Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

[Bengalz]

Debbie,

I've been dreading this day for you and Terry. Peanut is such a little sweetheart and knowing her time is to leave is heartbreaking.

Peanut has always been a favourite - she so reminds me of my dear little Roxy - also a maine coon.

She has had a wonderful life; she loves you and Terry dearly and will leave the most incredible imprint on your heart - just like her big brother Tubby

Those are the precious memories that keep them with us for all time. Even through the pain, remembering moments can make us smile.

Dear little Peanut - you are so special to so many. Rest sweetly baby girl and come visit you mommy and daddy from time to time - they're going to need it. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you.

Hugs and Prayers,

Betty

Debbie, I am so sorry to hear that Peanut has gotten so much worse.
Sending hugs your way and please give Peanut a gentle hug and kiss from me and Samantha sends some comforting purrs her way as well.

(Phred, your post gave me a bad case of LES)

Oh Gosh, not our little boxed kitty Peanut.

Debbie and Terry, my heart goes out to the both of you on making one of the hardest decision any pet lover has to make and dreads.

Phred, as usual, your prayers have brought on major LES.

Have a peaceful passing dear Peanut.

I'm so sorry to hear about Peanut. I know what you are going through, we recently when through the same with Reggie. It is such a hard thing to do when you love them so much. I know Peanut has had a wonderful life with you and she'll be waiting for you with Tubby at the bridge. {{hugs}}

I was just now able to view the video. How absolutely sweet she is. What a trusting face. I know how much you love her and she loves you the same way. That's easy to see. Who else would give her a palace of her own to live in? She deserves it, that's for sure. She's been loved and protected and cared for in a majestic way and that will continue in her new life that's on the other side of the veil.

Blessings to all,
Mary

Debbie,
I don't know what to say that hasn't been said already, I don't haved the way with words but thinking on the pain and sadness you must experiencing right know put a lump in my throat.
Even if we know the time is coming, we are never ready to let them go.Are we?

Peanut was a magnificent creature.

Godspeed Peanut you will be missed.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

It was a little after 2:00 pm Mountain Time when the Silver Kloud came for Peanut. She went peacefully with me holding her head. She was in my lap when the vet gave her the sedative, so I know the last thing she knew on this earth was my lap, pets and kisses.

She bit me HARD when the vet injected the sedative. She got me on the thumb nail so I thought I'd be ok, but it did end up bleeding. I think she broke the skin away from the nail or something. I soaked it in alcohol but it has gotten more and more sore as the day has gone on. I will watch it closely and if it looks like it's going to be bad, I will be on my way to the doctor, but I still think I'll be ok because she got the nail. I think it's sore just like it would be sore if I hit it with a hammer.

*Tissue warning*
After the vet left, Terry and I were on the patio having a quiet little "wake" for Peanut. Quietly talking about life with her, laughing and crying intermittently, when all of a sudden a butterfly "buzzed" me! I haven't seen ANY butterflies here at all, and all of a sudden one flew right up to my face, paused, then flew away! After I caught my breath, I said "That was Peanut!" ....and we both broke down again. Then later Terry was outside and the same butterfly came by and sat on the little cage we have set up for the kitties. "She" sat there for a moment - Terry within 2 feet - just warming "her" wings in the sun, then she flew away and we didn't see her again the rest of the day. My little sweetie girl saying good bye.

And one last thing, and just one more proof that PT prayers work. I had asked you all to pray that Peanut have a relatively pain free last few hours. The last few days she has been straining significantly when she pees. All this morning her straining was signficantly LESS than before! I just KNOW it was the PT prayers that made her last few hours easier on her. When I mentioned all this to Terry, he broke down - again. He is really having a tough time with this and is already missing her big time.

Thank you all again so very much for your love and support. It helps so very much.

......I'm sure Tubby has already licked her head and she has already swatted him and they've already gotten into it like they used to.....just like old times.

Goodbye Dear Peanut! Not a way I wanted to end my night (in tears) but I'm so happy she went peacefully! Debbie the butterfly story is just amazing. Please give Terry a hug for me, and have him give you one for me.

[Scooter's Mom]

The butterfly story is truly amazing. I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew Peanut, but as I sit here crying, I hope you can know how many prayers I have said for you all.

My heart goes out to you and Terry - major tears and great bear hugs to both

I love that Peanut did her little "fly by" in the form of a butterfly - how appropriate as she was herself such a beautiful little soul setting all our hearts a flutter She's a very special girl

The hurt is so extreme right now - please be gentle with each other and give CJ double hugs - I' m sure he too will be sad

Godspeed little Peanut - you are surely a magnifcent little angel scampering around with your brother. We all love you baby and will miss you always.

Hugs,
Betty

I'm so sorry to hear about Peanut. Your story about the butterfly is beautiful. It's nice to think that Peanut and Tubby are together, though.
