I'm sad again.... :( Belinda can you add Jake to CLS
Hi all, I had to put my 17 1/2 yr old Siamese to sleep today. My daughter called me and said that she thought Jake may have to go to the Vet. He wasn't acting right. He kept falling down and throwing up. I called them and got him right in. He was going into cardiac arrest and liver failure. He was crying which he never does. I took him to my regular Vets I knew he would suffer if I hung on to him. They said he live a good life with me. That at this point there wasn't anything they could do for him. He started having problems back in August with his health. He was lying on his side and breathing hard when I came home today. He smelled foul. Then he starting throwing up and his bowels were releasing. He was quite the gentle man. I let him go with dignity. Bless his soul he will be met by Dukee at the bridge Belinda can you add Jake to the CLS...thanks! Boy, this is getting tough on me. I'm trying real hard. My husband doesn't know yet. 3 cats in less than a month.

Dukee's Vet Records...Got them!
Hi all, Funny how fast they responded when I had the letter of request delivered to them. Told them I had direct contact with the Veterinary Board of WA. (with Belinda's help of course) Amazing! I can assure you I will drive the extra miles to see my regular Vets from now on. I got a call around noon time to tell me they have the copies ready for me. It was the same person that refused me the first time when I requested them prior. I told her my business will not be back. Told her she was rude that don't talk down to people that she doesn't know anything about. Anyway, the records of what I'm reading shows that he had Liver failure on top of having Hyperthyroid from all the blood work they did. So I put the blame on the other Vet for not running the full panel blood-work. Apparently he died during the night since we have no way of knowing. The attending Vet called me shortly after they had opened that morning.

Vet Records
Hi all, I ask for the records on Dukee they won't release them to me. They said the only way they would release them if another Vet requested them. Then it would be by fax only.

Update Re: Vet Records
Wow, I lived in TX back in the early 80s up until 91 never had a problem with getting my Pet Vet records either. Especially since I was moving back to WA. state. Just to let you know I have spoke with a person of Veterinary Board. She told me to write a letter of request and that they have 15 days to get to me since the services were rendered and paid in full. She gave me the Washington rules and laws along with what Belinda sent me. If they don't comply or if the records appeared tampered with to file a complaint with them. Something doesn't feel right about this. I think they aren't being honest with me on what happened to Dukee. Then charge the amount they did. God, I will be so upset if this is the case and will file a lawsuit against them. In a message dated 10/31/2006 12:14:08 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi there, I am in Texas.

Re: Vet Records/Morbid question
My husband thinks Dukee died the same day he had the surgery and they wanted to make the bucks for having him over the weekend. He is using some curse words right now. Not a happy camper. I just told him about my experience with the Vet trying to get copies. Normally, don't tell him everything unless there is a need. Didn't want to start anything. I have a question and probably morbid: Is there anyway they can find out how longpet has been dead before they are returned back to their owners. I know they can on humans. What I think is funny is that he was put in a Science Diet box and it was tape very well. You would have to use a knife to open it. I didn't open the box to look at him really didn't want to see him that way. I wanted to remember as he was. Maybe I should have.

SAMe (Denosyl) for Dukee
I have a question: How do I give Dukee SAMe (Denosyl) when he comes home when he is on a feeding tube? I noticed it came in tablet form on my research. One thing I did noticed on him when I popped the cans of wet food for the cats he still came in and took a few licks of the food but not enough. He has always done this. So when I feed the others when he gets home he will hear this. So how do I refrain him from eating their food if he is on a special diet? Will he be able to eat their food on top of his food? I also feed my cats snacks?Dukee knows it! Sorry for stupid questions but gotta ask! Boy, I know I'm going to have questions for you guys on this tube feeding. I don't want to be overwhelmed when the Vet hits me with this I want some firsthand knowledge from you guys. So it's preparing myself and my family. I certainly don't want them doing anything to jeopardize his health even though it wouldn't be intentional. I have never done it before! Yikes!

UPDATE:Dukee 10/28/06
Dukee is at the clinic as we speak. Believe me I rushed him A.S.A.P. when I got the call back. Please pray for him and send him positive energy! "I had one of the Techs tell me also that he may not make it. That I needed to think quality verses quantity on him that I should put the money on the kitties that may need it. I told her we had thought of that." That is he does have FIP at least we are trying to help others. At this point I don't care! I'm having a hard time to compose my self. My heart is breaking and trying to keep from crying is one of the hardest things to do especially in the public eye and at home. For those of you that don't know about my Taz go to his link below under Pet Memorial. You will see why I'm skiddish about any kitty being put under. Dukeedeserves this since he has been fighting to stay alive this long. I thinkthe Techrealized what she says to me doesn't make a damn to me and to you guys. If he does make it I will be overjoyed but if not it will be part of a learning lesson for those of us on the list. I will get all records and any information to help others. The Veterinarian will do a panel and the tube inserting along with medicated intravenous feeding. They will keep Dukee over the weekend in which I'm not surprised I expected it. Can you guys tell me how you feel on the FIP vaccination? I know my reputable breeder friends are against the vaccination. Iwould like your out take on this. Thanks!

Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: If someone has a sick child who needs very expensive medical care, would anyone tell them that the same amount of money could save 30 children dying of malaria in another country (which is probably true)? By her reasoning, no one should ever get expensive medical care for themselves, their kids, or their animals, because the same amount of money could always be used to buy simpler, cheaper life-saving care for other humans or animals in other places. There is of course logic to it. But love has its own logic, and the truth is that no matter what we do we can not save everyone. So it is good that the tech saves many animals over a few, in her own life, I guess. But it is nonsensical, as well as inappropriate and ineffective, for her to try to convince you to do the same. While she may save many, she obviously has never loved one in quite the way the way that we have, in a way that explodes logic and just creates a fierce need to protect them and maintain their life and happiness. If she tries to say anything to you again, tell her you have different priorities than her, and a lot of love for your individual animals. Michelle In a message dated 10/28/2006 2:37:31 P.M.

Dukee...he is awake!
Okay all, Dukee made through he is sitting up. They will be feeding him through the tube in just a bit. They said he is alert and looking around. He will remain on the IVs until Monday with meds flowing through. They will call me if anything changes on him. As I will call to check on him through out the evening. To be honest I didn't think he would be strong enough to make it through because of him being so weak. I'm thrilled right now...he does have the fight left in him tomake through this part and hope he continues on. Please continue with your prayers and positive energy it is working for him.

UPDATE:Dukee's Vet Appt
Okay all here is the news! Just got home awhile agoyes I do have him home. At least now we have something to go on but not much better. He has Liver failure and very jaundice. This Vet did a thorough work-up on him. She said at this point because of his color she didn't need to take blood from him the fact that he is anemic. He has a fever of 101 which means it's down from 103.8 He has lost more weight. He was 8 pounds and now is 7.4 pounds. She also said he has lost all of his muscle mass. She did say that he did need to be fed by a tube. Since force feeding will not work because it may make him sick. She said there aren't any guarantees that this would work on feeding him through the tube because of the liver damage. The fact is he has fat on it. There was an ultra-sound done it showed his liver damage. I would do this in a heart beat if I could afford it just give him a chance. We don't have any credit cards. We just don't have the funds to help him this little guy. Time is very critical here. So he will remain here and live his time out for however time he has left. When I see the pain and the horrible cry he will be taken in A.S.A.P. So we don't know how long he has...will try to make him comfortable. I have included the estimate of what it would cost through her. Would this be the norm? Esophagostomy Tube Placement $101.40 Surgical Materials$ 10.20 Geriatric Feline-No Felv/Fiv 59$101.70 10x12 Additional Views$46.10 Bandaging-Small$17.10 Gas Anesthesia-Mask Induction$97.05 Penicillin G-Procaine Injection 1mL$35.58 Amoxi-Drops 50 mg/ml 30 ml$26.25 Flagyl/Metronidazole 250mg Tab $13.51 Hi-Vite Drops 1 ounce$15.34 Euk Maximum Calorie K9/Fe Can$ 8.34 SQ Fluids/Liter For Hosp Admin $41.75 Hospitalization Part Day $29.50 Tax$ 5.98 APPROXIMATETotal$564.32 Terrie Mohr-ForkerTAZZY'S ANIMAL TRANSPORTSSIAMESE COLLIE RESCUEDonations accepted at:https://www.paypal.com/http://www.tazzys-siameses-collies.petfinder.org/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wasiameserescuehttp://hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/myhomepage/petmemorial.htmlhttp://www.felineleukemia.org/http://www.hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/index.htmlhttp://www.petloss.com/
Re: UPDATE:Dukee's Vet Appt
She said that because of the percentage being high on the Titers that it is probable having FIP. That the liver damage is a cause of FIP. She did take a sample of his blood and sent it out. At this point it wouldn't make any difference on his results. But warned me that she is siding with FIP on this. He has too much damage in such a short amount of time and the fact he is very jaundiced. As I stated she did ultra sounds and I forgot to add that he had xrays done as well. She could feel his some of his organs. They were swollen. I know I'm not giving the information you would like to hear. If he has the tube in him he will get a complete workup done on him Vet made a point of saying that to me. My husband isn't home yet I will ask him if we have the funds to do so. He will probably crap his pants since we just recently paid off the original Taz's medical bills. ($5000.00) Vet's office doesn't have a payment plan. But he is a cat lover and does love Dukee. I guess I will wait an see if we can do this. I'm frustrated as well and very tired. I just want to do what's best for Dukee and make him comfortable. In a message dated 10/27/2006 4:26:48 P.M.

I have soft lights, food and water along with their beds in here. Can anyone tell me what tranquilizer to give to help him to the Rainbow Bridge? Otherwise I will wait until early morning to let him go. So this will be a long night for me. He is crying and very weak. He has never been one to cry. He is such a good boy just like my original Taz. Poor guys have never done anything wrong in their lives. God they are about the same age too when it was time. God this is so heartbreaking! I have given him his doses of his meds and the Interferon nothing is working for him. Force feeding isn't a option here because I don't want him throwing up what little he has eaten..

I know it sometimes helps ease the pain, just a little, to talk to my loved one about all the Angels and friends that are hovering near, waiting anxiously to greet them. I talk about the joy and celebration that awaits, how soon there will be no more pain, no more discomfort, no more fear. How soon they will leave their beautiful body behind, to venture on an incredible adventure. I tell them how much their earth bound family will miss them, but how they won't miss us. They won't miss us because we will always be connected, because we will love each other forever, and even though I'll only be able to see them in my dreams and memories, they'll be able to see me whenever they like. I close my eyes and "see" them whole and free, chasing butterflies with my loved ones that have already passed. I ask them to see it with me, to know that they are going to a beautiful place full of loving friends. I talk about the first time I laid eyes on them, favorite memories, about how those moments will exist in my heart and keep me company until we can be together again.

Thank you Yes, I seen the messages that's okay. Rudy my Siamese does that to me sometimes. The answer is yes Hideyo he was given the Interferon by my best friend that is a Vet Tech. She is familiar with it. There isdamage to his system I guess was too late for it to work. He is slowly leaving us. He doesn't want to be touched by me or his family of kitties. I have noticed to he is limping on the left rear leg. That's unlike him so that tells me he isn't happy. When in general he is a happy kitty. In a message dated 10/26/2006 10:26:35 P.M.

Re: Losing Dukee...... :(
My girlfriend was close by so I ask her to help me on this. She said she would be more than glad to help in this matter on giving Dukee his Interferon treatments. She is also retired Manager and Vet Tech of a huge animal clinic. I have a lot of confidence in her. She is always rescuing animals. She has a heart of gold. She has animals that are throw-aways from humans. Many that have special needs. She is familiar with Interferon, that is why I trusted her in helping me on this since I didn't have any experience with it. She doesn't have access to it like you do Hideyo. She also said thank you for what you do as well.

Dukee's tests....Hideyo...Appreciate your input and help on this!
Hi Hideyo and everyone, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've been trying to gather more information up about this and working to make a little money. I spent an hour with a couple of Vet Techs at the Vets office today. They in fact called the lab (Phoenix Central Laboratory) up to get more information on the testing. They ask what his level was they said it might not be FIP then it could be. There was no clear answer on this. So the Vet Techs got out some new Vet books that have been published in the last year they are going to put some literature together to give me. Dukee continues to eat and drink water. He is using the litter box. He hasn't thrown up only the one time I saw it. He is still purring. He isn't playing not even acknowledging catnip in which is his favorite. I did find out what tests were ran on the blood they took. This is the results but it's not what I wanted to see. I had thought he had a total blood work up. I'm not taking him back outside and stressed him out more. TEST NAMES Test Name: Feline Viral II Negative Test performed by Elisa *There is no antibody test to date that differentiates between infected and vaccinated cats. *Vaccinated cats will have positive antibody responses indistinguishable from that of infected cats for at least 1 year post vaccination. FeLV ELISA Negative FIP SCREEN: TITER IS 1:6400 or greater Interpretation: Positive titers are not diagnostic for FIP. Although FIP titers greater than or equal to 1:6400 are more often associated with clinical FIP, titers less than 1:6400 and negative titers do not rule it out. (Negative 1:100) Please do send me some! I have never used this before so I'm blinded by this. I'm not ready tolose Dukee. Vinnie is doing better. Which I'm glad to say your prayers are helping. I will agree with you all on this so-calleddiagnosis of FIP. Which I don't think he has. He doesn't show any of the classic signs of it. What do you need as for payment for this Infereron? Where can I order some? Can I purchase from you? How do I give it to him? Is this by mouth or by IV? Sorry for all the questions. Pardon the _expression_ I'm just scared sh*tless over this.

Belinda, Can you put Dukee and Vinnie on the special list for prayers. As you guys know I have more cats in my home. Total cats residing is 10 so this is devastating news for us. Well it's not good on Dukee. He has lost so much weight it's unreal. His appetite is decreasing and water intake as well. He continues to go downward. His results are back hehas testedvery high for FIP My Vet is so sorry to tell me this. He is a good man as he has lost some of his own personal kitties to this horrible disease as well. He said to give him lots of good food and love. He does "Not" euthanize kitties unless it's permitted by the caregivers. Dukee is being distant with us but when we sit with him he is still purring. All he wants to do is sleep. I have told my Vet that when I see he is uncomfortable I will bring him and let him go to the Rainbow-Bridge. He said he tested negative for Felv/Fiv I will get the lab results in a bit and post to you guys so you can read it. My Vet has told me to treat all as if they are FIP God almighty this is just horrible! Vinnie goes in a bit...he appears to be doing well in the last 24 hours.

He uses this term on URI's as well. Use with caution and don't bring others into the home. Quarantine kitties inside. (which mine don't go outside) Give good diets. Clean litter boxes Keep everything sanitized is what he said. He said he figures Dukee had been expose when he was a baby before I rescued him. Then when his heart started acting up this was a start of everything. Suppressed Immune system. Vetis really sympathetic on this. This is which I do anyway. I clean house every 2 days with bleach when mopping floors. I scoop litter boxes several times a day. Dump every 2 days. The test results indicate high titers in which is possible for FIP I will pick up results when I leave in a bit. In a message dated 10/21/2006 12:16:41 P.M.

He is a Ragdoll mix was a rescue of mine when I got him at the age of 5-6 weeks of age. He is now 3 years old. I don't need this right now on top of losing Sam back in March.

