Angel Poppy - was My Poppy has cancer

[phesina]

Poppy didn't eat anything yesterday. She stayed hidden a lot of the day. Came out in the evening. I gave her her steroid squirt in case it might make her more comfortable. Shortly afterwards she threw up some orangey liquid. I thought she was spitting up the med, but it was not the same color. This morning I found she'd spit up some more of that liquid.

We are going to the vet's pretty soon. I think it's time.

I love you, Poppy. Thank you so much for being with me, sharing your beautiful self with me.

I'm so very sorry Pat. I know you are doing everything you can to keep her comfortable.

As hard as it is, perhaps it's time to say goodbye and not let her suffer - I think she will let you know.

You and Poppy are in my thoughts - I send love, comfort and big ((((hugs))))

I am so sorry, Pat! You will know when the time is right, and so will Poppy!
Love and comforting thoughts to both of you
Heidi and the kitties.

Thank you, Randi and Heidi. Poppy is an Angel now.

The vet said she was badly dehydrated and had been spitting up blood. She was swollen up from that liquid in her abdomen, and her breathing was getting a bit off.

I feel so guilty, I should have brought her home for another day? But I couldn't see her going through another day of probably spitting up more blood and not eating.

I love you so much, Poppy.

Pat, please don't feel quilty that you let her go. I think she hung on only for your sake. She is now at peace and you were there for her until the end. I know how badly you will miss her, but this was best for Poppy. You are the best mom she could have wished for!

Dear sweet Poppy, have a good rest at the Rainbow Bridge, and then go find your new friends... cats and humans. You are a precious angel now, but your mom will keep you in her heart forever.

You're in my thoughts, dear Pat... sending lots of love and (((hugs)))

Thank you, Randi. I held her as we said goodbye to each other.
