Bug is flying with his red cardinals today. My little 6 year old diagnosed only 6 months ago, and we just couldn't get his condition under control. I had to make the most difficult decision of my life, thus far, and made the appt yesterday. He hadn't been eating for many many weeks, just nibbling and basically licking the juice/gravy. It didn't matter how low of a dose of ProZinc I shot (as low as .25u), he would still have a reaction every time. Without insulin, he was at least as close to normal as he could get, so I stopped his shots 4 days ago so he could enjoy the last days of his life catching his birds and his mice with as much energy as he could muster.

Buggie, I am going to miss your every morning "jump on the head and head butts" alarm clock, your running and greeting me at the door every day when I come home from work. And I am so, so very sorry that I let you down and failed to get you better. Fly free with your red cardinals that you loved so much but could never catch...say hello to the brothers you never had the chance to meet, Tie, Henry, Henry II, Pepperoni, and Thomas. They will show you around.

To everyone on the FDMB Board who educated me and gave me more support, information and cared more then my own vet, thank you so very much. I know some of you are probably shaking your heads that I gave up too soon, but having already spent thousands of dollars on 2 cats in the last 2 years, I couldn't afford all the tests my vet was wanting, and seeing Bug starving himself to death, was killing me as well. It doesn't mean I loved him any less, he was my best friend and will miss him dearly. Thank you all again, and good luck with all of your kitties.
 
I am so very sorry for your loss, and my heart aches for you. You made the decision you thought was best for Buggie, and noone has the right to judge you for that. You will both be in my thoughts.
 
Dearest Tamra,

I am so truly sorry for your great loss.







Sometimes the greatest gift of love is the hardest one to give. The hardest one for a heart to bear. Yet, you gave it. He's free from everything now and his love will endure forever and a day in your heart.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies, dear Tamra. May your heart mend gently and start remembering the wonderful memories of Buggie when it's ready. Hearts take time to mend. Memories will help. Love endures, sweet girl. You'll see...




















Fly free, precious Bug! Soar high on your handsome new wings! Visit your mommy's dreams to tell her you're okay now. Giz can show you how. Send us all a rainbow! Know how much you will always be loved!


Much love and countless gentle hugs for you, dear Tamra,
Deb and Nikki -- and, Giz, forever whispering in my heart....






I give you this one thought to keep:
I am with you still; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not think of me as gone --
I am with you still -- in each new dawn.

I am so sorry, Tamra. I know you loved him very much. Regarding your struggle to control his diabetes, it's also possible there was something else going on with his health since the FD was so hard to get under control. The not knowing, and trying to get them to eat, and watching them get worse even though you are trying to make them better... it is all so terrible.

Take care and again, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much this hurts.
 
Dear Tamra and sweet Bug,
You did your best. You deserve to be free of pain. Many hugs surround you and many furkisses, sweet boy. I'm so sorry, Tamra.

Tamra,

So sorry for your loss of Buggie. I see him playing with the cardinals he loved so much.

Please don't feel you failed him. You obviously loved him so much that you set him free from his pain.

May you find solace in your memories of your beloved Buggie.

Peace,

Claudia
 
Fly free dearest Buggie. wings_cat

Sometimes the strength of love means instead of holding tighter, we have to let go. Never be sorry that you experienced the strength of love. ((((((Tamra))))))
 
My heart is breaking and i cry for little Buggie.
Just doesn't seem fair does it?
But i see him now chasing the red cardinals;
and the butterflies and trying to catch them.
No more pain, just happy o:-)
 
Thank you all so very much for your kind words. Very comforting. Deb, your poem is now on my fridge next to his picture, beautiful. Very rough 2 days for sure. Back to work tomorrow, probably a good thing. Thank you again.
