Dear Sherry: Tell Dexter mom to just take one day at a time! It is amazing how the days add up into months! Trust me, I know from fresh experience!
My partner/roommate that does rescue with me had a 16 year old cat named Boomer with congestive heart failure. Last November of 2005, the specialist gave Boomer two to four months to live. We give him his medication and let him eat anything and everything on the kitchen table. Boomer just left us last Wednesday. Boomer lived five months more then the specialist expected! We brought home Popeye's chicken late Wednesday night after doing an adoption and checking on our cats at the PETsMART Adoption Center. Boomer had his favorite chicken and proceeded to go back to his resting place. He threw a blood clot and his back legs became paralyzed. We picked him up and started for the emergency room. We just got around the corner from the emergency room and he died in my arms. It is hard to go into the kitchen now! I expect to see Boomer on the kitchen table waiting for his Sheba like every morning before his death! He will be missed! I started writing this to assure you that you may have more time with Dexter. Not expecting that reaccounting that night would bring tears. I have not cried since that night for Boomer but writing this has brought back the tears! Hopefully, Dexter will live longer then estimated and you and his mother will have more days then expected to enjoy him! I am off to find some tissue!
