morning - but fortunately didn't hurt herself - which only confirmed to us that we are making the right decision.

The vet is scheduled between 1 & 2 Mountain time. I probably won't get the memorial thread up until Friday because Terry is having a hard time with all this and he needs a diversion so we will be away this afternoon, tonight & tomorrow.

Her bags are packed and she is ready to go. She barely lifted her head when we got back to the motorhome this morning after breakfast. She got up only enough to come snuggle on my lap, and this is where she will stay until the vet gets here.

Thank you all again for you love and support. It really means the world to us. {{{hugs}}} :(

I wish this weren't happening. I wish Peanut only comfort and love and warmth. And I wish the same for you. I'll keep the candles burning for your heartache and for Peanut's safe passage. Love and blessings to you all. I'm so sorry.

Blessings,
Mary

I have been back to this thread I think 10 or 12 times and could not bring myself to post. I went through almost the identical same thing with my Mytsi in 2003. Not only did I lose her to the same but her and Peanut could have been twins that's how much alike they look. And each time I read this thread about sweet princess Peanut the memories and hurt came rushing back. The only real difference is instead of Mytsi losing her eyesight she lost the use of her limbs.

I know how difficult this is and believe me I feel for you both so very much. I pray for Peanut to have a easy passing but I am positive she will. It's time and not only do you both know this but she knows it too. She is ready. You have given her the most love anyone can give to a beloved furkid. And now you give her the greatest gift. The greatest show of love you can give her. You are releasing her into the hands of God.

Tubby will be waiting at the bridge and I know my girls will be there too. Mytsi will meet her beautiful 'look-a-like' and heaven will receive another precious kitty soul to help brighten the skies.

((((((((hugs to you both))))))))) and please give Peanut a little kiss for me and tell her she is loved by many.

During morning prayers, I reminded them sweet Peanut would be arriving today. The welcome home party is all ready. What a crowd is there waiting for here. Tubby and Miss Sophie are at the head of the line!

Peanut you will be so missed. Have a soft landing at the bridge sweetheart! :(

:( Dear little Peanut. I sure love that girl and will miss her greatly. Thanks for the update Debbie. I'm thinking of you & Terry during this very hard time. Come visit us if you need to get away!

Debbie, thank you for the update. I too will be thinking of you and Terry.

I remember the look in Tigger's eyes when I came home from work that Monday, Peanut has the same look in hers.

Tigger and Tony will be there to greet Miss Peanut with open arms and fresh catnip.

Peanut, may your journey be safe and swift. We will all miss you dearly. :(

Dear Debbie & Terry ~

If you listen carefully, between 1 & 2 PM today,
you'll hear the Sounds of Silence - from all over the World ...

With only the soft sounds of Tears Falling ...

That's all your Friends, sharing your grief;
but knowing Peanut is headed for a Better Place,
with clear eyes and her kitten-like body of days past.

{{{Hugs}}}

It is very hard! Hang in there and if you need to talk or anything, we're not that far away.

Oh (((((Debbie))))!!! :(

Kirsten

Lots of love, hugs and prayers going your way. I am so sorry.

Debbie and Terry, you're in my thoughts at this very sad time. :( :( I'm sure little Peanut is sitting on your lap and trying to let you know she is ready. Oh, it's so hard!

Please give her extra kisses from me and Fister.

(((((((((hugs))))))))

{{{{{{{Debbie & Terry}}}}}}}

I am sorry, Debbie, I do not have just the right words for you today. :(
