Re: [Felvtalk] Buddy left for the Rainbow Bridge today.

He knew you were there.  I have absolutely no doubt of that.  The ones  
you work for are the best of the best.  I've had the privilege of  
sharing the lives of several who came in and chose to stay with me.   
He made that choice.


Buddy is not alone.  He is surrounded by angels who are watching over  
him.  Blessings to you for caring about him.

and would be around for a couple more years. He went completely limp  
after
the seizure and at first I actually thought he was dead. But a  
little breath
showed on the mirror in front of his nose, and then I hoped he would  
come

round in at least some fashionbut it didn't happen, he was barely
breathing, I couldn't tell if he was conscious or not the whole time  
- and
then just as we got to the vets, he stopped. There was nothing they  
could
do. I am really grateful I was home (my worst fear was he would be  
alone)
and able to be with him when he passed and I really hope he was  
aware he was

not alone, and I was trying to help him.

He was absolutely an awesome friend, such a patient cat,  
surprisingly sweet
and playful for an old, very tough ex-TomCat. He was finally getting  
plump
and really loving scratchies and pets. A total joy for me to see  
inside,
safe and happy. I knew him the last three years - after feeding him  
for two,
last winter is the year I caught him and insisted he stay inside.   
We worked
really hard to get to a very good place and it was worth it.  He  
worked the

hardest; he still was willing to trust me.

I am really sad. I miss my friend in my house. His room feels  
incredibly
empty and even though he wasn't allowed out of his room, I feel the  
absence
of his physical and spiritual presence everywhere. I am getting him  
cremated
(in his cozy soft bed he loved, if they will allow it) so he will be  
back,
sort of, but this is the first time I have had one of my cats in  
someone
else's care when out of my house. I never leave them alone in a  
strange
place. I know it's weird but it's creeping me out thinking of him  
alone,
even if he is curled in his beloved bed, at the doctors office. I  
didn't

like leaving him there. :(

All, if you can, give your kitties a kiss, a hug and a treat today  
to thank

them for still being around. I know I am!

  So sorry to hear about your Miss Clara. I had to do the same to my boy just 2 
  days before her.
  We tried Interferon, or what they described to me as a new version of it, but 
it 
  didn't help really... I think he already had the tumor when he walked into my 
  house last July so I really feel close to your experience, though I feel I 
had 
  my Scrappy for less time than you had your Miss Clara.

  I hope you can get relief from losing her soon, she is not suffering anymore 
and 
  am sure grateful for all the love you gave her while she was with you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Sanctuaries (Marnie) (Lorrie)

2011-03-03 Thread MARNIE MISZEWSKI

Thanks Lorrie! 


It's nice to have validation from someone else who is doing this. I'm sure you 
understand when I say how frustrating it is for me every time I hear about a 
sanctuary that doesn't have the animals best interest at heart. Not only is it 
horrible for the animals in their care, but it ruins the credibility of people 
like us who are truly doing the right thing for the right reasons. 


Please email/contact me anytime you need anything. I don't know if it's the 
same where you are at, but the shelters in my area are a bit competitive and 
don't always work together. When I started this I naively thought we were in 
this together and would work together on the animals behalf. Instead I have 
found I'm on my own doing what I can for these guys. That said, I will take my 
support system where I can get it and am extending "my paw" in case there is 
anything I can do for you. :0)
