Sweet babies -- they both were lucky to have been loved and cared for by
you both. It is truly heartbreaking to lose them, no matter how long (or
how short) their time with us was. They will be waiting for you at the
Bridge.
Goodnight, sweet Carmel.......
Goodnight, sweet Ezra.......

I'm so sorry for your losses. Deciding when to end our
loved ones
suffering is always the toughest decision in the world.
No matter what
we do, there are always the what if questions that plague
our memories.
Tad is right, these cats do all seem to have an extra
loving zest for
life. I don't know if thats because of their
condition, or because of
the people who adopt them. Certainly those
of us with the courage to
love these seemingly doomed angels foster an
atmosphere of caring that
brings out the best in those we touch. My
mantra has become, "All I can
do, is all I can do". Sometimes it
even brings me comfort. It's
especially hard when we take in
"ferals" that won't allow us to
administer to them. We have to be
content in knowing how much better
their lives are than if they'd never
crossed our path.
One other thing that I'd like to mention.
Kerry mentioned that Clavomox
was prescribed. My little Grace has
"crashed" and recovered twice now.
The first time, she was put on
two doses of Clavomox. It would help
temporarily, and then she would
succumb again. I started giving her
Doxycycline and it's made a
tremendous difference. What ever bacteria
is attaching her system,
(the tests didn't tell us), responds much more
effectively to the Dox and
I credit it with saving her life twice.
She's now on both Dox and
Virbagen, and I'm praying that the combination
will help her beat the
odds.
We all know what you're going through, and we are suffering your
loss
with you. Thank you for knowing how to love
unconditionally.
Much
Love,
Nina
