Lynne,
I am so sorry to hear about Boo Boo. I was trying to catch up on the posts
about him and was surprised to read that you lost him yesterday. I know you
must be heartbroken.
You said that you can't imagine ever being happy again, but most of us here
have lost a beloved furbaby, and I promise you that with time, it will get
better. The first two weeks after I lost Cricket, I was a walking skeleton.
The people here helped me cope with losing him and were frankly, just
wonderful. They walked me through all my second-guessing and guilty feelings.
Finally, I started to feel like me again and the pain dulled. I cried for two
weeks though and slept with his picture at night. One of the hardest times of
my life. However you and Bob feel now, you will feel joy again. Boo Boo would
want that for both of you. Allow yourself to grieve and be gentle with
yourself. And let the wonderful memories you have of Boo Boo comfort you.
:)
Wendy

Subject: BooBoo left us
We lost our precious baby tonight. He developed difficulty breathing and we
rushed him to the emergency clinic. He was dehydrated and had just had his
lungs aspirated Friday. The vet recently experienced the same situation with
his Himilayan, co-incidentally, though I sometimes think they make stuff up to
identify with your pain.
I held his little face in my hand and petted him as did Bob and he slipped away
almost immediately. I don't think I've cried this much in my life, Bob too.
At this moment I can't imagine ever being happy again. Sounds stupid but
BooBoo conveyed to me this evening it was time to go and he thanked us. He was
so very weak he could hardly walk but he was still purring as we pet him even
with the damn catheter in. We know this was best for him but the worst for us.
Thank you all for being so very supportive.
Lynne
