I thank you all for your kind words and support. He was very ill and his kidneys had shut down and it was time. While I waited for my parents to come he looked up at me and I felt he was asking me to help him and let him go. The vet said she felt that I was doing the right thing and it was very peaceful. He was so ill that he never made a peep in the car, I was able to hold him in my arms and he never made a peep at the vets either. They would not let me be in the room with him, which was upsetting, but I sat with him and petting him and sang his "Oh Curly Boy" song to him and after it was over they brought him to me wrapped in some towels and let me just hold him and kiss him and say goodbye. I have been one that has refused to accept that there was nothing that a little insulin adjustment wouldn't fix, that we just needed to try different things, but something else was obviously going on. I am moving to Medford this weekend and maybe he sensed that moving to the other owners house would be too much for him and he chose his time. I just can't believe the ache inside of me right now. Everything I see reminds me of him. I'm sitting here with Ophelia and it feels so very empty in here, and not because all my things are packed. I hope he is chasing mice and feeling wonderful again where he is. Again, thank you all for all the help you have given me over the past 6 years and for the support this morning, it is greatly appreciated. God, I miss that sweet kitty boy.
 
I am sorry for your loss. It is a wonderful gift we can give our furbabies, this final gift of freedom from their earthly pains. I hope Curly lives in your heart and memory forever.
 
I am so very sorry Maggie

(((((Maggie))))) May you always feel Curly's love. Fly free, sweet Curly.

Very sad indeed! I know as much as it hurts that Curly is in a better place, free of pain, and he's thanking you right now for your gift of love. Take care in this time of hurting and healing.
 
So sorry for you loss, may your memories of him and his love for you stay in your heart always.

You gave your boy the greatest gift of love that we humans can give our furbabies. But the price we pay is taking their pain into our own hearts.

I'm sure he had a huge welcoming party at the Bridge.

Fly free Curly, and land softly in your momma's heart.

I am very sorry for your loss.

I'm upset that they would not let you be with him when he passed. I don't understand that.

May all your wonderful memories of Curly bring you comfort...

...'til you meet again.
 
I'm so very sorry.....it's so hard letting them go. Sending hugs and healing prayers.

Fly free sweet Curly......you heave earned your wings.
 
Like Karen I cant believe you wernt allowed to be with him in his passing. I know you loved him so. Gentle breezes LIL Curly Fly free and land softly
Peace,
jeanne
 
the biggest gift we can give our fur babies - thank you for having the strength it is an inspiration to all. Curly is at peace and chasing mice all over!
 
All vets are different... to me, it seems heartless not to let you be with him as he left to go ahead of you to perfect health and peace... Know that he'll be waiting there for his Mommy to come when the time is right. I know he heard his song.... Charlie always loved his Charlie Bear song. I didn't think to sing it to him as he left me....

Holding you close and knowing how lonely it is when that small furry being is not longer there.... God bless and keep .. Watch for him as I'm beginning to think this was his way of moving with you.... His spirit is with you.. always.
 
I wanted to add, I am sorry you weren't allowed to be there for the end. I've witnessed the end for several of my pets, and helped at least one friend while they had to go through the same thing. One thing that comes to mind is with one of mine, she was very sick, and the vet had to use a method that while it caused her no pain or suffering, and was not traumatic for her - was pretty darn traumatic for me. I choose to be there, the vet begged me to leave the room but I had promised her I would stay to the last second and I refused. I'm glad I kept my promise, but the vet was right to ask me to go. If your vet for some reason felt they needed to use the same method I can understand why they might not want you to see.

With Yittle it was a simple 2 injection process, one shot - he fell asleep. Another shot and it was over in less then a minute. With my other cat, because of her condition we ended up having to use intercardial injection - which is exactly what it sounds like - an injection straight into her heart to stop it. She was sedated of course and they made sure she was completely unconcious, she didn't suffer but I can honestly say I was never the same after witnessing it. When done correctly either method produces the same result - a peaceful end for the animal. But its not quite the same for the human. Your vet may have been trying to spare you some pain and trauma, just a thought...
 
Oh ((Maggie)) I am so very sorry about Curly's passing. I know how much your heart aches. Curly is chasing mice and having fun at the bridge I am sure.
