    I am so sorry to hear this. I was checking in, hoping for a good update, but I see that she is going downhill. It is a very difficult decision, but perhaps she is telling you with her eyes that it is time to make the journey. If that is what you decide I am sure that she will be grateful to you for making it as easy as possible. She is probably very tired and looking forward to making the crossing where she will once again be in good health.


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    Vickie, as hard as it is, it is the absolute most courageous and unselfish act we can do for our pets who have loved us so long. Please know that you and Speckles are in our thoughts and prayers. I wish I could be there with you to hug you and hold your hand. It is such a peaceful time when they are released from their pain, although it is so hard for those they leave behind.

    Much love,
    Logan

    Vickie ~ I'm so sorry that Speckles isn't getting better. My heart aches for you and the decision we all face. Sweet, sweet Speckles.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    I am so sorry for what you are going to have to do. Although, this is the greatest gift of love that you can give her

    Dear Slick! I wish I could be there to comfort you in this sad time.

    I know how hard is to let Specles go, but I hope it will be a comfort for you to know that you have done all you could for her, and also that she doesn't have to suffer unneccesary.

    Speckles have had a good and long life with you, and if she's ready to cross to the RB, I promise that John will be there to welcome her and give her hugs and scritchies.

    When Fister's mom got ill, I had to make that same decision, and it was hard - even though I didn't like her that much, I cried for days.

    Slick, contact me whenever you need to talk - I'll be here for you!

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

    I just spoke to the vet and he will be here at 5:30pm today. It's confirmed that her body is shutting down and will not work to absorb the fluids. Please pray for a peaceful passing for my Baby Girl. Her breathing is a bit "laboured" so I really know it's time. I don't want to wait too long and have her in pain.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Dear Slick,

    My heart breaks for you this morning.

    I know the pain, it is almost as though you cannot catch your breath, it hurts so much.

    But if today you let her go, the consolation is that she is truly free of pain and illness and will instantly have beautiful wings so that she can fly around the Rainbow Bridge and visit every corner, every wonderful pet that we have all lost.

    She will always be in your heart and is so grateful for the wonderful life she has had with you on earth. She will never be very far away from you.

    Dear friend, how I wish I could ease this time for you.
