Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2005Sapphire is gone
Sapphire seemed to be doing well her first day in ICU with the oncologist but he called this afternoon to say she was having many problems. I rushed over to spend time with her before we had to release her from her little body that was failing her. Life can be very sad sometimes. I've looked through the photo albums where her pictures are found through-out as part of a family from the day I found her in 1990, a declawed, not full grown yet, stray. A week after I found her my husband told me that she was declawed which I thought was so awful that I went to the clubhouse where my son had hung her picture with our phone number and I took the picture down. That was how she became mine. Now the world seems to have lost some of its sparkle... -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. > Sapphire seemed to be doing well her first day in ICU with the oncologist > but he called this afternoon to say she was having many problems.

I was just so sad today missing Grant so much and it is just like you say, "the world has lost some of its sparkle". Yet it is amazing how much such a little creature can bring in, each in their own way. I know that we will both be glad one day that we had them at all, but right now it just doesn't seem fair. ((((hugs)))) Karen I'm so sorry to hear this... really hard to read after the "Sapphire's outlook brightens" message. 8-( My thoughts are with you... > Sapphire seemed to be doing well her first day in ICU with the oncologist > but he called this afternoon to say she was having many problems.

Brad LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING... " HOLY @#$%...

I was just going to bed & I wasn't expecting to read that Sapphire was gone. Well now I'm not only crying for my Toma - now I'm crying for your loss of Sapphire.

Sapphire has lots of our pets to greet and care for her at the Bridge/ Sincere condolences. MLB No, life isn't just sad sometimes, it sucks! I'm so sorry. I am also crying (wailing, actually) now ... for you, for me, for Elvis, for my husband, for Grant, for all of us who have to live in this shitty world. (sorry but that's how I feel).... I have seen the "rise up slowly angel, it's hard to let you go" way too many times in the last few weeks. I pray that they are at the Bridge waiting for us..... I grieve with you.

I am so sorry to hear that Sapphire is gone. It sounds like you did everything for her that a human could do. How good that you could be with her in the end. She sounded like a special little girl. Thanks for taking great care of her for so many years.

Candace ><<Now the world seems to have lost some of its sparkle...>> I am so sorry Sapphire has gone on. She is in a much better place. They sure leave a hole in our lives when they leave. Tom They sure do....crater is more like it. :( Carol >><<Now the world seems to have lost some of its sparkle...>> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Tom Dearest Barb, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Losing a furbaby is like losing a part of your soul. I lost my Sam 14 months ago and there's still an empty place in my heart. Take comfort in the fact that you gave her a wonderful life and that you did everything in your power to help her get well. She's moved on but her mark is left forever on the world. Purrs for Sapphire on her journey to the Bridge.

I rushed > over to spend time with her before we had to release her from her little > body that was failing her. I'm so sorry. Find comfort in knowing she had a peaceful end, and she knew that you loved her. hugs, -L. It's been comforting reading all of the posts about Sapphire. It's so fine to have a group like this where you know everyone understands about the loss of a pet. I am still a wreck. Just wish I could have her back, nice and healthy. Hope her spirit is around me. Maybe we really do all get back together again some day! Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. I too am really sorry to hear about Sapphire. Selfishly I've been wrapped up in my own woes and worries with my cat but I do know what you are going through and my heart goes out to you. Sapphire was a very lucky cat to have such a loving mum and she could not have asked for more. sarah >It's been comforting reading all of the posts about Sapphire.

Maybe we really do all get back together >again some day! About 9 years ago, my first sheltie died. She was 14, blind, half deaf, and she had arthritis. So, my last memories of her were as an elderly dog. I had a hard time remembering her as she had been younger. A couple years after she died, I had a wonderful dream. I was back in Iowa, walking down the driveway of the farm where I lived for 4 years (when we got Seusy). It seemed that in my dream, I had gone back in time. So, I was my adult self walking down the driveway and viewing my younger self and Seusy as a 2 year old. My younger self didn't recognize me, but agreed to let me stay and play with the dog for the afternoon. So, I was able to spend time with Seusy as a healthy dog, running, chasing balls, and being herself in her prime. I still cry when I think of that dream, but they are tears of joy, because I was so happy to remember her as a young dog on that farm. And when I visualize Rainbow Bridge, I see the farm in Iowa. They huge grassy lawn, the creek running through it, the woods and corn fields off to the side, and the big Walnut trees that Seusy would race around. That farm was her idea of heaven. I know it is hard right now, but those memories will come back to you. You may not be able to see her healthy in the physical sense, but you can see that way in your memories.

She was in the right place to be treated and you can be sure they did their best there. You did your best though in adopting SAPPHIRE and giving her a life. If she looked back at you as she left, I'm sure she would have thanked you for everything you did.
