Previous thread about Cole

Many of you know that just as Cole was starting his OTJ trial less than a week ago, an aggressive growth was found in his mouth. Elizabeth took him to the emergency clinic this morning where he was seen by an oncologist. Due to the aggressive nature of the tumour and poor prognosis of possible treatments, he is being put on palliative care. She is now focusing her energy on keeping Cole comfortable and loving him up as much as possible, and will not be posting.

Elizabeth is so grateful for the support from this community during Cole's journey with FD. It was important to her that you know what is going on, so I will keep you posted. Right now, she could really use your prayers, thoughts and support.
 
Prayers and vines from me. This is so bittersweet. I wish I could wave a magic wand and get rid of this cancer. :bighug:
 
My heart is breaking for you Elizabeth. :bighug::bighug::bighug: I hope you still have some good cuddle time with Cole yet. Give him some kisses from all of us.
 
Sending lots of love, prayers, and peace. You are such a loving mama bean, Elizabeth @Colio - all of your furbabies are so lucky to have your love. Many hugs to you and to Cole and to your family.
 
I'm so sorry. My civvie Simba had cancer in her mouth. She had good days and bad days. Just focus on the moment at hand and make the most of it and try not to think about the future. Sending prayers. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Many thoughts and prayers for Elizabeth and Cole :bighug:. May you both be granted as much quality time with each other as possible in the days ahead. Loving pets to Cole & hugs to you Elizabeth.
 
Oh no :( My thoughts are with you Elizabeth and Cole. I hope you get to have him with you for as long as possible while he is still happy. I'm so sorry for such bad news :bighug:
 
Oh no. That is such heartbreaking news :(
Hugs to Elizabeth and Cole :bighug: Hoping he can be kept comfortable and the family gets as much love and cuddles as possible. Poor little sweetheart :(
 
:(Oh no. Poor little Cole. Just as he was beating the FD ... so disheartening. Give him lots of cuddles, scratches and kisses on his sweet little nose. Heartbroken...
 
I am so sorry to hear about Cole. I know he is so loved and cared for. Our thoughts and prayers are with Elizabeth, her husband and Cole.
 
Elizabeth, this is so sad! Your sweet little Cole has done beautifully with his FD and now he has to fight something else.
Sending you all my positive vibes and prayers for your little boy!
Thinking of you! :bighug::bighug:
 
Sending prayers, vines and keeping both in my thoughts. Such sad news.

I was recently told that Gremlin may have cancer in his mouth, we are playing the waiting game.
 
I have very sad news to share. Elizabeth (@Colio ) let me know that Cole has passed.

He was deteriorating faster than expected and was sending signals that the time had come. She was able to help him have a gentle and compassionate transition at home where he was surrounded by love and peace.

Cole's family, (((Elizabeth, DH Mark, civvies Dax and Teddy))) would greatly appreciate words of comfort and condolence during this very difficult time. Elizabeth and Mark had Cole since he was a kitten and he was so, so loved and always will be.

Fly free, sweet boy and land softly. Watch over your family.:rb_icon:cat_wings>o
 
I am so sorry for your loss Elizabeth, Mark, Dax & Teddy. Wishing you the love and peace you gave Cole for all these years:bighug:. Fly free Cole :rb_icon:cat_wings>o.
 
I'm so so sorry Elizabeth :( Thankful that Cole was able to pass gently at home surrounded by love and comfort. Thinking of you and all of your family in this heartbreaking time. :bighug: Rest easy, sweet Cole :rb_icon:cat_wings>o
 
Elizabeth, Mark, Dax and Teddy - we are all embracing you in a huge virtual hug. :bighug::bighug: I am so sorry for the loss of your handsome boy. You have been the best of pet parents.

Tonight is a clear night - I will look for that new bright star twinkling high above us all. cat_wings>o
 
Hugs (((Elizabeth, Mark, Dax, & Teddy)))

I'm so sorry we met under these circumstances and yet so grateful all at the same time. You are the sweetest mama bean and were so caring for Cole. I'm sure he took a lot of comfort in being surrounded by his family as he crossed over :rb_icon:

Fly high sweet Cole cat_wings>o
 
I am so sorry for your loss Elizabeth. Cole has earned his wings today and will be deeply missed cat_wings>o

Fly free sweet Cole :rb_icon:

Elizabeth, you gave Cole that one final gift we never want to give. It’s an act of true love. You will be in my prayers as well as all of LLB as you mourn the loss. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

I hope that you find some small shred of comfort from this poem> I know in the past it has helped me.

Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of all its beautiful colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,
hills and valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who were sick, hurt or in pain are made whole again.
There is only one thing missing,
they are not with their special person who loved them so much on earth.
So each day they run and play until the day comes
when one suddenly stops playing and looks up!
The nose twitches! The ears are up!
The eyes are staring and this one runs from the group!
You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet,
you take him in your arms and hug him.
He licks and kisses your face again and again -
and you look once more into the eyes of your best friend and trusting
pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together never again to be apart.

Elizabeth isn't ready to post here herself, but wanted you all to know she is so very grateful to you: for all of the help that she and Cole received through their journey with FD, and for all of your support as she and her family continue to mourn him:

She asked me to share a few favourite photos of their beautiful Cole:
