Re: Tai has gone to the bridge

I am so, so sorry. That is horrible.  My Buddy, who was also positive (and only 18 months old) and died of anemia (probably from lymphoma or leukemia) got a huge gaping wound on his back from scratching where I was giving him fluids. All the skin on the spot just came off and it was like looking right into his body. I had no idea that it had to do with the anemia until you just wrote what you did.  It is horrible to remember, and of course I will always remember it, just like you will always remember this.  But please take some comfort in the fact that Tai was still feeling a little bit affectionate, and that she went while still in those last lucid moments. I waited too long with Buddy, I think.  He went on his own, and was so uncomfortable during his last day. Much love and comfort, Michelle
