Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

......one last time.

First of all I must apologize again for not being around much. I can see there are some important threads I need to respond to, but for now....

The mobile vet is scheduled to come out tomorrow. :-(

Peanut is straining more and more as she pees, and nothing is making it better anymore. She is also straining significantly to poop and I know it hurts her. Along with that, we know her one remaining functioning kidney is getting worse because even with the fluids she is becoming more and more lethargic. And finally the topper, she has gone blind. I could tell her eyes were getting worse, but just two days ago I noticed it was really bad and yesterday she started bumping into walls and walking around in circles like she was lost. We're afraid she's going to fall and hurt herself since she is so frail to begin with. I haven't weighed her lately, but she has to be down to about 4 1/2 lbs. She is a frail tiny little old lady.

Now that she can't see at all, she either sits in a lump on the rug on the floor, or wants to be on one of our laps. Even a week ago she was perky, happy and interested in what's going on around her - i.e. sitting and sniffing when the front door was open, etc. Now all she does is sit in a lump on the little rug on the floor. It's as if when she's there she knows where she's at and she doesn't want to move. The only thing she perks up for is food - silly little girl - which makes us question our decision, but we know in our hearts it's time to let her go.

So, please send prayers and good thoughts for her that her last hours are relatively pain free and she makes a peaceful crossing to the RB.

Oh no, I hate to hear this. Many prayers for Peanut and her meowmie. I'm sure Tubby is there with her, helping her through the fear she must be experiencing.

Sleep sweetly little girl.

Oh Debbie I hate to read this. You all will be in my thoughts and I pray for a painless journey for our little Peanut. Please give her a kiss and hug for me and tell we all love her!

Oh Debbie, I am so very sorry to read this. All of us have loved Peanut right along with you - so it will be a loss for us all.

My heart goes out to you both.

oh I wish that dear little one could plug along some more - she has been such a trooper!

I am so sad about this...nothing compared to what you are feeling, I know.

PEACE little Peanut...you are so so loved......

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

she has been such a trooper!

This is part of what makes it so hard! She has never once complained about anything. Sure, she didn't like the fluids and the pills, but she took them and looked for treats afterwards, never putting up a fuss.

Thank you all SO much. She is resting comfortably on her beloved Daddy's lap right now. I just wanted to post a video I took of her last Wednesday. She was then, and still is such a chow hound! Which is really making us doubt our decision. But even towards the end of this video - a week ago - you can see that she had to search by nose to find the chicken we were giving her. and it has only gotten worse. And a picture for those who can't see the video.

Thanks again everyone, and Phred, as usual you made the dam break (LES dam that is), thank you so much.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to read this news, but am glad you can help her along to the RB in her own comfortable home. Prayers and good thoughts for dear Peanut and for you! I'm sure Tubby will be there to help Peanut across the bridge when the time comes.

Poor Peanut It is so sad to hear about how much she has gone downhill. almost like she is a shell of her former self. I'm so glad that
you both are around her to help Peanut feel safe.Rest easy little one.

I'm so sorry Debbie. My heart sank as I read this.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

[Prairie Purrs]

I'm so sorry. Sweet little Peanut! She's had a life full of love, and she'll live on curled up right next to Tubby in your heart.

[Kirsten]

Oh no, Debbie, it breaks my heart to read these news on beautiful little Peanut!!

I know she had a very long and happy life, and from what you describe, it really sounds she is ready to go, but it's so sad!

I will keep you and her in my thoughts. I know it's the best you can do for her at this point, but it makes me so sad!

(((HUGS)))