Sorry so long but needed to vent/shed a few tearsabit in hopes to make myself feel better so when my husband comes home from helping his friends working on a truck...I can talk to him without losing it. Thank you for hearing me outyou guys are awesome and the best! So please send good vibes our way in hopes Dukee and Vinnie are alright. Belinda can you add these two to the list for prayers and such!

Sherry, My heart goes all out to you for what you do. I'm so sorry to hear about Katarina. I have a personal kitty that is a Torti she is my baby. I can't imagine at this time on how I would feel if I lost her. She is a rescue herself. I got her when she was barely 4-5 weeks old. She is now 4 yrs old. Myself, being a rescue sure I deal with a lot of cats but not the load of having Felv/Fiv kitties. God it's gotta be tough to be so close to all the kitties that you deal with on a regular basics. I tip my hat to you for what you do. Bless you for being there for the kitties. There is a special place in heaven waiting for you when the time comes.

Re: OT: Photo contest Terrie's Siamese/Recent Rescue
Thank you so much for saying that. It hasn't been the same since losing them. I miss both Sam and Ling. Sam was only 2 yrs old and Ling was 16 yrs old. Both Tazzy and Vinnie are still with me. They are spoiled but in a good way. I do have other Siamese but couldn't get them to stay on the couch. P.S. I want to add that I rescued a 17 and a half yr old Sealpoint male. The family was movingg They had this guy since he was a kitten. This really irks me something fierce. This is one of the reasons why I don't like people in general. I knew darn well nobody would adopt him because of his age. So I took him home and he will live his time out with me. He has became my granddaughter's kitty. He sleeps with her every night on her pillow. In a message dated 10/5/2006 8:05:54 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: OH your babies are beautiful!

Daughter's Kitty...CLS
Belinda, Can you add my daughter's kitty "Gutt" to the Candlelight Services? My daughter's name is Julie. Gutt was 8-9 yrs old. He was an awesome Maine Coon mix I adored him ever since he was a baby. I had noticed that he was acting strange and losing weight. He was losing control of his hind legs. Also, loose bowels and the fact that his zest for life was gone he was crying. I had also noticed this for the last few days was hoping he had just a bad tummy. This was so sudden. My gut feeling was he had a mass growing and thought it was a tumor. He lost 3 pounds in the since last month. (She weighed him every month) I told her he needed to go to the Vet A.S.A.P. so she called was able to get in to seeone of my favorite Vetsthis evening. Sadly to say he had a huge mass the size of a baseball growing in stomach. My daughter decided to let him goto the"Rainbow Bridge" because she didn't have the money to pay for added expenses due to her divorce and being a single parent. She told me that she wanted him to go peacefully and his quality of life is what mattered not quantity. She wasn't thinking about herself only about him she didn't want him to suffer. She didn't want him to endure all the medical treatments with his chances being slim of survival. I'm proud of her for making that decision even though it was hard on her. My husband and I would have helped her in this matter. She didn't want him to suffer. Julieloved him with all her heart. So she brought him home and we buried him next to "Sam" that I lost back in March. My husband dugged the hole for him. This man had recent shoulder surgery but it didn't matter. He loved Gutt as well. We read the Rainbow Bridge and a prayer to him. Laid him to rest. We all hugged and cried in each other arms. This was about an hour and a half ago. My husband also said that he was going to build a special fence around the area we have for all the futurefurangels that pass on to the Rainbow Bridge. Yes, we have a Pet Cemetery on our new property. Which is under a beautifulmaple tree.

Yes, I do actually the more the better! It shows they do care about kitties that have this horrible disease. My Vets are great!

Re: Partners' reactions to FeLV+
My husband is the same way. He is very supportive of what I do and with my rescue. He is such a big baby when it comes to the care of the cats/kittens. He is the first to rush them to the Vets and say do what you gotta do to help them. He also knows when it is time to let them go to the bridge it is time he does notlike the suffering. He compares it to him that he doesn't want to suffer so why should they. As long as the bills get paid he is a happy camper! :) In a message dated 9/21/2006 2:39:59 P.M.

