Lindy is gone

Joy wrote:
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.

So sorry to hear this. Purrs for your breaking heart.

My heart goes out to you-- I had to do this relatively recently, as you
know. Dante is sending you his extra-strength heavy-duty purrs, and we are
sending you comforting thoughts.

Poor Lindy, I'm sorry she felt so terrible. I'm glad she finally was able
to lie down and purr at the very end. It's a painful but very loving thing
for you to do for her. Purrs for you at this sad time.

To say, I am sorry, seems so lame but I truly am. Her trip to the Bridge
was peaceful as you were there with her every step of the way. Purrs and
Prayers for you.

I am so sorry to hear of this Joy. I feel so bad for you. You did the
kindest thing for Lindy, but the hardest thing for you. Bless your heart.

I am so sorry Joy. We'll light a candle for her journey.

She started purring because she knew you were going to send her where
she would know no pain or vomiting. She loves you and, if she can, she
will wait for you. You may well know her persence again.

Our thoughts are with you

Thank you, Will. Yes, the purring confirmed that I was doing the right
thing.
