Lindy is gone

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.

What a courageous, selfless, loving gift you gave your Lindy. The last
thing you could do for her was the best thing you could do for her and the
worst thing you could do for yourself. You have taken her pain and made it
yours.

I am very sorry for your loss,
Karla

I remember well the day that I went out to your place and met you,
Lindy and Skeeter. Lindy was so such a sweet cat.

My heartfelt condolences.
Gennie with =^..^= Marietta

Thank you, Gennie and Marietta. Yes, I remember that day too.

I always enjoy the lovely Christmas cards you send, but I can never send one
back because you don't include a return address.

I'm so so sorry, Joy.

May you find some small consolation in the fact that Lindy is no longer in
pain; you did the right thing.

Yowie

Thank you, Yowie. Yes, that is some consolation, as I'm sure you know.

Thank you, Karla. It really helps to know that so many people really
understand.

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.

We will light a candle for Lindy's safe journey to the RB. Condolences to
you and yours.

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.

Joy

Thank you Lily and mama
