    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My thoughts are with you.

    Thank-you Speckles, for being such a good kitty to our friend Vickie - you will be very missed. Go on your journey now - knowing you were loved.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    We will be with you and Speckles, in spirit, this afternoon, Slick. I know one gray/yellow Labrador that just arrived at the bridge almost two weeks ago, who found that she didn't mind cats too much in the last 3 1/2 years of her life, although she did give Mimi and Butter a run for their money when she first met them. Murphy will welcome Speckles with open arms and they can learn their way around, together.

    Love,
    Logan

    Slick, so sorry to hear this. At least she is going gently to the bridge, where she will know no more pain. You are in my prayers, my dear and sweet friend, I pray that you will be comforted from all the love and hugs coming from all your friends here at Pet Talk, because we all love and care for you so very much.

    Love and Hugs,
    Willie

    Thank You, kittycats_delight for my new siggy!!!
