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

[koxka]

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 am so sorry..... (((Hugs to you and your family))). Its hard but she knew you cared for her deeply. Have a safe trip to the bridge sweet Little peanut you will be totally missed....

[Vermontcat]

I'm so sorry to hear that sweet little Peanut girl is now at the Rainbow Bridge.
I'm sure Tubby was the first one to greet her with a great big lick on the top of her pretty little head.
I know this must be so hard for you and Terry right now.
Sending many hugs your way for you and Terry and CJ too.
Samantha says she misses her sweet senior sister kitty Peanut.(she sends purrs your way)

Butterflies are free.....

[kimlovescats]

Oh Debbie, my heart is breaking for you and my eyes are blurred with tears. How wonderful that Peanut sent you a special Butterfly kiss before she went on her way!

Hugs,
Kim
