Re: Please add Spencer to the CLS
Thank you Leslie. As always you express yourself so well. Your mention of dreading certain subject lines brought the memory of similar pangs experienced for other's fur kids when reading the list. Sometimes this group is a difficult one to be a part of, but isn't that just the way of meaningful life? Difficult to be a part of, but oh so worthwhile. I have to look for the email in which you liken my mental gymnastics over what to do about Spencer to an amazing ballet. That one is a keeper. Such a perfect description of what we all go through. I think I saw mention from you about someone sneezing at your house. Is everyone okay? Nina Leslie wrote: I can't be like this at work. no, no, no. When I got the digest, I said, yay! a break from the toil, but then when I glanced at the subjects and saw your wish to add Spence to the CLS at the bottom, I was devastated. I scrolled slowly down reading through the messages and as each one ended, I hoped, hoped, that the next one would not be the one, keeping him alive for a few moments more in my reality. Like reading a book over and over, but hoping that somehow this time, the end will be different than the last time. But it wasn't. Nina, your beautiful description of Spencer and his life and spirit made him a part of our days. I grieve for him and for you and can only make myself feel better by imagining him and my Sushi, Hepburn, and Azrael meeting now. I am so sorry, but thank you so much for sharing such an amazing force with us, I feel completely touched to have known him. Leslie
To Nina: Re: Please add Spencer to the CLS
Hi Nina, I just read your posts about Spencer. I am so sorry to hear that you had to let him go. He sounds like such a miraculous kitty, the way he reached out to you before he passed on. It sounds to me like he was trying to comfort you before he left. Bless you for doing all the wonderful small things to make Spencer's last days here as happy as possible. I just know he loved going outside that last time. Again, I am so sorry you had to let him go. Bless you for doing it. He's free now. Prayers and blessings going out to you, Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: Please add Spencer to the CLS
Dear Nina, I am so sorry about Spencer. You did good, both in finding him again so that he could spend his last days with love and comfort, and in helping him go on when the time was right. It is so sad, but so wonderful that he spentthe last of his time here sitting on the porch next to his good friend. I don't know if your "GSD" is a cuddler,but a good cry on a big dog's shoulder has helpedme at times like this. Peace to you and yours, Beth

Re: Please add Spencer to the CLS
Oh, Nina! I wish I had the words to express my thoughts more poetically than, I know exactly how you feel! But it's just as simple as that, I guess...You were there for me when my special guy, Fuss-fuss passed away...and Spence sounds like he was to you what Fuss was to me. You're right, they're all hard...but there are a few that are particularly hard. It's helped me to keep in mind that journeys work both ways...not everyone is placed in our own lives for our own benefit...we, too, get placed in others' lives for the other person's or animal's benefit. For some of my cats, I feel as though I'm simply on the periphery of their journey...a blip on their radar, so-to- speak! Which is fine by me as I understand we're all busy trying to figure out our own destinies...and if I can make theirs that much more enjoyable (or entertaining as the case often is), so be it! :) But then there are those cats whose journey seems to be intertwined with mine for a brief period of tim e, and I am honored that they are here to teach me...likewise, it hurts the most when it's time for them to leave as I feel we are a part of each other. :( Now, I'm not saying that one relationship is better or more important than the other as we're all brought together for one reason or another...but some of these guys seem to talk to you on a different level and you're never really the same again! Please know that you are in my thoughts and let me know if there's anything I can do!! Jen But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world; You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed... --Antoine de Saint-Exupéry If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.

Unbelievably, he rallied and was actually able to stumble to his favorite spot under my Jeep parked in the driveway. He even drank from the feral's water bowl. I couldn't stand seeing him on the uncomfortable cement any longer and put him on his bed and we sat and quietly watched the neighborhood comings and goings from the front steps.I had just brought him back inside when I saw my vet approaching up the front walk. Heaven help me, but I wanted to scream, NO! NOT YET! Of course, it was time to finally say goodbye.Do you still do tributes with their pictures? I'm going to send you his picture off-list to include in case you do. Bless it, this was a hard one, (but then I guess there just aren't any easy ones, are there?).I want to express my gratitude once again to this incredible list of caring people. I went through such contortions dealing with Spencer's illness and decline. I don't know how I would have coped without your support and prayers.Much love as always,NinaVisit my Tigger Tales site!

My heart breaks for you. We all have gone through losing that very special one, but you still have those beautiful memories. Thank you so much for sharing Spencer with us. Sheila
Re: Please add Spencer to the CLS
Nina, just want to add my condolences - yes, we do understand. I'm so very sorry, I know how hard it is.

Spencer had been so weak yesterday, but still so attentive and loving, what an incredible spirit this boy has. The vet was late, (I'm so glad he was), and I had been laying next to Spencer on our bed, keeping him company while we waited. He lifted his head and tried to move, but he just couldn't get his once magnificent body to work. I decided to bring him out front. He used to love going out with his dogs every morning to get the paper and I thought he might enjoy going out one more time. I was right.
