Title: Metoo - Goodbye Fella
Post by: Jasmine on April 20, 2009, 18:47:25 PM
My darling fella is now in the end stage of kidney failure - he barely ate last week and was admitted to the vets Saturday morning and has been on a drip ever since.

The vets have just rung with his blood test results - creatinine 869 & urea 56.

He is still eating a little and hasn't been sick, so he'll remain on fluids overnight and we are going to collect him tomorrow morning and take things on a hour by hour basis.
 
We only lost Martha a month yesterday and this has hit us both really hard.

Just needed to share really...

Here's the web pic of him in the rescue that we saw and couldn't resist:

I am really sorry you having such a hard time.  :(
You and Metoo are in my thoughts. :hug: :hug:

I remember MeToo as well. He's such a lovely looking old lad. I know it must be heartbreaking for you, but for all you've given him I honestly believe that will have made so much difference to MeToos quality of life. :hug: :hug:

Please give him a gentle fuss for me.

Post by: Jasmine on April 22, 2009, 15:29:30 PM
Hi everyone... quite overwhelmed with all the messages, thank you.
:grouphug:

We collected Metoo yesterday, and after a couple of hours he perked up and seemed very happy to be home, visiting all his old spots and managing to eat a little.  One of us sat & cuddled him from noon to bedtime.

Today, he is still eating a little and responsive - he has just been resting his chin on the keyboard!

However, we are thinking of calling the vet out tomorrow, before he starts to feel too poorly....
It's tough because he is such a strong character, but his body is letting him down. :(

Thanks again.

Title: Re: Metoo - almost time to say goodbye
Post by: Maddiesmum on April 22, 2009, 15:31:15 PM
Glad he is feelilng a little better.  We are all thinking of you at this sad time.   :hug:
Title: Re: Metoo - almost time to say goodbye
Post by: Kay and Penny on April 22, 2009, 15:49:01 PM

managing our cat's end is our last act of love towards them, and I hope Metoo spends his last hours with you in love and tranquillity

Well, Metoo is still with us.

He has been really bright this morning, had a good breakfast and has been sunbathing all morning looking really content... so we haven't had the heart to make that phonecall just yet...

Post by: moira on April 23, 2009, 14:16:46 PM
I have my fingers crozzed for Metoo. Sometimes they can surprise you. As long as he can still get some pleasure out of life and is not suffering I, personally, wouldn't make that phone call. It's hard, though, anticipating how he might be tomorrow.

Bless you for all the continuing messages of support... but sadly, Metoo's improvement was short-lived... and he went to the Bridge soon after Midday on Friday... just couldn't bring myself to update this thread earlier. :'(

God Bless fella... our No 1 Cuddlechops :Luv: ... and Old 'B':naughty: (expect he's arm-wrestling with the Angels now!)

So many empty spaces without you... 

Love you forever

RIP Metoo, safe and sound at the Bridge until your Mum and Dad are ready to collect you xx

The Greatest Gift

I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....