Re: OT: Need feedback please (soapbox)
I'm with you on this! Totally agree! In a message dated 8/31/2006 8:15:11 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: (climbing up onto big bargain size soapbox) I think a harsh mental picture is what more people need to have. If more people cringed, we might live in a world that was more apt to protect animals. The fact that anyone on this list wasn't aware of any of those issues in itself speaks for the lack of animal abuse education in our society. Cringe away... have nightmares... cry... then go out and MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Lobby for harsher animal cruelty laws, lobby to have the states that require shelters give unadopted animals to research facilities change those laws (the term is called "pound seizure, I believe), Lobby to end animal experimentation or to at least stop allowing class B dealers (also known as "bunchers"). Picket, get out and hold a sign. We live in a wonderful democracy (those of us here in the USA) but it doesn't work if you don't use it, so WRITE your representatives and urge them to sponsor bills to tighten animal cruelty laws and change the ones that effect animals in a bad way. Visit your local high school, and colleges, and see if they dissect cats or use animals in any of their labs, and if they do, urge them to stop, picket them, hand out flyers to all the students about all of the alternatives available these days. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Just make a difference. Until now, some of you may have been unaware, NOW, you are not. Before, you didn't know, so things happened around you without your knowledge, NOW you know, and you have the power to try to effect changes. That's what activism is, you see a wrong, and you set out to make it right. It's that simple. Now you just simply have to start caring enough to take action. I'm not saying you don't care when I say that, I'm saying, from my own experience, it takes a LOT of willpower to take the time out of your busy life to actually DO anything to make the world a better place. No, it doesn't just happen, and no, others wont do it for you. So when I say you have to care ENOUGH to take action, I mean that you have to PUSH yourself to DO what needs to be done, because it's really easy to take a neutral stance in life, and let everyone else run the show, but it takes time, energy, and determination to go out and do it for yourself. WE, you and I, are the voice and protectors of the animals we rule over in our society, to give them voices, we have to put aside our own, and make room for their message in our lives, then, we have to go out and spread the message, because what good is a message that no one hears? Every tear I shed, though they may be many, is far outnumbered by the numbers of animals that suffer in our world, and my tears, though they may fall, will never make a difference in anyone's life but my own, and that just isn't enough. If only I could collect a dollar for every tear I cry, and give it to the cause that made them fall, then, perhaps, my sadness would be justified in itself. Actions speak louder than tears.

My letter follow below: Hi Kathy, Belinda here, I admin the ads, and there are no "Free To Good Home" ads allowed, none is the same as FREE. This is very dangerous for the cat, there are all kinds of lunatics out there. I don't think you want Tiger to end up being ripped to shreds by a Pit Bull in training to fight, or to spend his last few minutes on earth petrified while a snake squeezes the life out of him and devours him. Or maybe a sick, demented person who scours ads daily looking for an animal to torture and beat until they tire of them and finally put them out of their misery by killing them. Then there's the buncher who looks for free or cheap pets to take to labs where they are experimented on and then killed when they have served their purpose, these bunchers get anywhere from $30 to $100 dollars a pet from these labs. Giving an animal away FREE is very dangerous for that animal and I personally would rather euthanise a pet than take a chance that they could end up in some horrible situation like those I described. I get emails every single day about some poor pet that has endured horrible things until they finally died or were killed. I have even been told by some of my rescues how a whole family will come to look at an adoptee making them appear quite normal, only to find out later the pet was tortured again and again until it finally died or was killed. Please, please be very, very careful who you hand Tiger over to, he is depending on you to make sure he is safe when he goes to his new home!! Thank you.

Some let their cats mix some don't, it's a personal preference thing. I personally had 6 cats, my Bailey was my FeLV positive, he was + at 5 months of age. I just lost him last month to anemia at 11 years of age, he wasn't sick for all of those years. I just lost him in May after a 5 month illness to what turned out to be cancer. He lived, ate, slept, played with, groomed and on occasion had spats with all his vaccinated, negative housemates for all those years and nobody ever got it from him. It is almost impossible for a healthy, adult cat to get it from a positive and if they ever did the healthy adult cats immune system would fight it off. The bottom line is it isn't as contagious as most vets would have you believe. AND FIV is even less contagious and harder to give to another cat as it takes a deep bite wound to for it to be even possible to transmit it from one cat to another.

