Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

......one last time.

First of all I must apologize again for not being around much. I can see there are some important threads I need to respond to, but for now....

The mobile vet is scheduled to come out tomorrow. :-(

Peanut is straining more and more as she pees, and nothing is making it better anymore. She is also straining significantly to poop and I know it hurts her. Along with that, we know her one remaining functioning kidney is getting worse because even with the fluids she is becoming more and more lethargic. And finally the topper, she has gone blind. I could tell her eyes were getting worse, but just two days ago I noticed it was really bad and yesterday she started bumping into walls and walking around in circles like she was lost. We're afraid she's going to fall and hurt herself since she is so frail to begin with. I haven't weighed her lately, but she has to be down to about 4 1/2 lbs. She is a frail tiny little old lady.

Now that she can't see at all, she either sits in a lump on the rug on the floor, or wants to be on one of our laps. Even a week ago she was perky, happy and interested in what's going on around her - i.e. sitting and sniffing when the front door was open, etc. Now all she does is sit in a lump on the little rug on the floor. It's as if when she's there she knows where she's at and she doesn't want to move. The only thing she perks up for is food - silly little girl - which makes us question our decision, but we know in our hearts it's time to let her go.

So, please send prayers and good thoughts for her that her last hours are relatively pain free and she makes a peaceful crossing to the RB.

Oh no, I hate to hear this. Many prayers for Peanut and her meowmie. I'm sure Tubby is there with her, helping her through the fear she must be experiencing.

(((hugs))))

I am so sorry, our prayers go out for You as well as your precious Peanut.
Sleep sweetly little girl. :(

Oh Debbie I hate to read this. You all will be in my thoughts and I pray for a painless journey for our little Peanut. Please give her a kiss and hug for me and tell we all love her!

Oh Debbie, I am so very sorry to read this. All of us have loved Peanut right along with you - so it will be a loss for us all.

My heart goes out to you both.

LES

{{{{HUGS}}}}

oh I wish that dear little one could plug along some more - she has been such a trooper!

I am so sad about this...nothing compared to what you are feeling, I know.

PEACE little Peanut...you are so so loved......

I'm so sorry about your little precious girl Peanut. Safe trip to the Bridge. {{Hugs}}

Poor Peanut :( It is so sad to hear about how much she has gone downhill. almost like she is a shell of her former self. :( I'm so glad that
you both are around her to help Peanut feel safe.Rest easy little one.

Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to read this news, but am glad you can help her along to the RB in her own comfortable home. Prayers and good thoughts for dear Peanut and for you! I'm sure Tubby will be there to help Peanut across the bridge when the time comes. :(

**hugs**

I've been afraid for a few days that something had happened. Peanuts couldn't have had a better life nor a more loving guardian. I'm sure she will slip away very peacefully, only aware that you are still there with her. I am deeply sorry for the pain you are and will experience.

Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear that Peanut is failing. I know what you are going through ((((HUGS)))) and special prayers being sent to you immediately. Spend every last second with Peanut and keep in mind all the special times you have spent with her. I know you know that you are doing the right thing but it does not make it any easier.

A safe and peaceful trip to the Bridge Miss Peanut. :( You will be greatly missed. :(

Oh Debbie...I am so sorry for you. But do you know what struck me when I read this? Cats normally hide when they are sick. Peanut loves you so much and finds such comfort in the presence of you and Terry that she prefers to be in your presence or on you lap.

Godspeed Peanut!

Debbie, I don't log on much anymore either but when I read the title, my heart just stopped. Now that I've read her plight, my eyes are filled with tears and there's major LES going on here. :( :( Thank goodness I have an office door to close.

I know just how you feel because I watched Speckles fade away even as I gave her fluids. It's so hard to know what to say to you. Just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the "little snot" (as you once put it) for as many days as she has left and please tell her that Auntie Slick loves her very much.


{{{hugs}}}

I am so sorry to hear that precious Peanut is going downhill. :( Please give her a special snuggle from me tonight.

He he, that was exactly what came into my mind when I read how sick Peanut doesn't go into hiding at all. She knows how much she is loved, and she feels you are always there to take care of her, to give her tons of love...!
I am so sorry that such a beautiful lady is in so much pain... . I will pray that you will find the perfect moment to let her go! In the meantime, I would stay with her and cuddle her as much as possible.... . I know I would take a million of pics now.... :(

Oh, Debbie .. tears keep blurring my view.

As requested prayers & good thoughts going out for precious Princess Peanut.

I am so sorry.(((BIG HUGS)))
You and Peanut are in my prayers.

Major LES here. As a mommy who has a 16 and half year old who is getting that "frail" look, my heart is breaking for you.

Lots of prayers for all of you!

