We beat diabetes and kicked it in the butt with the help of this group. I love you all for all the help and guidance. The sugar dance was so easy in comparison. Norman started being picky with his food . after many vet trips , allbhis blood labs spot on and chemistry panel perfect. No thyroid issues and no pancrease issues. Ran xrays and found tumors. Next I did ultrasound. Took him to Blue Pearl specialty vet hospital to an oncologist. My heart is beyond crushed. On October 25th I helped my lil orange tiger ( my red headed step child lol ) cross to rainbow bridge at home using a home setvice called lap of love. It was so peaceful for him and I , I was able to pet him and whisper words of love to him. My heart went with him. My heart is so broken. All 3 of his doctors praised me for making the decision seeing he had two kinds of cancer . omg it was the hardest decision ever yet knew I did not want to risk an obstruction etc and have to take him to emergency vet under such duress. I knew in my heart that the following days he was not going to feel better. I pray I pray i did the right thing. I owe all of you so many thank you because with this group my boy had 3 years after being diagnosed diabetic. All these years his labs had been perfect that all the vets said none of his organs ever suffered from being diabetic. That tight regulation lol. He had been in remission since march 2017. I miss him so much and all his talking. My heart is forever broken beyond repair. Again thank you all for all your help. R.I.P. Norman. 8/13/2005 to 10/25/2017.
 
Oh Cindy , I am so very sorry that it was time for Norman to leave you. Never a good time and I hope you have comfort knowing that he isn't suffering.

Fly high , Norman and land softly.
 
Dear (((Cindy))), I'm sure that Norman is still talking to you. Listen carefully and you'll hear him thanking you for all those good years and for listening to him when it was his time to leave. At the Bridge he is with all of our GAs and is "in good paws" until that wonderful day when you will meet again.
Fly Free, sweet Norman! You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,
Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)
 
(((Cindy))) I am so very, very sorry for your heartbreak over losing your sweet Norman. It is such a hard decision to make but so much better to make it before you have to make a made dash to the ER in a crisis. I am sure Norman will forever be grateful that you were able to help him transition at home with those he loved best with his mama’s voice in his ears helping to ease his way.

May you know peace that you gave him this gift of love. Fly free sweet Norman.
 
Cindy - Be at peace, no pet parent could have loved so much. Hold the many memories close to your heart. My heart goes out to you. You are a very special person to have cared for and loved your precious Norman. Time Heals, Hugs, Kathe
 
(((Cindy))) I am so sorry it was Norman's time to leave. My heart hurts for you. That last gift of love is always the most painful to give. I hope all your wonderful memories will help your heart to heal. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Fly free, sweet Norman, and land softly at the Bridgecat_wings>o

I am so saddened to learn that Norman has crossed the bridge. I hope you find peace in the knowledge that you did everything possible for him, and that when he was ready, you put his needs before your own and set him free. It is the ultimate gift we can give our furbabies, and the one that costs us the most. Remember that he won't be far away - he'll be watching over you from the Bridge until you meet again. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Fly free, sweet Norman, and land softly. :rb_icon:

I am so sorry that Norman has crossed the Bridge. Your final act of love spared Norman from more suffering and released him from his sick, tired body. Your love and care in beating FD gave Norman much more time to spend with you. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

There are many of us who have been in your shoes. We work to manage the FD. Something else goes awry and we do our best to manage whatever that illness is until our kitty tells us what s/he already knows -- it's time. Despite the heartbreak, you had the wisdom to listen to Norman and the generosity to do what was the kindest act possible. Norman joined our kitty's at the Bridge with peace and dignity.

Fly free Norman. Many of our kitties are there to greet him and keep him safe until you are reunited.

I’m so sorry it was Norman’s time. A wise vet told me once I made tge right decision at the right time. I hope you can take a little comfort in knowing that you did too. :bighug:
 
Prayers for your grieving heart. Try to hear him with your heart because he's still right there, and he's waiting until you get to be together again.
Fly Free Norman.

You did it so right! You thought only of Norman, not at all what you needed, but only what he needed. You were so strong for him. He will never leave you, not really. Hugs and tears joined with yours.:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::rb_icon:
