Hello there kuhio98,

Thank you for your condolences regarding the passing of my sweet baby boy Snuggles. I'm "trying" to be gentle and kind to myself as you suggested in your response, but having a bit of difficulity with that. The guilt I feel over his death is enormous. I cant stop replaying the events of that day over and over in my mind. When the vet suggested the teeth cleaning I was very resistant and against it, fearing something could go wrong...unfortunately I did'nt listen to my inner fears, worries and concerns and elected to take him in for the cleaning anyway. It cost my sweet baby his life.



In your response you mentioned the website PetLoss.com. I found that site today and spent hours talking in the chat room with grief councilors about my loss. I read all the poems submitted from others who've lost their precious animals also, and found the site to be very well organized, helpful, and insightful.

I'm sorry to hear about Kuhio after 17 wonderful years. Sounds like your kitty lived a very long life. I imagine you miss him dearly too, just like I'm missing my baby.

Thanks again for responding to my posting about Snuggles. You are all such a warm and caring bunch of people, and I'm so glad I found you....or you found me.

Talk soon friend,
