Very early this morning (1 AM) I took Gus to the ER vet in the next town over. His vomitting had subsided but he had begun to yowl in pain when moving his bowels. They were liquid, orange, and smelled metallic. I woke my husband and told him that I needed to do this myself and asked him to please understand. I lifted Gus up to wrap him in a warm towel for the ride and blood began to come out of his rectum. He didn't even acknowledge anything about what was happening. I knew then that this was the time for good byes. There is nothing that I can write here that could come close to describing how I feel. I am a crying, heartbroken mess. I can't believe how fast he went from doing so well Friday afternoon....to this. His struggle with pain is over. Gus and I had this past year together because of the selfless and loving guidance from all of you here at FDMB. You gave us the gift of time and that is priceless. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and the flutter of his wings. You are in my prayers of thanksgiving always.
 
Oh (((Bev))) my heart is breaking for you. I have only known of sweet Gus for a short while, but he stole my heart. Fly free Gus, land softly.
 
Fly free, sweet Gus. Your Momma loved you so much she took away your pain and made it hers instead. What a lucky cat you were to know that kind of love. She will miss you, and you will miss her, 'til you meet again.
 
(((((BEV))))) I am so so sorry to hear this!! My heart is also breaking for you as I know the pain!!
Know in your heart that you did every single thing possible for Gus and he knew that too...
Wish I could give you a comforting Hug right now, so we will all light a candle tonite to light the way for Gus to Rainbow Bridge--So sorry!!
 
I am so sorry. :sad: My heart hurts for your loss. (((((((Bev and DH)))))))
I will light a candle for Gus tonight.

Oh Bev, words can not express how very sorry I am. Gus is now pain free and playing with all the GA kitties. I know your heart is breaking, and LL is weeping with you. ((((Bev))))

Fly free sweet sweet Gus. Your mama bean loves you so. We will light a candle to help Gus find his way.
 
Bev I am so very sorry. This just break my heart. It is so heartbreaking when they go so fast. It was the same with my BJ when we lost her this past December. I hope that the wonderful memories that you have of Gus will comfort you. You have given him the best possible gift ever: time, love, and now freedom from pain and suffering. Gus touched all our hearts, he will never be forgotten. Fly free little one on you golden wings. Land softly at the bridge. We will miss you.

Oh Bev, I've only known about Gus for the last week or so, and my heart is breaking for you. I know the pain so well, after 4 of my cats and one dog have gone. I'm so sorry, I wish I could take some of your pain away, but I know we can't do that for each other, even though we would. I know Gus will meet up with my gang, Cindy, Mandy, Carly, Ginger,and Peppy. They will take good care of him. rb_icon

I'll say a prayer for your little Gus baby.
 
Oh Bev, as soon as I saw the candle I started to bawl. I am sharing in your pain and heartache. Be at peace sweet Gus.

Sending you love and hugs. And lighting a candle for Gus.

Words are completely insufficient. I had missed your posts about Gus and was so glad to see you had come back to tell us about Gus. And now...I just don't know what I can say to help make your heart less heavy. There are tears here for your loss but also happiness -- you had Gus as part of your life even if that time was shorter than any of would want it to be. Without that joy in having Gus as part of your life, there would not be this sadness.

Fly free Gus and land softly. There are many who we most dearly love who will be there to greet you and to share in new adventures at the Bridge until the one that loves you most reunites with you.
 
Bev, I'm so sorry. Gus was a well loved kitty and that love still surrounds him. I wish for gentle easing of your pain as time goes on and you can remember your sweet boy with smiles instead of tears. But grieve strongly now, it is best for you. ((((((((Bev)))))))))) We do understand.

Oh no! Not dear sweet Guster...
Bev, my heart breaks for you, my friend...I can hardly see for the tears.

Land softly, beautiful boy...you were dearly loved and will be sorely missed.

We're all lighting candles to help light the way for Gus.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo. :sad:

I'm so, so, sorry. You gave Gus a fantastic life, and he let you know he was ready to go. I know you must feel so empty right now.

Fly free, sweet Gus. wings_cat
 
Oh (((Bev))). I am so sorry to hear this. :cry: Fly free Gus, you were loved and you are dearly missed! wings_cat

LL grieves with you. :sad:
 
Bev-

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Gus is a very special angel now. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

We are oh so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Gus. He is safely on his way to a wonderful place where all our gone ahead family will welcome him and shower him with love.
 
I am so very sorry for your sudden loss. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Fly free, Gus, and let your Mom know that you are looking out for her.
 
