I can't thank everyone enough for all the kindness, compassion, and understanding in the thread Sirrabed started for me. I wanted to start a new thread so no one would miss my HUGE
THANK YOU
I don't feel as if I deserve it at all. I have been off line for so long and I don't even know what is going on in everyone else's life and here I finally pop back up with sadness and asking for prayers.
Hubby and I are somewhat computer illiterate and couldn't get the thing working. Debbie and Dennis (very dear friends gained through PT) drove almost three hours to our house this weekend to work on the computer. Dennis stayed on the computer until 5am determined to get things going. They left dissappointed because we weren't back on line but thanks to them getting the computer up and running we only had to contact our internet service and they got us back online in seconds! I can not possibly thank them enough!!!
I also can't thank all of you enough for your good thoughts, prayers and words of comfort and kindness. They mean more than you can ever know. The loss of Pete and Scooter has really cut me to the core and I am pretty sure Lucky will probably have to be euthanized tomorrow. That will be three of my furbabies in less than a month.
In less than a two month period I have held twelve shelter babies as they crossed over the Bridge and two of my own. It has been an emotional nightmare and I can't seem to wake up. There is a part of me that wants to quit my shelter work and not have to deal with all this heartache but a stubborn part of me can't leave them. I want to be with those that must leave this world. They know me and trust me and I feel like I have to be the one to hold and comfort them as they go. I always knew that this was a possibility in the shelter but I sure wasn't expecting it to happen to mine. At least not this many at one time.
Lucky is still going down hill and showing no improvement with antibiotics. We kept hoping it was just a bad ear infection that had him so down. He is virtually starving to death. He has not eaten in 10 days. The only nourishment he gets is what I force him to eat through a syringe. His only fluid intake is Sub Q. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow to have his belly tapped for FIP fluid. If any is detected we will have him PTS tomorrow afternoon. I keep praying that we won't have to dig another grave but I'm not real hopeful.
I really don't feel as if I deserve to ask for your prayers but I sure could use them. I thank you all for bringing me back into the fold with such kindness. I really do miss you all so much. I have had so many wonderful and many sad experiences through the shelter that I really wanted to share with you all. Maybe someday I can get caught up with all of you. Please forgive me until then.
Thanks again and {{{HUGS}}} to all of my friends. I really miss you!
