    Yesterday

    Not up to a normal condo today. Cinco's breathing was very labored this morning and his back legs very weak. It was very obvious that the time had come, so I called UCD and made arrangements with the on-call resident, Dr. Garnett, to take him in. He was alert but obviously uncomfortable. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I promised him I wouldn't let him suffer, and I had to keep that promise. I'll do a tribute to him when I can think straight.

    Fly free, my dear sweet Cinco baby. You taught us so much in your brief time in our home and hearts. :rb_icon:

    Tricia, I am so sorry for your loss. :bighug::bighug: You made a very kind and loving decision to let him go... He is young again now and running around with everyone that we have loved and lost.

    I just read his story for the first time and I am sitting in front of my computer, sobbing. He is a very lucky boy that he wondered into your yard many years ago. And you are a wonderful person for giving him the best years of his life.

    (((Tricia and Mark))) how bright his star will shine for all the love, compassion, and care you gave him while he walked this earth. I do believe we will see our babies again and one day your arms will be full with Cinco, Sasha, Minka, and Kisa as you nuzzle their fur again and feel the warmth of their love. My heart and prayers are with you. image.png

    I'm so very sorry it was Cinco's time. He was such a fighter and so connected to you and Mark. I know how hard it must have been and yet I knew he would make you decide the time. You know you did everything possible and he had a great QOL until this morning. Love. Prayers through my tears. Wish I could do more. :bighug::bighug::bighug: Sweet Cinco is free.cat_wings>o

I'm so glad you found one another to love, he did indeed pick the right house. You were wonderful beans, and you did the hardest thing a good bean can do. I know his sisters Minka and Sasha (and his friend Chyna) met him at the bridge to show him around with the other GA kitties. My heart and prayers are with you both...

    Fly free, sweet Cinco:rb_icon:. You will be missed much. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

He could not ask for any more than what you gave him, including that hardest gift of all you give today. I hope he sends you a sign soon, that he is back whole at the Brridge.

    Fly free baby boy. Too many of your own kitty family are waiting for you and many of your adopted FD family are there to acknowledge your brave fight. It's time now to stop fighting the battle no one can win. Your beans were as brave as you and listened with their hearts to your message. Play with your friends who await your sweet company and know you'll be reunited with the ones you love best.

It is never easy, but we know in our hearts it is the kindest most honorable one. I will hold you and Cinco close to my heart today. Hugs to all there. I hope all the wonderful memories are of comfort.

    Land softly at the Bridge Cinco. Fear not. There are many there waiting to greet you. Look for Mannie, he will help you find your way. Fly free little one. We will always remember you. :rb_icon:
