I'm so sorry.
Lots of hugs,

I'm so sorry. I posted earlier but it seems to have gotten lost.
Having just been through it myself I know how hard it is. But you did
the right thing.

Thank you, Alison. I reciprocate your sympathy and your reassurance.

Lindy woke me up this morning, vomiting on the bed. *It looked like clear
fluid and blood. *There wasn't a lot, but I called the vet after they
opened. *They said to bring her in, along with her food and medicine. *I
also took a couple of pictures of the places where she had vomited, with a
ruler so the vet could see how much there was. *The vet later said the
pictures were very helpful.

They had me leave her. *The vet called about half an hour later. *She said
Lindy's gums were pink and she was dehydrated. *She said the bleeding was
probably caused by ulceration of the stomach, which could be the result of
either the Prednisone or the cancer. *She said, "If we are going to continue
..." we'd need blood tests, x-rays, infusion, shots and more oral
medication. *She gave me some time to think about it, but I realized there
was only one thing to do.

I called the vet and said I wanted to come and say goodbye to her. *When I
got there, I took care of the financial part. *Then they brought her out in
the waiting room, and I held her for a few minutes, but she was trembling,
so I said let's get it over with. *They took her, put in a shunt and brought
her back. *I sat in the examining room holding her, and she kept crying, so
I told them to come finish. *They had put a towel on the counter where the
animals are treated. *I set her down on the towel, and she started purring.
When the vet and the tech came back, she kept on purring as the sedative was
injected. *Then she laid down. *I think she was asleep as the vet injected
the rest.

I'm very sorry, she was loved greatly.

I'm very sad to hear that Lindy has finally went. Most everything
else about being enslaved is wonderful. This is really the only bad
part.

Thank you. Yes that's true.

My philosophy is that whenever you allow yourself to love, you are opening
yourself up to be hurt. But without love, there isn't much point to life.
It's the price we pay.

You know, when I lost my sick but beloved kitty, I've since felt as
though I've developed a split personality. There's the smile I show
to the world, and then there's the sadness I dwell on inside. That
inner self really feels your loss.

Thank you, I hope we both heal with time, although there will always be
some sadness, of course.
