Sad news about my OTJ Pixie...RIP Pix.

[pixiesmom]

He has been sick for about a week now. Got bad over the past couple of days. Diarrhea, blood, vomiting.
Posted about it a bit in the health section.

His white count was high again and what was once suspected is what we did not want to hear.
It was cancer.
We went through the options and even considered measures to buy him some time, but it would be at a
loss of quality of life for Pix as he was never able to tolerate meds well. I would have made that decision for myself to feel
better...not Pixie.
We made the heart wrenching decision to let him go peacefully.
I once felt so successful being able to get him OTJ and today I pretty much feel like a failure.

There's not much more I can say right now. I am truly heartbroken.
Thank you all for helping us through the past few months.

(((((Laurie))))) I am so sorry to read this news of Pixie. It is so hard to lose one of our babies. You did a fantastic job of caring for Pixie for his entire life, besides just getting him OTJ. He was a very lucky kitty to have you for his bean and you were lucky to be his bean.

I am so very sorry about Pixie. You are absolutely NOT a failure. You are a truly loving and amazing bean...you got Pixie OTJ, and you made the most compassionate yet most difficult decision we beans ever face. Pixie knows how much you love him, now and always. Our prayers are with you.

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

I'm so sorry to hear about Pixie. You are not a failure, it sucks, but cancer happens. You are such a good bean to put Pixie's quality of life first.

Fly Free, Sweet Pixie! Send your bean a sign that you are happy and whole again, waiting for her at the Bridge.

I'm so sorry .. Please do not ever think you are a failure to Pixie .. I know Pixie was never disappointed in what you did for him, and to let him go when he was in pain was the greatest act of love you could show him .. Fly Free Pixie ..

(((((Lauri))))

I am so sorry. I suspect Pixie gaining his wings is so much harder given how happy you were when he went OTJ. No matter how much time -- or how little -- we have with our kitties it is never enough. The decision you made to spare Pixie what would be a less than good quality of life is a courageous choice and one make based on what was you know was right. You let your heart guide you. That is ultimately the best thing any of us can possibly do.

Fly free Pixie and land softly. There are so many kitties who have left paw prints on our hearts who will be at the Bridge to keep you safe until you are reunited with the ones you love best.

Lauri,
I'm SO SO sorry it was Pixie's time to cross....BIG HUGE LOOOOOOONG HUG. They leave such a huge hole in our hearts. Prayers for comfort and healing for you. Remember, he's not gone, you just have to hug him differently.

Another big loooooong hug,

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Dear ((((Lauri)))),
Pixie will always be with you, in that corner of your heart that belongs only to him. We are so very sorry that it was his time. You spared him much pain and loss of quality of life by helping him pass peacefully. Our many GAs at the Bridge are welcoming him with love and fellowship, and he will watch over you until you meet again. Fly free, sweet Pixie! You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)

I'm so sorry. You did not fail. You took away the starvation part by getting him otj.
He had much better days because of you.
He knows how much you loved him.
Fly Free Pixie.

((((Lauri))))

So sorry to hear of Pixie's crossing over. Any time any of us loses one, we all feel it and wish there was some way we could help ease the pain you're feeling.

Of course you didn't fail...By getting him controlled and then OTJ, you gave Pixie time to be healthy, time to play, time to eat yummy food, time to feel more love (as well as share his), and when his body failed, you gave him the best gift of all...a peaceful release.

When you're up to it, there's a fable titled The Loving Ones you should read. I hope you enjoy it.

Fly Free sweet Pixie, and land softly. Send your mamabean a sign to let her know you're fine and watching over her wings_cat

Not only are you NOT a failure, you are a success story! Getting Pix OTJ is a true testament to your high level of commitment, care and love for Pix. Sometimes, our furry angels are just ready to go no matter what we do. But Pix will always live in your heart. May you find comfort in knowing that Pix is at peace now.
Blessings to you and your family...
