The vet is going to come to the house and help Peewee cross over.
He's weak, skin and bones, and suffering - it's time.  He still has
some quality of life, will purr when I hold him or scratch his head,
and still likes to go out with the dog, but isn't eating much and is
weak.  I can't let him starve to death - it's the humane thing to do,
but dammit, it's killing me. :*(  I will report back when I can.
Thanks to everyone who sent support over the last few weeks - it means
a lot.  Pee was my baby before I had a baby - heck, before I was even
married.  It's like losing a kid.

Peewee is very fortunate that you love him enough to let him go.  I'm so
sorry you have to go through this.

It's clearly the right thing to do. I hate this, but it's the price we
pay for the time that we get to host the furballs. It's nice that your
vet will come to the house, I'd love to spare my fbs that final trip.
Purrs.

I'm so, so sorry. Having been through this with Molly last October (she was
also my baby before I had a baby), this is just too fresh in my mind and
very painful. Peewee has been very lucky to have someone who has loved him
as much as you have.
Purrs to you and Peewee. I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Best regards,

I'm very sorry. This is the hardest thing we have to do for our furry
family members. Peewee is lucky to have you.

Oh, Lyn, I hate that you have to go through this. It's so hard, but the
right thing to do for Peewee, it is clearly time to help him through.
When I had to let my 20-year-old girl go, it was so terrible. Just
like with you, she was there before I got married, there when both
my parents were still alive--she was the creature I held in my arms
and cried to when my parents died. I'm so sorry.

I am devastated for you....

Peewee is so lucky to have a mummy who loves him enough to make the
ultimate sacrifice on his behalf.
I know it is killing you. Cuddle him, cry & scream if you need to, &
live in the knowledge that you loved him enough to let him cross
over...

Soothing Purrs & healing thoughts for you too

I'm so sorry that you're going through this right now.  But, PeeWee is very
fortunate to have someone love him enough to let him go.  I went through
this with my Grady in January, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done
in my life.  He was my baby too (after my baby grew up and moved away from
home *S*).  

Hugs to you.

yuo are doing the right thing even thoug it hurts like hell and you
probably wish there was some way to avoid it and some magic pill to
make peewee into a young healthy cat again. I wish we had helped tegan
cross over earlier instead of waiting until she made the choice
herself and fell asleep one last time, we might have saved her some
suffering towards the end.

he will be grateful you are helping him and releasing him from his
pain, he will be there in heaven waiting for you i am sure.

feel free to spend the rest of the week crying your eyes out though,
we have all done it at some point, it is only natural when you lose a
lifetime friend like this, but remember you are doing the right thing
hugs and purrs, bookie

Me and you have had our bouts before in the past and don't see eye to eye
but this is the hardest thing any slave has to go thru.  I and the pack are
sending purrs and prayers for a safe and easy journey across the bridge. And
for peace to ease your mind during the crossing.  You are doing the right
thing.  It is always hard when we lose a child.  We are here for you.

I am going to go and hug all my furballs right now.  I have tears in my eyes

{{{{{{{{{{Lyn}}}}}}}}}}  Purrs for your breaking heart and I will light a
candle on Friday to help light Peewee's way to the bridge.

Having just lost our darling Amaretto less than a week ago, we
understand your pain.  You and Peewee will be very much in our
thoughts tomorrow.

Best,

It sounds like Peewee had a good long life.  Even then, we never have them
long enough.  Hang on to all the good memories, let yourself grieve, and
most important, let yourself heal in your own time.

Condolences and hugs,
Annie

Knowing that Friday is looming must be just terrible.  Please remember that
you are doing right by Peewee, and he is very lucky to have someone who
loves him enough to make that tough decision.  I'm sure you will cherish
every moment you have left, as well as all the moments you have had over
his lifetime.

I hope you find peace.  I know Peewee will.

It sure is, Lyn. PUrrs for your broken heart and we're with you in
spirit tomorrow. You're doing the right thing no matter how hard it
is. Be happy you got to know Pooh. Pooh the big black baby in a cat
suit. Cherish his memory, and then honor him by keeping it alive.

I'll be thinking of you and Peewee today.  It's never easy to let go.  Safe
passages, Peewee.

I'm so sorry, Lyn. It's very fortunate that you're able to have a vet
come
over. I always wished I had been able to do that. Still doesn't
detract
from the fact that this is one of the toughest things you'll ever have
to do, and my heart just goes out to you.
