Yesterday

An OK day for Trix. Ultimately, I may need to fatten up her dose, but for right now I appreciate that she is giving me decent numbers that I don't have to worry and fret about. I'll think further about a dosecrease in the next few days.

This morning was almost harder than yesterday, because it was the first time I had to go through "the routine" without my sweet Mario. I know that over time I will get used to this "new normal", but - as I'm sure you all know - as of now, it doesn't feel like that that will ever happen.

I cannot thank all the kind and generous souls of LL for your support over these past few days. It means the world to us. This is truly an amazing place filled with utterly amazing people. Much love to each and every one of you.

Amy

((((Amy)))) I imagine it will eventually become the new normal, but, for now, I know you feel lost and like a piece of you is missing. Mario was a sweet kitty that loved you very much, as you did him. Please know that I am thinking about you and reaching out through the puter to give you a big hug my friend.

(((Amy))) I'm so glad Trix is giving you nice, safe numbers so as you won't worry about her. I'm thinking about you, too, and know the big hole they leave in our hearts. Look for little signs of Mario today. Lots of hugs for you and scritches to Trixie and civvies.

(((Amy))) it is so hard to start, those first couple days, but it will get a little easier and hopefully it will add a new facet to your relationship with Trixie, at least it did for me when I lost my Josie. Molly started to snuggle more, or differently it seemed, and she changed a little bit for the better I think. It helped that she was there for me even though things seemed topsy-turny for a while. Anyway, I'm glad Trixie is giving you a break on the numbers. I am sending lots of hugs and love Amy.

I'm sure Trixie knows that the routine is "off." Our kitties are also creatures of routine.

One of the things that helped me when my George left for the Bridge was to have a memento. Friends had given me a beautiful framed photo of him. It's in a place that's obvious to no one but me. I see that photo any number of times each day and it always makes me smile.

The rest of the kitties definitely now something is different, and they are doing their part to help...eating well, snuggling, not fighting with eachother. They're such smart creatures.

I have Mario's favorite "childhood" toy on my nightstand. I never let the other kitties play with when we adopted them, because for whatever reason, Mario decided this one particular toy was THE best. It had special meaning to him, so I always made sure it stayed safe.

I'm glad you all have each other to work through this tough time. More kitty snuggles, please! Good numbers for Trixie - not too high, not too low - easy breezy for a bit ~O) ~O)
 
Re: 12/27 Trixie AMPS 188 +3 160

(((Amy))), I thought of you, the minute I woke this morning. The first few days, of the changed routine are so hard.
The other kitties also have to get used to the change. Checks looked for his sister, for days. I lost her the day after Christmas also. I have her favorite stuffie mouse, that no one is allowed to play with, too.
I wish you tons of sweet memories of Mario.
If you want to tell stories about him, we'd love to hear them. :smile:

Trixie is starting out with such pretty blue numbers :-D
 
Re: 12/27 Trixie AMPS 188 +3 160

Morning Amy, was thinking about you and hoping you were doing ok. It will definetly take time to heal your heart. So sorry again that you lost your baby. That is a great thing that you have his toy to remind you of him. I am sure the kitties know something is off and glad they are snuggly and loving. Nice to see blues this morning. Hope you have a good day. Hugs!
 
Re: 12/27 Trixie AMPS 188 +3 160

Hi (((Amy))),
Routines are what keep us (and our kitties) going, and you will find a way to work Mario's memory into your new routine. His special toy will surely bring you many smiles as you go through your day.
It is wonderful that Trixie and your other kitties are working hard to help you and each other. Cats are so in-tune.

Thinking of you today,

Ella & Rusty

Having Mario's childhood favorite toy on your bedstand sounds wonderful and a perfect reminder. I hope it always gives you comfort when you see it.

Amy, i am so sorry to hear about Mario. the others are missing him too and grieving/ comforting you and each other. Mario is released for all his pains , think of him purring on his pillow as he watches you from the Bridge.
 
Trix is having herself a lovely surf today.

We're going to my parents' for "Christmas" this evening...just a simple meal. I think we'll bring the presents back home, though, rather than opening them there. I'm not really up for "celebrating", and I think opening them there may just be too overwhelming. We'll play it by ear, though...
 
Amy, I have been thinking about you today. I know today must be a such an emotional day, not having your boy with you and having to go through a new normal "routine". I know our kitties definitely can sense when things are different and I also think they grieve in their own way. Trixie is definitely letting you relax a little with her nice numbers today. I hope you have a relaxed, quiet evening with your family.

Big, big hugs!
 
Hi Amy,
I hope you had a lovely Christmas dinner with your family. I bet sweet Mario was there with you. I know all of you will comfort each other and Mario will be close by always.
many hugs and much love to you all
mary and oliver
 
Blessings to you, Amy and your family (two and four-legged) and especially your sweet Mario's soul. It looks like Trixie is behaving herself and giving you non-drama numbers so that you don't have to worry about her right now. I hope you were able to enjoy your family dinner tonight, but I certainly understand the need to just come home and be with your babies. ((Hugs)) to you and **scritches** to your fur babies.