Aw, sweet Peanut, have a safe trip sweetie. Tubby will be there to meet you and you will always be in our hearts.

I'm so very sorry. God speed to the bridge for this lovely little lady. And {{{{{hugs}}}}} for both of you and CJ.

Tons of ((((hugs)))) and prayers coming your way.

I'm so sorry Debbie. My heart sank as I read this.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry. Sweet little Peanut! She's had a life full of love, and she'll live on curled up right next to Tubby in your heart.

Oh no, Debbie, it breaks my heart to read these news on beautiful little Peanut!!

I know she had a very long and happy life, and from what you describe, it really sounds she is ready to go, but it's so sad! :(

I will keep you and her in my thoughts. I know it's the best you can do for her at this point, but it makes me so sad!

(((HUGS)))

Kirsten

Oh Debbie, I have so loved your little Peanut! I know how this must be breaking both of your hearts. :( She has fought for a long time, and even now she wants to be close to you. It is time for her to join dear Tubby at the bridge, and I pray that she goes peacefully.

Hugs to you and Terry! :( :(

Oh Debbie & Terry-

I am SO sorry to hear this! Are you sure this has nothing to do with the cold snap we are having? I know Fluffy is doing the same things :(

Maybe the vet will have an idea of what is going on and maybe a temporary "fix" will help.

I know my RB Willie hid the entire last week, wouldn't even come out to eat or take a cheese treat....which he loved dearly. The fact that she still eats, give me hope, but you both know what is best for her.

Please give her a big hug from all of us, and I am so happy that I at least got to meet her and CJ (and of course the both of you!)

:( now that I have ruined my eye make up for the day (LES) it is worth it, we all love you Peanut!!!!

Oh Debbie, I am so sorry. I found this thread doing a general search and when I saw the title my heart dropped. Big hugs to you and gentle hugs to sweet Peanut. RIP, sweet. :(

Oh, Debbie, I am so sorry to hear dear sweet Peanut is not doing so well. At least she wants to be close to you. Prayers and good thoughts are going out to you and Peanut, that she crosses easily, to join Tubby at the RB.

Rest in Peace, sweet little Peanut.

Willie

I'm so sorry to hear about Peanut. It sounds as though you and I have been going through similar experiences except that my Puddy can see. I wish you didn't have to do what you know you must but be comforted in the fact that all of us here at PT are praying for you and for Peanut's easy passing. A candle burns for you all.

Blessings,
Mary

Oh my, I am so sorry to read this thread. I have LES, and I can barely type.

Sweet little Peanut. She reminds me so much of my own Tabitha, 18 years old, and looking a little frail herself. Tabby is very petite also, and their colorings are somewhat the same.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this... but I agree that she knows where she finds comfort, and that is with you and your husband. No hiding for that little girl. Hug her and love on her as much as you can. And know that you are making the right decision.

Godspeed sweet little Peanut. Godspeed.

This is such sad, sad news and I know what a heart wrenching decision it is to make. That said, I've seen situations where people definitely tried to hang on too long and that seemed even worse. Others are more eloquent than I in saying something profound, so if you don't mind, I just sit here and cry a bit with you. {hugs}

Debbie - reading about Peanut made my heart sink and ache. I think she is a PT darling for many of us. I am glad that she is seeking comfort in your lap for the end of her life.

I have said my prayers for all of you and will keep you close in my thoughts. I am so sorry.

Debby & Terry,

I am oh so sorry to hear this, I know how hard it is to make that decision. But I know you both know the right thing to do for your sweet darling girl.

Lot of (((HUGS))) heading your way.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

And Prayers. :(

Debbie and Terry, it breaks my heart to hear it's time for Peanut to go. :( She's such a little sweetheart. I know how hard it is for you, but I also know you're making the right decision not to let her suffer. Peanut knows she can rely on you until the end and that is what she is showing you now. You have given her SO much love and comfort and she's had a wonderful long life with you. I'm sure she feels your love.

Peanut, you will be missed very much by us all, but you'll never be forgotten. You'll always be in your mom and dad's hearts - and ours too.

I'm sending special kisses and gentle headbumpies to little Peanut and wish for her and for you that her passing to the RB will be peaceful.

Rest in Peace, sweet Peanut!

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

Oh Debbie :( Peanut has been in my thoughts and prayers lately and I was afraid to ask. My heart breaks to read this news, but you know best and it sounds like dear little Peanut is letting you know that her time is near. I can barely see to type this.

Two of my favourite pictures of Peanut. I did a search and Debbie has deleted most of them from imagestation. Good thing I've saved them all on CD at home.

Debbie, please plant a kiss on Peanut's forehead and say good-bye from Auntie Slick. :( Speckles will be waiting for you dear Peanut.

Phred...all I can say is LES, LES LES!!! :( :(
