[Felvtalk] Husband has passed away..... :(
Thank you all for your kind words and love in this difficult time for me. It is hard on me since we have been together for many years. He had a genuine love for animals and supported me in everything I did in rescue. My husband passed away 4:30 in themorning on Thursday. He died peacefully in his sleep. I know he is longer in pain and sick is healthy again. He will be greeted by others that have went to the Rainbow Bridge especially by my Taz as he loved him too.

She was starving when I found her, but she has gained weight and is looking good. Her eyes just glisten and she seems healthy. The vet said she was about a year old. She only weighed six pounds last week. I did not have the heart to euthanize her when she is not suffering. However, I have three healthy cats upstairs and I live in constant fear that they will escape to the basement where this cat we now call Amber is staying. I keep her in a nice cage during most of the time and let her out to get her exercise in the basement about four hours per day. My husband is building her a 8' long x 4' wide x 6' tall cage so she will have more room I do hate keeping her caged up, but don't have a choice. She is very sweet and it is just a sad situation. I tried to find a home for her but no one seems to want a cat with her issues. We are trying to be very cautious regarding the other cats, but it is does make me fearful. I plan to have her rested in three months. I am so new to this situation, so any comments or ideas are much appreciated.

Thirty days later, he tested negative on the snap test, the ELISA test and continued to test negative on the IFA test. As a precaution, we tested again 30 days later, and he continued to test negative on all three tests. His body built an immune defense and fought off the virus --- On Mon, 3/14/11, Jannes Taylor jannestay...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Jannes Taylor jannestay...@yahoo.com Subject: [Felvtalk] Any advice appreciated. To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Monday, March 14, 2011, 1:50 PM Hello, I rescued a stray two weeks ago. Took her to the vet a week ago and they said she was FELV positive. She was starving when I found her, but she has gained weight and is looking good. Her eyes just glisten and she seems healthy. The vet said she was about a year old. She only weighed six pounds last week. I did not have the heart to euthanize her when she is not suffering. However, I have three healthy cats upstairs and I live in constant fear that they will escape to the basement where this cat we now call Amber is staying. I keep her in a nice cage during most of the time and let her out to get her exercise in the basement about four hours per day. My husband is building her a 8' long x 4' wide x 6' tall cage so she will have more room I do hate keeping her caged up, but don't have a choice. She is very sweet and it is just a sad situation. I tried to find a home for her but no one seems to want a cat with her issues. We are trying to be very cautious regarding the other cats, but it is does make me fearful. I plan to have her rested in three months. I am so new to this situation, so any comments or ideas are much appreciated.

Dear Terrie, I will light a candle for your husband tonight. May your memories the love you shared help sustain you through your loss. Kat (Mew Jersey) A Bridge Called Love It takes us back to brighter years, to happier sunlit days and to precious moments that will be with us always. And these fond recollections are treasured in the heart to bring us always close to those from whom we had to part. There is a bridge of memories from earth to Heaven above... It keeps our dear ones near us It's the bridge that we call love. ~ Author Unknown ~ God's Garden God looked around His garden and found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest God's Garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never get well on earth again He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered Peace be thine It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you Home. ~ Author Unknown ~ I Only Wanted You They say memories are golden well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.

I'm so sorry to learn that your husband has passed. I pray you find comfort in knowing he's in a better place, with so many of our beloved animals. He'll know only perfect health and happiness for eternity. And when you consider that you'll have forever together, this separation is but a speck of time. He's not gone... just one ahead.

Re: [Felvtalk] Husband has passed away..... :(
Terrie, I don't know that we've ever spoken but I always recognize your name when it pops up here as all if my family is from WA. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be. My bf of 11 years is also my partner in rescue, and I know many do not have the support and help of their partners in this line of work. I am sure the bond you have shared for so long spans far beyond the words love, friendship, husband, partner and companion. I hope the many years lof love you had together will help carry you on. It has to be harder than words could every say and no expression of sympathy could truly feel adequate. Thank you for sharing here so that we can all keep you in our thoughts.
