How thoughtful of the folks who sent the flowers and card. From all you said, BooBoo touched the heart of everyone who came into contact with him--I recall you even saying one vet kissed him on the head as he said goodbye. I've never seen that happen in the 10 years I've had cats (and some of them were mighty sick). BooBoo was truly a remarkable little soul. And you and Bob were remarkable in your devotion to him. You gave him what he never had until he met you----a ton of love---and he certainly knew it. hugs, Kerry ________________________________

It's been difficult. I thought we'd start feeling a little better by now but that isn't happening. We got a lovely floral arrangement from the Animal Hospital on Tuesday and a touching card today from the Vet and all the staff with such kind messages on it and of course I started to cry. I miss him so much. I look beside me when I go to bed and he's not there and it just breaks my heart all over again. Last night I was almost alseep and this picture of him laying on the table lifeless came to mind and I swear I had an anxiety attack. We both know we did what was best for him. He is no longer suffering but boy we sure are. We don't even have any happy memories because he was never really well. All we wanted to do was give him some joy.

You and Bob must be devastated. I hope that knowing your little sweethheart couldn't have wished for a better and more caring mom and dad than you and Bob, and that he enjoyed your unstinting love and devotion every minute of every day he spent with you will eventually bring you comfort. You did the most loving and kindest thing for him on Sunday when he let you know his time had come. But it's so painful, I know. Thinking of you, much love and big hugs Kerry ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lynne Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 9:04 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: BooBoo left us We lost our precious baby tonight. He developed difficulty breathing and we rushed him to the emergency clinic. He was dehydrated and had just had his lungs aspirated Friday. The vet recently experienced the same situation with his Himilayan, co-incidentally, though I sometimes think they make stuff up to identify with your pain. I held his little face in my hand and petted him as did Bob and he slipped away almost immediately. I don't think I've cried this much in my life, Bob too. At this moment I can't imagine ever being happy again. Sounds stupid but BooBoo conveyed to me this evening it was time to go and he thanked us. He was so very weak he could hardly walk but he was still purring as we pet him even with the damn catheter in. We know this was best for him but the worst for us. Thank you all for being so very supportive. Lynne ________________________________________________________________________ _____ IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
