Mowgli and Keri
Member Since 2010
It is with a heavy heart that I write that My Sweet Baby Mowgli crossed the rainbow bridge Monday morning November, 26,2012.
He was a mere 12 years 8months old.
Diabetes, was something I think that made our bond even stronger than it was before.. Who would have thought when he first got Diabetes that he would learn, that when I shake the strip container it was time to go to his pokey spot so that we could test his BG. And then once his BG was done he could trot down the hall and get his chicken treat! :smile: And having this forum made everything that much easier with helping him to the falls... When he was first DX with FD I was scared and worried but the Lantus family stepped up and showed me how "easy" it could be to live with Diabetes.
Mowgli was just shy of his two year OTJ anniversary and he was doing so well and we were food regulating perfectly. Unfortunately cancer was not something we could conquer.. His cancer DX gave him 2 months, well he showed them 2months and 16 days! He was such a strong kitty! But OSCC of the tongue was something that we just couldn't beat...
I miss my sweet beautiful boy, even with my other two kitties and my pug in the house, the house feels empty... He was my baby, my gently giant, my jet engine purr kitty, my big kahunna my fuzzy baby blanket, my on the button alarm clock...He was the first to welcome Yogi my pug with open paws this summer, they became buddies and cuddled together and cleaned the floor together this after never before having a dog in the house..
If I was ever sad, or stressed or in need of comfort Mowgli was there to comfort me. I held him in my arms at home while the procedure was done, and when the purr stopped, i feel like so much stopped. I hope that I was there to comfort him when it was time for him to go... I know it is for the best, he is happy and healthy on the otherside...~sigh~ the hardest gift to give...
I suspect he is hanging out with Rocket (claudias boy) as we made sure they knew about each other saw pictures of each other and Claudia was sweet enough to ask Rocket to wait for Mowgli and introduce him to some of our other GA kitties....
I know we haven't been around much the last couple years, and I am sorry to all those that have had their kitties GA.... I just wanted to post for some of those that knew of Mowgli and me, and for the newbies to know that Diabetes, isn't that scary and can create a close bond....
I have attached some pics of my boy... And the video that CD was kind enough to do when Mowgli went to the falls...I especially love the part that says "i'll be your angel" cause he is....
I love you Mowgli and my heartaches missing your amazingness and all that you brought me, but is comforted that you fly free
Scully, Lily, Yogi, miss you too