Re: OT: Get your hankie out :) {had to share}
ion and bell get louder, until I finally identify their source. There, in the last cage at the end of the line, is a tiny black kitten, batting a plastic jingle ball around its cage and purring at the top of its little kitty lungs. Ah, I think, this must be the calico's brother. Imagine that, a black male cat. His antics amuse me, and I find myself stirred by his show of life. But then, as if propelled by some counter-magnetic force, I turn abruptly away from his cage, searching in earnest for what I really want. Except that, now, compared to the vibrant little one, the other cats seem even more lifeless, like four-legged zombies or feather dusters on sticks. The purring and jingling black kitten emanates a presence that tugs and beckons, reeling me in. Come see! Come see me! And so I do. "Oh my, little one. What are we going to do?" I ask out loud, quietly, as he rubs against the bars of his cage, leaning toward my touch. As if on cue, the attendant appears and says, "Want to hold him?" "Okay," I breathe, knowing all the while that I am losing my grip on something and sinking fast. Not into quicksand this time, but into something softer, darker, more comforting, like the sleek black velvet of this little one's body in my arms. As the kitten crawls up my jacket and against my neck, purring loudly into my ear, I read the sign at the side of his cage: Black male cat. Purrs like a motorboat. Name: Muggins. I am not making this up. "So, what do you think?" grins the attendant, holding the cage door open. "I think," I say through my tears, "this is my cat."Reprinted by permission of Mary Knight (c) 2004 from Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Marty Becker, D.V.M. and Amy D.

Re: A poem to Everyone who have lost your little angels in the past..
I agree that poem is beautiful. I have it in my files. When I bury a furbaby I read this to give me some comfort. Butit still hard though. Surprisingly I don't know it by heart. Some things just don't register in my brain. Letter From Your Pet In HeavenTo my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.But first of all, to let you know, that I arrivedokay.I'm writing this from the Bridge.Here I dwell with God above.Here there's no more tears of sadness.Here is just eternal love.Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out ofsight.Remember that I am with you every morning, noon andnight.That day I had to leave you when my life on earth wasthrough,God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcomeyou.It's good to have you back again, you were missedwhile you weregone.As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on."God gave me a list of things that he wished for me todo.And foremost on the list was to watch and care foryou.And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores putto flight,God and I are closest to you... in the middle of thenight.When you think of my life on earth, and all thoseloving years,because you are only human, they are bound to bringyou tears.But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.Remember there would be no flowers, unless there wassome rain.I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.But one thing is for certain, though my life on earthis o'er.I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills toclimb;But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for youtoo;That as you give unto the world, the world will giveto you.If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;Then you can say to God at night..."My day was not in vain."And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.Knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile.God says: "If you meet somebody who is sad and feelinglow;Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way yougo."When you're walking down the street with me on yourmind;I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.And when it's time for you to go... from that body tobe free.Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me.-Author Unknown Terrie Mohr-ForkerTAZZY'S ANIMAL TRANSPORTSSIAMESE COLLIE RESCUEOwner/DriverCheck sites for available Siameses for adoption!http://www.tazzys-siameses-collies.petfinder.org/Click Here to Join WASHINGTON SIAMESE RESCUE Yahoo Group!http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wasiameserescuehttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/SNOHOMISH_COUNTY_PETS_in_WAhttp://hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/index.htmlhttp://hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/myhomepage/petmemorial.htmlPetfinder.comAdopt a Homeless Pet!http://www.petfinder.com/http://www.felineleukemia.org/http://www.petloss.com/TAZZY'S ANIMAL TRANSPORTShttps://www.paypal.com/http://www.frappr.com/wasiameserescue
