my michelle, not sure what to say but posting prayers and know I (and we all) are still, have been thinking of you! I can't believe in this september (next month) will be a year you've not been here! gee, come back soon!!

everyone, I also got email from her - she just lost her hubby, guido's baby, micia (cat) and she sounded sad last time I heard from her. please send thoughts/good vibes for their good luck - I know they would looove and appreeeciate them a lot! in despite for not being on pet talk for so long - and hopefully they'll get around pet talk very soon.

here's a bit more about their dear Micia ..

Let me tell you a little about Micia. She was only 9 years old but she was grossly overweight. She weighed about 25 lbs and had a fairly petite bone structure. She was not a happy cat. Due to her weight she was quite uncomfortable most of the time. Guido's dad was a big problem for Micia's weight as everytime she cried he feed her and that was a huge issue for her. When we came I took over care of Micia. And she started to become less moody. And would even play sometimes. Her favorite toy was a catnip mouse Gary (catmandu) had sent to Lilith and Vixen in Canada. Her favorite place was in my bedroom and she became quite trusting and would actually sleep belly up but only in my room. She got sick and I was giving her needles twice a day for 5 days. The last day was horrible. She was in horrible pain and she was so cold. She wanted me with her continually. I hardly slept that night. My hand had to be on her at all times. We took her to the vet and he was quite shocked she was still alive. He said she was dying but was fighting to stay alive. She had hardly any circulation of blood, her heart was hardly beating and she was laboring to breathe. We let her go but I held her the whole time. The vet did an autopsy and found a tumor on the bottom of her heart. It was a young tumor. Only 6 weeks at most but very aggressive. So basically there was nothing we could do. We have her a happier and more loving last few moths of her life so we have to feel a kitle comfort in that. I know since we have been her Micia's life was better and I have her that and more love than she had ever known. So I know when she went to the RB she knew she was loved. I couldn't do anymore unfortunately. By the way the name Micia means girl kitty.

so sad. rest, run peacefully & sleep softly sweet micia and will be thinking of you all.
