    Iris is crossing the rainbow bridge tomorrow.

    Iris is now not eating and having accidents. She won't eat enough to even get all of her meds into her. We've made the awful decision to have her PTS tomorrow. I keep second guessing myself. I know the end is inevitable, I just didn't think it would come this soon!

    HUGS.

    Her poor little body is starting to lose control of itself with the accidents...

    I have been there, I know how it is...you have loved her and done everything for her that you could. She is much luckier than some kitties - she is blessed to have had you, and you her, no matter how long or short the time.

    She will go to the Bridge surrounded by love, and not alone.

    Please give her a kiss for me.

    PT Prayers are with you for peace.

    So very sorry to hear this. Her last months were filled with your love and caring for her. Tell her to look for Henry when she gets to the Bridge - he will show her a good time!

    I'm so sorry, but please do not second guess yourself. You are only doing what is best for Iris. She knows you love her and will miss her, but she is letting you know it's time.

    Iris, like the lovely flower
    For which her beauty is named
    Will not last in life forever,
    Such beauty fleeting is
    But in your heart's eye she'll be
    As lovely as a flower ever
    And though her life is fading away
    Her beauty will last in your heart forever.

    I am so sorry to hear about Iris. Don't punish yourself for making a decision that will ultimately be the kindest thing you can do for her. Just let her know that you love her.

    (((hugs))) to both of you.

    Have a safe and smooth trip, Iris

    Your family will miss you but we all know that you will arrive at the rainbow bridge, all relaxed and happy and ready to play with all of your favorite cat buddies waiting for you there. You were loved Iris and your family will be very sad without you. Have a safe trip sweetie.

    So many of us have had to go through what you are about to experience. Please know that you have the love and support of all of us. ((((hugs)))) Goodbye sweet Iris. You were loved very much.

    It's never easy to let them go but this is the last act of kindness that you will do for your sweet Iris. She knows how loved she is and we wish you peace during this difficult time and know that we're there w/you in thought. Thank you for doing the unselfish thing.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I am sorry this happened so quickly. But maybe that is best for Iris; more difficult for you. {{hugs}}
