Bartie and Elan issues...

I am so sorry to read this; my heart goes out to you. I live in fear of the day when my crew gets old, knowing all that can go wrong. You are a good person, and your love and compassion WILL be rewarded.

I know how much you miss Bartie

but you really did do the right thing even though it's such a difficult decision to make.

I'm glad to hear that Elan is doing well and hopefully the new lower litter box will do the trick.

Good luck.

Oh Donna, big hugs to you as you second-guess your decision about Bartie.. You did the right thing, and it is always hard, isn't it. He is at the Rainbow Bridge, whole and healthy again, sending down his love to you.

And isn't Elan a delight! The new low litterbox sounds like just the ticket. Meanwhile, how nice to think of him curled up on the heated throw with all his buddies.

Donna, it doesn't get easier, does it? Bartie was not happy that way, you did the right thing.

Now Elan, explain WHY he can get in and out of the bathtub / shower but NOT the other bins?

Glad the new one is working!

I am sorry you are missing Bartie so much
Think of all the good thing you did for him in the time you were together.
Dont second guess yourself. you did right by your baby.

As far as the litter box issues.
I use one of those under the bed plastic containers ( without the wheels )
i got it at Walmart for about $10 It is ver y long.
I line the bottom with a 45g or 50g plastic bag
Dimensions: 44'' L. x 19 3/4'' W. x 6 3/8'' H. Sterilite
If its still to high maybe you can put a phone book or something similar to
help him gradually step up into the litterbox.
