Belinda,
Can
you add my daughter's kitty "Gutt" to the Candlelight Services?
My
daughter's name is Julie. Gutt was 8-9 yrs old. He was an awesome Maine
Coon mix I adored him ever since he was a baby.
I
had noticed that he was acting strange and losing weight. He was losing
control of his hind legs. Also, loose bowels and the fact that his zest
for life was gone he was crying. I had also noticed this for the last
few days was hoping he had just a bad tummy. This was so sudden.
My
gut feeling was he had a mass growing and thought it was a tumor.
He
lost 3 pounds in the since last month. (She weighed him every month)
I
told her he needed to go to the Vet A.S.A.P. so she called was able to
get in to see one of my favorite Vets this evening.
Sadly
to say he had a huge mass the size of a baseball growing in stomach. My
daughter decided to let him go to the "Rainbow
Bridge" because she didn't have the money to pay for added expenses due
to her divorce and being a single parent.
She
told me that she wanted him to go peacefully and his quality of life is
what mattered not quantity. She wasn't thinking about herself only
about him she didn't want him to suffer.
She
didn't want him to endure all the medical treatments with his chances
being slim of survival. I'm proud of her for making that decision even
though it was hard on her.
My
husband and I would have helped her in this matter.
She
didn't want him to suffer.
Julie loved
him with all her heart.
So
she brought him home and we buried him next to "Sam" that I lost back
in March. My husband dugged the hole for him. This man had recent
shoulder surgery but it didn't matter. He loved Gutt as well.
We
read the Rainbow Bridge and a prayer to him. Laid him to rest.
We
all hugged and cried in each other arms.
This
was about an hour and a half ago.
My
husband also said that he was going to build a special fence around the
area we have for all the future furangels that pass on to the Rainbow
Bridge.
Yes,
we have a Pet Cemetery on our new property.
Which
is under a beautiful maple tree.
Thanks
for hearing me out....... :(
