I'm SO sorry, Lara.
Silly boy wouldn't take his meds...
If ever there was a time for a miracle, this would be it.
{{{{hugs}}}}
I'm so sorry to hear that Tiger isn't doing well.:( I sure hope that things will start to improve. He remains in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
I just keep hoping and praying for a miracle for Tiger. He's such a gorgeous boy, and seems to have such a sweet personality. It's just so sad, and so not fair.
Big hugs going out to you both!!
The Pet Angels Are With Tiger, And Are Trying To Make Him Comfortable, So He Can Get Well, And Be With The Ones Who Love Him.:(
Thats Sad When Our Friends Are Ill, And We Feel So Helpless That Theres Nothing We Can Do To Help Them:(
It was July 20 last year that you first posted about Tiger...I can't believe where the time has gone.
I hope he has had a longer and better life than he might have...that he was comfy for most of it...and for sure, no kitty was better loved than Tiger.
{{{{hugs}}}}
Thanks for that. LES
I was thinking last night how it was a year ago that this all started and in May of '07 I noticed that his breathing sounded rumbly and it took a few months to get vets to believe me that something wasn't right.
If I had been told a year ago that I would have a whole year with him after he was diagnosed, I would have been filled with relief to have that year so I have to look at this as a gift. I do believe the Transfer Factor gave him this extra time along with the multiple surgeries and I'm thankful that you found that link for me about TF so I could provide that for Tiger. :)
He seems to be in pain today and I'm thinking about letting him go to RB tomorrow but I will see how he is in the morning. He is so sweet and I've been crying alot lately because there is simply nothing left for me to do.
I keep asking God to take him in his sleep each night but it's not happening so I will do this last thing for him to help him. :(
That's positive thing to look at. All the wonderful days that you were able to spend with him since discovering his problem. Saying goodbye is terribly hard and please be assured that you and Tiger and the rest of the gang are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Lara, we will all be with you in that room when you decide that it is the right time for Tiger to go to RB.
LES.........

I'm so very sorry to hear this about "our" sweet Tiger. You know that his eyes will tell you when the time is right and you will not be alone.
{{{hugs}}}

Letting our beloved animals go to RB really is such a hard decision to make -- so many times you wonder if the time is right, and if there's really no way for your friend to get better. Even when you do know what has to be done, it is so hard to say goodbye.
To echo what so many others have said, you and Tiger are in my thoughts and prayers. You're not alone now, and you won't be alone when the time comes for Tiger to go to RB.
I know that the "extra" year you've had together has been a blessing -- and I hope you are able to feel some consolation in knowing that Tiger has had a life touched with the kind of love and compassion that many animals (heck, many people) never experience. You have done, and continue to do, everything you can for Tiger's well being. God bless you!
Much love,
Diana
Oh, I'm so sorry that this is happening. You and sweet Tiger have really been through a lot together and he knows how much you love him and how you did your best to keep him comfortable. They instinctively know. We'll be w/you, as always, every step of the way, no matter what decision you make. Prayers going up for you and Tiger and lots of comforting (((HUGS))), too. :love:
I'm so sorry to hear that Tiger is in pain, and not doing better. He has made such an impact here on PT this past year, and has just touched the hearts of all of us. He's been loved from near and far, and he'll be able to feel that when the time does come for him to go to the Bridge.
My thoughts, prayers and tears are with you... big hugs to you!
I just read your post in Candice's thread about Tiger and I am so sorry. Your message brought tears to my eyes. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you and Tiger feel better, but know that we are all praying for you here at PT. Tiger is loved very dearly by you and will always have a place in your heart. Prayers and thoughts going your way. I will definitely be thinking about you both.
I'm so sorry to hear that Tiger is in pain and not doing well.:( You've done everything possible for him and have gone above and beyond to help him. Making the decision to let him go to Rainbow Bridge is such a difficult one but you are making the right unselfish choice and thinking of his quality of life. We'll never forget him and he'll always be loved. I wish that I could say something to comfort you during this difficult time but all I can do from here is to send you some cyber hugs and let you know that I'll be thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
Thank you all so much for your kind words. They brought me to tears but they've really helped me. I will know that I will not be alone tomorrow when he is put down, I have all of you guys thinking about him too which means so much. I made his appointment for 9:45a.m. (pacific time). I probably should have booked it for today but I'm being selfish and keeping him with me for one last night. It just didn't feel like the right day though I know I can't wait any longer than tomorrow.
Thank you everybody for being there for me and for Tiger this past year. It has meant so very much.
LES One more night - tons of cuddles and loves and kisses from me, please! :love::love::love::love::love:
We will all be with you, Lara. I am so - glad? - that you chose us to share Tiger's journey with. I wish we could have saved him.
Someone here has a saying in their siggy or somewhere - "If love could have saved you, you would be alive today." With you and Tiger, that is absolutely true.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
I get tears everytime I open this thread. Please know that you and Tiger will be in my thoughts tomorrow. Give that boy big hugs for me please. I am going to miss him.
As always, you're doing exactly the right thing. Hard as it is, this is the decision that needed to be made. :( I am so, so very sorry for what you and your sweet boy are going through.
I'll be thinking of you both tonight and tomorrow; please give Tiger a kiss on the head for me.
Love & prayers to you,
Diana
Lara, we will send up prayers that Tiger's transition will be an easy one. He deserves a peaceful trip to the Bridge. It's so difficult to even type this; I can only imagine what you must be experiencing right now. Peace to all you and savor your precious moments w/sweet Tiger. :love:
My thoughts and prayers will be with you tonight and tomorrow. I hope that everything will go smoothly, and that Tiger will be at peace. I'm so sad to see things conclude this way, I think we all hoped he would make a miraculous recovery.
Tiger boy, you've stolen the hearts of so many here. I'll miss seeing your handsome face in pics, but you will remain in my heart. :love:
All of our thoughts and prayers will be wth you. It is never easy, but it is for the best. I'm so sorry.
Our prayers are with you and Tiger. I am so sorry.
Lara, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
Tiger was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. I hope you are doing ok.
My thoughts are with you today. I just read the update. I am so sorry to read that one, but like Candace, I am glad you shared his journey over the last year with us.
Big hugs to you.
Crystal
Thinking of you and Tiger.....
I sent Lara a very brief PM yesterday...she replied as she was on her way to bed, and said she would post on Saturday.
I pray it was painless and peaceful for Tiger...but will sure be painful for her and her hubby.
