Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I am so sorry for your loss. I understand completely how you feel. I lost my ducky over the summer and I still miss her and think about her every day. My fiance and I had her since she was a baby and she was imprinted on us. Her and I such a close bond and it hurt so much when she died. I am still very sad that she's not here with me. As time goes on, your pain will fade. Sometimes the people who are closest to us are not even people at all. My sincerest condolences.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I am so sorry, its very sad when an old friend passes on. My oldest cat is on her last legs, mostly blind,hypertensive, eats/sleeps/does her business in my bedroom, never leaves it. But she purrs like an engine when we go to bed. My last fury friend , I left her shell at the vets after she was euthanised as she was suffering badly from feline lukemia. I said goodbye and she went to sleep. What was left wasnt her.Its a tough decision to know what to do with their remains....... Once again my condolencies............

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Sorry to bring this one up again. I'm sure Fraggle still misses his friend, hope things are getting easier. I just remembered a story from a few years ago about some ladies cat. This local woman called me up one day and asked if I would perform Reiki (a type of energy work) on her dying cat Bubba. Seems Bubba was very sick and near the end and just didn't want to let go. The woman hoped that the Reiki could ease her companion into a peaceful death. I found Bubba in the woman's basement stretched out on some newspapers. I gave him a blanket to lay on and when I lifted him up he was rather stiff and unresponsive. His breathing was very very slow and short, and having witnessed several human deaths before I knew that these were signs that it would happen soon. I was prepared to stay all night, but felt that it would only take a few hours. I gently put my hands on the cat, he was still stiff and cold. I preformed the energy work how I had been taught and Bubba quickly warmed up. It was the fastest response I have ever had. He got warm, and his body looked more relaxed. Then I noticed that his breathing was slower and more regular and his tail was swaying back and forth. In a matter of minutes Bubba was loudly purring and looking up at me. He sat up and faced me for a moment. I remember a strange look in his eyes, like he was on drugs or something. Bubba seemed to nod at me and blinked. He looked so regal and strong, it was very weird. I started crying and he bounded up the basement steps. The cat's owner had left me and Bubba in the basement alone. When He went upstairs to find her, I could hear her screaming. Just screaming at the top of her lungs. " What are you doing? Oh my god! are you ok??? " I went upstairs and she was holding her cat, tears streaming down her face. She saw me and said " you saved my cat! " News quickly spread about how I was a " cat healer " . (I live in a very small town and my mom is the local hairdresser). I tried my best to explain that it wasn't me and that I wouldn't be able to do it again. After a while I realized that it would be best to just hide for a few days. I got calls from a dozen folks who had sick pets. Even somebody from Hospice wanted me to come over! So I laid low until I got a call from Bubba's owner. Bubba had died. She found him in her closet. Seems that when I " healed " him all i had done was help him out of a seizure. That made sense. The woman was very grateful though, that she got to spend a few more good days with her friend. She said that those were the best days of her life, because she fully appreciated him. She almost lost him, and now he was back, and she spent every second spoiling her cat. Folks still bring it up to me. And I have since helped my neighbor's son get through a few seizures. I work as a doula, helping woman in labor deliver their babies. I think someday I would like to work for Hospice and help people die with peace and dignity. Birth and death are the most important parts of our lives. I like that I can help make them less traumatic and more beautiful. Ok, I'm rambling now. Hope you're starting to feel better Fraggle!
