I'm so sorry to hear this.

Now he's pain free and playing up at the Bridge. RIP sweet Hamish.

Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Hi everyone-
I know we did the right thing but silly me was hoping for a miracle.

He had a tough time at home after coming back from the emergency vet. He got stressed when I gave him his pills. Half the time he'd spit them back up or throw them up an hour or two later. We couldn't keep him in 24/7 care. I took him to the nice vet up the road and he said he could tell Hamish was declining just from the time he saw him the first time. He'd lost more weight-all the bad signs were there.

Hamish did have good day before this happened. He spent the day laying on his towel in the sun on my computer desk and laying in my lap at lunch.

Haggis knows something is up. We are giving him extra pats and having conversations. (Thank you for the Transfer Factor suspensions- Haggis hasn't had trouble taking it as is. So, we are okay there. I appreciate the offer.)

Breathe.

I will post happier pix of Hamish once I can look at them without crying.

I am crying at this news. Your two boys have always had a special place in my heart!

RIP Sweet Hamish and give Haggis a giant hug and kiss from me.

Hi everyone-
It's been a week since Hamish passed away. Every day I miss him. I can talk to people about what happened but if asked for detail I start to blubber. Haggis is adapting but it's obvious he misses his buddy. He meows when it's time to eat and leaves the kitchen looking for his friend to share a meal with. He sticks close by and talks a lot. We talk with him a lot too. Haggis, who usually slept upstairs and would come in the early morning now goes to bed when we do.

There are many things I miss about Hamish. He was always within an arm's reach away on my computer desk.
* Hamish always helped me make the bed.
* slept in my lap every evening while watching TV.
* a warm little sandbag that form fitted himself to the back of my legs at night.
* His appreciation of baked goods. You couldn't leave a grocery bag out containing a loaf of bread, hot dog buns or pastry- he would find it and chew a hole in the middle and eat his way to the edges. His favorite: maple bars.
*And, his heavy happy sigh, criss cross paws when he took a nap.

He was a great kitty.

The only thing I can reply is that sometimes, Life just sucks! Know that Hamish is in a good place and still loves you. Give extra hugs to Haggis, he will always be special to me. Tell him that all of us here on PT love him and miss Hamish, also.

Today was two weeks since I lost Morgan. I still haven't had a day without tears yet, but it does get easier each day. I'm still looking for him and missing him tons. Give Haggis extra hugs.

As Moesha said, it does get easier w/each passing day but it's still pretty fresh for you yet. My heart kitty Puddy went to the Bridge a year ago and I still tear up sometimes when I think about her but mostly I have happy thoughts now and soon you will, too.
