To Sheila: Re: Charlie Brown - Long
Sheila, I am so sorry to hear about Charlie Brown. It sounds like you are very in tune to what he wants and that's a good thing. I am behind on emails so I'm not sure if he's still with you. Prayers going out for both of you. :) Wendy --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My Charlie Brown is leaving me. This wonderful old man has been with me for fifteen years.

Re: Charlie Brown - Long
Please allow Charlie Brown to leave this world the way he wants to. It is so very difficult. I did it with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt and have never regretted it. He loves you so very much. Make sure and tell him it is ok to leave when he is ready and that you will be ok-that he will still be with you in another, healthy form and that, if he wants to, he can come back as another cat. Blessings and peace to both of you. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Re: Charlie Brown - Long
Hi Sheila, *BIG HUGS* Yes, please let him go the way he wants. He has fought to stay on - I don't think he wants anyone to decide when its time. Give him all the love you can.

Re: Charlie Brown - Long
Dear Sheila, Please know that both you Charlie will be in my prayers. I know you must be so heartbroken. What a wonderful life you have given him Reading your story reminded me of my Mr. Chow - the first fur baby I had w/ Felv. This was YEARS ago, no testing, blah, blah, blah.. I saved him when we had the Three Mile Island incident here. His owner decided to leave town was going to put him in a shelter.. That I couldn't take... Long family history w/ Mr. Chow, her ex-husband had mom, Casey, I had Pee Wee, a sibling from another litter.. I couldn't bear the thought of what would happen to him in a shelter. (And I did have Casey spayed after the last litter w/ Pee Wee) Mr. Chow was gorgeous, LH, red, ever so sweet.. I had him for many wonderful years, he brought so much love happiness to me. Then one day he just collapsed.No warning, no other problems... I was devastated took him immediately to vet... They did many tests. He showed no signs of what his problem was.. So, I decided to have that thing [can't remember the word,sorry], and he had lymphoma [BIG TIME].due to Felv. which was discovered doing primary/initial BW. (After MANY years, things changed...) Apparently he had lived w/ Felv for a long time...When they had put him under for the procedure, things looked REAL bad. And he was in so much pain I reluctantly made the decision NOT to bring him back from anesthesiaHis prognosis was so very bad. Broke my heart, but I loved him so much, I didn't want him to have to endure such a lousy life. And, he DID live to be 14 Who knows how long he had Felv? My Mr. Chow was my first encounter w/ Felv. And, bless him, that made a major difference. I NEEDED to know all/anything about this dreaded disease. All this just proves Felv is NOT a death sentence. Only wish more vets, rescues, etc. would feel the same way :( Having been involved w/ shelter I know only too well that many Felv cats can live a long life. Just wanted to let you know you're both in my prayers And, share my story.. (Maybe already did, but this memory/brain thing, well, that says it all.) Much love hugs, Patti her gang ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Re: Charlie Brown - Long
Sending peace to Charlie Brown... I would want to know why he stopped being able to walk overnight, were it me, personally. Could be entirely curable.

Re: Charlie Brown - Long
I'm sorry I forgot to say I took Charlie to the nearest vet thirty miles from home (I'm very rural) Friday morning. The Doc only did blood test and told me its the felv and that we should pts. Charlie doesn't want to go that way. I called around to other doctors offices all are closed for weekend. The nearest emergency vet is over a hundred miles from here and I just don't think he could take the drive. Tomorrow I will try to find another vet closer to us. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