((((Bev)))), I am so sorry to hear about your sweet, precious Gus. You took such great care of him. I know your heart is breaking right now, but I hope that it comforts you to know that he is free from pain and will always be with you in your heart. Fly free, sweet Gus!
 
Bev, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Gus... I wouldn't wish the pain you are feeling on anyone. I don't know what else to say. I am just so sorry.
 
(((Bev))): I'm not sure I can write this for the tears for you and because you and Gus have been and always will be a huge part of our LL family. You took the best care of him...you have been amazing...he was so lucky. He will always be with you and he will know the greatest love you have for him.....you set him free from his pain. It is the hardest thing about our kitties that they are able to hide illness until it is too late for us to help them.

We will light a candle to guide Gus. We will keep you in our hearts and prayers.

So very sorry to hear about your loss. Even though we are new here, it's obvious how much of a bond you and Gus had and how grateful he was to have you taking care of him. Know that you did the right thing and that he will be FOREVER grateful and waiting happily for you at the bridge. {{{{hugs}}}}

Oh Bev,
My heart sank to read this. NOT Gus! I can only imagine your heartache. During times like these I always wish I had something special to say to make this time easier. I'm afraid I only have the warmest of hugs and thoughts for you. You and Gus will always be such a special team - such a special kitty and such a loving mom! He will always hold a special place in my heart!

Sending you much love right now!

((((Bev)))) I'm completely heartbroken to read this. Gus felt like a part of my family and I'm going to miss hearing about his day and seeing the picture of his sweet half-mustachioed face. He, Champ, and Punkin were the three amigos. We all joined right around the same time and "grew up" here together. I couldn't be any more upset if he were my very own. I know you gave him such a wonderful life. You loved him so much and so well and he knew that!! You did everything you could to make his life the best possible and you did an outstanding job. Please keep in touch. You'll always be in my heart and part of my family.
 
Oh Bev....

I don't know what to say....I'm just so sorry. :cry:
There are no words that can make it any easier....I've been there, like many of us have, and it's so hard.
Gus was lucky to have you, you persevered through so much to help him. Please keep in touch....I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

Fly free sweet Gus. wings_cat
 
Dear (((((Bev))))),
My heart fell when I saw Gus's candle tonight. I am so very sorry for your loss. You gave Gus a wonderful life and he will always be with you, safe in your heart until you meet again. We will light our candle tonight to guide him on his way.

Fly free, dear sweet Gus, on your beautiful new wings, and land softly. You have many friends who are welcoming you at the Bridge. You are a wonderful kitty and you are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella & Edward and Rusty and Stu (GA)
 
((((((((((Bev))))))))))

I wish I had some magic words that would take away the pain. I know we all wish that. All I have are tears for you and your DH and for all of us who have lost our precious friends. We will light a candle to help guide his way.

Fly free and land softly Angel Gus wings_cat
 
I have been watching your posts on Gus lately feeling and feeling horrible because I was unable to help. I was so pleased to see he seemed to be doing better but now he has gone. Know that your beautiful little Gus touched the hearts of even those that you didn't know existed. I am crying for you now, not for Gus because he is free of his pain but for the pain you are left to carry. I hope it's not too long before you can remember all the joy he gave you through your tears. You loved him so much and you gave him the greatest gift by letting him go. (((Bev)))

I'm so sorry that you and Gus had to part ways so soon. Know that he was loved very much and is in no more pain. My heart is breaking with yours.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Fly Free Sweet Gus. wings_cat
 
(((Bev))), I am so sorry to hear about Gus's passing. What a beautiful kittie, and you are such a wonderful mom. Fly free sweet baby.

Pattie
 
(((((((Bev))))))))) I am so sorry. My heart is so sad. Gus has his wings and will be with you in spirit always. Watch for signs that he is telling you he is okay. Keep your heart open to seeing them.

I believe with all my heart and soul our furbabies were meant to be ours. Gus was loved tremendously and takes that love with him.

I will light a candle today and tonight for him. I wish I could give you a real hug.
 
((((Bev)))) I am so sorry for your loss of Gus. He is running free at the rainbow bridge without pain. Peace and comfort to you. I hope in time your fond memories will ease your pain.

Fly Free Gus! wings_cat
 
(((Bev))), I my so sorry to hear the news of your losing Gus. I can't begin to understand how you must be feeling right now. Please know we are thinking about you and sending you warm, loving thoughts at this sad time.
