Thank yoiu ALL for your kind, sweet, words understanding, hope and recovery.  I asked for help and you all did just that.  I was helped by each individual story I read.  I pray for you too.  It really helped me so much to read the postings. 

I promise to seek help if time does not put my heart in a less painful place. I promise to seek help if my body should suffer.

I at 63 years old know how much my life has been just about perfect, sheltered and protected.  I even have my mom healthy at 92 years of age. I do realize my blessings.  I count my QVC family as one of them......Thank you.God Bless everyone of you and your pets.  I do believe we are SPECIAL people.

My heart can't take it.  I'm greving with you.  The loss of a pet is too hard a burden on the heart.   May God's love comfort you and keep you whole through your mourning.   Heart

Blessings for you and your much loved friend.

 

Their Love is so wonderful and unconditional, losing them is such a deep pain.

 

Don’t push yourself, grief must run it’s course.  Remember he lives in your heart forever.

 

With all my heart I believe you will be together again.

@Drythe I am so sorry Spike was not able to overcome.I do believe that he will visit you here on earth one more time.You need to be open to the signs.

My little girl had a bad hip and made an awkward thumping sound on our stairs when she came down.She also panted a lot .One night I fell asleep on the couch as I have done in the past.I heard her come thumping down the stairs and then she was panting in my ear.I leaned over and felt the warmth of her body in my arms and said her name..but...she wasn’t there.I had been so sad up to that point that I couldn’t talk about her or even breathe.I felt that she wanted to console me.

I hope that you are doing as well as can be expected and that spike comes to let you know that he is okay.

@dex  I can so relate to this story.  When I lost one of my beloved cats, so special he was, for two weeks afterward, I could feel his little body next to mine and his head on my pillow, and I know he was trying to comfort me.  I can't talk about him without choking up, and he passed in 1990.

Thank you so much for your very kind, thoughtful note.  My baby Spike is still with me.  He is still fighting, not in pain, just very tired.  I see the exhaustion in his eyes, but he is still snuggling his brother & me, drinking a bit of water, and chicken broth.  We are also giving him sub cutaneous ringers, IM pain meds, and oral antibiotic.  While very shaken, and worried we are going to keep up hope until he says he doesn’t want to do this anymore.

 

Please know, he is not suffering, I would never allow that, just weak and My big, huge, funny, loving boy is so frail.  💦

Please don’t even think about it.  I’m just so grateful that he’s still here.

 

I feel so blessed by all the outpouring of concern for him, I should have written an update already, and feel badly that I have not.  But, his surgery was only Thurs. afternoon and he in just a bit better.  In the face of all the kindness I feel like a slug.

 

Please know that I feel for your loss.  No matter how long ago, the pain stays, it just somehow becomes bearable.

 

Best Wishes to you.
