    If you have some vines and prayers you can spare, I'd appreciate them for my civvie, Minka. She seems to be going downhill fast today. I'm going to try to get her seen at UCD tomorrow, but if they can't fit her in, I'll take her to our regular vet. I'm dreading it, because I'm pretty sure they're going to tell me it's time.

    Please send us strength and courage vines, too. We've never had to help one of our babies cross before, and DH is especially close to Minka. I just pray I'll be able to make the right decision when the time comes. Thanks in advance.

    (((Tricia, Mark))) Truckloads of vines. I hope you can get into UCD. These are for you: :bighug::bighug::bighug: I know you'll do the right thing with your baby. You have so far. Just listen hard to Minka and she'll tell you what to do.

    Sending all the vines, prayers, white healing light and snowflakes to your dear Minka

    Hoping that they have something promising to offer you and your DH, but know that if it's time, you'll both make the hardest decision and let her go

    Many hugs :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

    Thank you all for the vines, prayers, hugs and just for being there. :bighug: We went to bowling, although I really didn't want to leave her. She was the same when we got home - she's drinking a lot of water, mostly lying by one of the water fountains. She has to stop and rest when she tries to walk across the room. She didn't touch the food I left for her (but she hasn't been eating on her own for a couple of days, even cheese no longer appeals). This has all come about in the past 24 hours - she was okay yesterday, although she has been slowing down over the past few weeks. This is a fairly significant difference. It's going to be hard to convince Mark if the doctors agree with me - I know he's still hoping for a miracle - but I'm not going to do to her what I did to Nemi and Kisa. If it's her time, then she's going to be free, although it's the hardest thing I've ever done. I'll post tomorrow and let you know how things are.

    The boys are being my steady eddies, although I think Harvey needs a dosecrease. Unless he pulls a green rabbit out of his hat, we'll increase tomorrow night (Mark's working in Sac tomorrow and I'll be gone a portion of the day for Sasha's PT and possibly an appt. for Minka). Cinco has made some cameos in the lagoon lately, so I'm not messing with his dose right now. Maybe when things settle down a little we'll look at that. He is still peeing on the pee pads about 75% of the time, but he does make it all the way into the lb to poop (most of the time) and sometimes to pee.

    Sasha is actually a tiny bit better - she's sitting up a couple of times a day, usually when she sees me coming with food, and she's still making it all the way into the lb to poop (although she does it lying on her face, unless I see her and hold her up :(). Not, however to pee, but she's been getting it mostly on the side of the box and the pee pads. I need to restock those tomorrow. I think the Adequan and/or the increased Pred is helping. Whatever, as long as she's not worse. I'll know more tomorrow after her PT evaluation.

    Once again, thank you all - I honestly don't think I could survive this without the understanding and support of the people here. I love you all. :bighug:

    (((Tricia and Mark))) I have no words of comfort fitting enough. All I can offer is what two vets said to me when I had to make this awful decision. One said leave no stone unturned. Do everything possible. You did that. The other told me that I did the right thing at the right time. So are you although I know first hand how painful that is. You did this with love. Minka knows that. Hugs and prayers for a peaceful crossing. I'm with you in spirit.

    I wish I had some words that would bring you comfort, but I know there are none. Minka has had the best beans ever and I know she appreciates that you loved her enough to let her go with dignity

    Dear ((((Tricia and Mark)))), Cinco, Harvey, and Sasha,

    Our thoughts are with you tonight. Minka has begun her new adventure. She's flying free on her beautiful new golden wings. We know how much you will miss her. You did all that you could to give her a happy life.

    Send your family a sign that you are safe at the Bridge, dear Minka. Many friends are welcoming you tonight. Fly free, you are much loved.

    In deepest sympathy,

    Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)

    Thank you all so much. Minka passed peacefully in her beloved daddybean's arms. I was holding her hand. She went downhill very quickly, over about 36-48 hours, so there was no prolonged suffering. We're pretty sure that, if we hadn't helped her cross, she would have gone herself by tonight, so it was absolutely the right choice. The people at UCD were AMAZING. Several were in or close to tears. I am totally devastated. I will try to post a new condo tomorrow to update on my sugar boys and share the results of Sasha's PT evaluation - I went straight there after saying goodbye to Minka, and I think it was a good choice - got me focused on something else so I could drive home safely.

    In memory of our beautiful little Siberian, Minka Sevastianova, 2/22/99-1/19/16

    (((Tricia and Mark))) you absolutely made the right decision to set Minka free from her failing little body, the final act of complete love :bighug:. She will be happy and whole again as she starts her new adventure at the Bridge. Fly free sweet Minka and land softly. cat_wings>o

    Healing prayers for you both to help mend your broken hearts :bighug::bighug::bighug:

    With deepest sympathy

    Norse Legend of the Rainbow Bridge

    Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

    When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

    All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

    The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

    They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

    You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

    Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

    Minka looks so much like Gizmo. I hope she and Gabby find each other and become fast friends. Fly free, Minka and land softly. You will be missed by many.

    lovely, beautiful girl. So very sorry she had to leave. As others have said, no words really help, but your love carried her right to the bridge and set her safely down among all the others who will now take up her care. Many hugs and prayers to you and our family. RIP sweet Minka.:rb_icon::bighug::bighug::bighug:

    I'm so sorry. What a beautiful little kitty she was. But more important, she was a family member and I know how much you will miss her.
