Speckles Needs Prayers!

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.

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.

Oh honey (((HUGS)))) I've been out of town and I am so sad to hear how quickly she declined

Many hugs to you and prayers that she is as comfortable and peaceful as possible in the next few days. I don't know what to say to help your grief, but do knw we're all here for you.

Oh Slick, I'm with you in my thoughts...

Like others have said here before, it's your last act of love for her, and she will be painfree and whole after her passing.

Animal communicator Amelia Kinkade wrote in her book that animals do not fear death, and sometimes their little souls even decide to "come back" to a beloved human. I still find comfort in the thought that one of my future kitties may be my beloved Katz. We're never really parted from them, you know?

One last message before I sign off. When I adopted Specks 8 years ago I promised her biological Mom that I would always let her know about Specks and her health. Well we did keep in touch for a year or two, then Specks' Mom moved and I lost touch. Through this whole ordeal, that was the one thing that I felt really bad about. I wanted to give Patti an update on her girl but didn't know how to reach her.

Low and behold, she emailed my hotmail account 3 days ago. Did Speckles have a hand in this?? I expect so and I will be calling her today. After all, Patti loved her first.

**Nomilynn** · 12-20-2005, 11:49 AM

That post gave me goosebumps. I would take it as a sign that Speckles is ready and at peace, and wants you and Patti to be so also.

HUGS to you my dear friend.

**Cinder & Smoke** · 12-20-2005, 11:51 AM

If it be Thy Will ...

Please give Speckles a gentle ride up to the Raibow Bridge ~

And give Slick a big God'sHug.

Have a Safe Trip, Dear Speckles.

It sounds like sweet Speckles has given you the sign that you asked for. You asked her to let you know when she was ready to go. Patti getting touch with you out of the blue is definitely a sign. Speckles must want you two to have each other during this painful time. Sweet Speckles, you are such a good girl for thinking of your meowmies. What a wonderful, loving spirit you are.

I do believe that everything happens for a reason in life. This is a perfect example.

Speckles had a wonderful life in your care Slick. Do not dwell on the sorrow but on the larger happiness you both shared. Everyone must go down the same road of life but we choose what memories will remain with us forever.

Many hugs to you Slick. I'll send a prayer for a peaceful crossing.

I truly believe what Kirsten said. My heart cat Sunny died at 20 yrs old too many years ago and to this day I occasionally feel his presence. He was a shoulder cat and I swear that sometimes when I wake in the morning I feel his warm, soft furry weight on my shoulder. It brings such comfort. I'm so overwhelmed with feelings right now and just wish I could be there with and for you my dear, dear friend

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.
