    With tears in my eyes I say good bye Christofur. At the RB you will be as you SHOULD HAVE BEEN on earth, healthy and playing like a kitten is suppose to.

    {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} thank you for caring for him. he did NOT die alone, and that means a LOT.

    Christofur knew what it was really like to be loved, if even only for a short time. You did the best for him.

    RIP Christofur
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Thank you, everyone, for your love and caring.

    I wish I hadn't done it.

    I'm so very sorry, Pat! You know, it sounds like little Christofur was a very sick kitty. A brave fighter, yes, but sometimes the illness is stronger. You did everything possible to make his life comfortable, and I'm sure he knew how much he was loved. Sometimes these little fur angels just come to our world for a short time, maybe in order to teach us something, or to make us learn from them... When they finished their task, they're ready to leave. Maybe Christofur was one of these angels, you may find the answer to this in your heart...

    R.I.P. little Christofur, and enjoy your new healthy life at the Bridge!

    Oh, Pat...dear lady, I know you wish you hadn't done it. When you were with him for that half hour, you said he was barely conscious, and even had slight seizures during that time.

    Better that he was sent to the Bridge with love rather than passing during another massive seizure. That would have been horrible for him and for you, especially if you had found him afterwards at home.

    I am sorry for those words...but you did the right and only thing for Christofur.

    I am so sorry to read about Christofur. I know it was a difficult decision for you, but now he is happy and healthy running around the RB. He will continue to watch over you until the time you meet again...

    I suppose she'll respond with another tirade, but at least I feel a little better now
    I saw this yesterday and was crying to hard to respond. I was heartbroken. I came back last night and read about Christine and got to mad to respond.

    If she responds with another tirade, I would send one right back to her reminding her I had asked her not once, but several times and it was HER choice not to give you the information you NEEDED, VERY IMPORTANT information so that you could properly help him and make the wisest decisions about his care and treatment. Instead she left you to think these seizures were sudden and new, you and the vet had tried everything and BASED on the the INFORMATION you and the vet HAD, you had to make a choice. Without his medication, what did she think was going to happen? He was doomed the day she sent him away and I sure would tell her that!

    I also want to know WHY she only divulged that IMPORTANT information (that you had asked for before) AFTER it no longer could do him any good, only admitted he had seizures with her and the medication he was on and how much when it was to late. That sends me a clear message. YOU were her scape goat, you were conned and you were USED!


    There should have been a full and complete medical history sent along with him and the fact that it seems like she was trying to hide it, I have to ask WHY?! She was not honest with you about his full condition when his LIFE depended on you having that information!

    It sounds to me like she knew this was coming and she didn't want to be the one to have to do it so she dumped that job on who ever would take him. This whole thing smells fishy to me, extremely fishy!

    I would dump every bit of that guilt she is trying to lay on you, right back in HER lap in the hottest email she ever saw. Quit letting her make you feel bad for doing the only thing you could because she choose to keep very important information from you. I would tell her that is the last email she will get from you and anymore she sends you will be deleted without being read that she is not worthy of your time and trouble after how she scammed you!

    I would be SO DARN MAD at her!!! I say let this be a lesson to everybody to make sure they get all the records from the vets before accepting another baby into their life that you know nothing about.
