Oh Wendy, I am so, so sorry, and in tears with you. Like, I'm sure, everyone else who's been following your and Cricket's story, I've been wondering this morning he fared, and hoping for the best.
I am so very glad that you were at home when the time came, and that he woke you up so you could be with him and comfort him at the end. That means so much. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts as you come to terms with the physical loss of your dear little furball. I know he will live in a happy place in your memory for ever. love and hugs, Kerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wendy Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Cricket Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know that Cricket passed away last night about 2:42 am Texas time. I am pretty torn up right now. I feel like such a dork because I carried his collar to work with me today. He had the feeding tube procedure done, but was just so anemic, that after the procedure, he couldn't get his breath. For most of the night, I thought he was just having a hard time coming out of the sedation (gas) because he never really did and was having problems breathing, but the vet said his trachea probably got irritated from the procedure, and that he should be fine later. He slept right next to me last night and about 2:20 he woke me up trying to cry, and I picked him up and took him to the living room because I knew something wasn't right. He died about 20 minutes later. I have asked God countless times to let me be there when Cricket passed so that he wouldn't be as scared or lonely (like he would be if I was at work and died). God honored that request, thankfully, but it was still very hard. My husband, nephew, and I will have a little ceremony this afternoon for him. I am glad that he is not in pain or weak or suffering and I know that I did just about everything humanly and financially possible, but it doesn't help. At least not right now. I am going to write him a little tribute to bury with him. He was such a wonderful companion. I will send a pic out of him later when I get home. Thank all of you SO much for helping me and Cricket through these last three and a half weeks. Your kindness is immeasurable, and I plan to stick around and help out anyone else I can even though I don't have anymore FeLV (that I know of-I need to have my other two retested). God Bless each and every one of you. :) Wendy __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com <hr> IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
