    Despite increased medication, fluids and syringe feeding Gus was declining rapidly. We had house visit with his vet and when it become apparent that there is nothing else that can be done he was helped cross the bridge.

    {{{Elizabeth}}}

    I am so saddened to learn that Gus is at the Bridge. I know how hard you tried to help him and how painful it is to say goodbye. I hope you find comfort in the fact that you did everything possible for him - more than many people would - and that you made his quality of life your first priority. Setting him free is the hardest gift to give, but the most loving.

    We all grieve with you. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

    Fly free, sweet Gus, and land softly.

    (((Elizabeth))) I'm so very sorry, my heart hurts for you. It's the hardest most loving thing us beans need to do sometimes. Gus had the most wonderful, caring bean and he'll always be with you. I've asked Doodles to show him the way. Fly free sweetest boy Gus, land softly and play freely. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

    Dear (((Elizabeth))), Gus had a wonderful life with you. All the GAs at the Bridge are welcoming him tonight, and, since it is the night of the Full Moon, all his pals here in L&LL will be able to glimpse him through the veil during their Circle of Remembrance. Your boy will always be in your heart, in that special place that belongs only to him.
    Fly free, sweet Gus, on your beautiful golden wings, and send a sign to your mamabean that you are safely arrived at the Bridge. You are much loved.cat_wings>o

    In deepest sympathy and loving remembrance,
    Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)

    Yes, it's how we hope the end will be like someday (far, far, far away) when we first take them into our lives. It sure does hurt, though, and I'm so sorry you're going through it.

    I am so sorry it was Gus's time to go to the Bridge. I'm glad he had a peaceful, loving passing. You always did your best for him, even at the end, when that last, loving decision is so painful. I hope your wonderful memories of him will help to heal your heart. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug: they walk beside us.GIF

    Dear Elizabeth - it is with such a heavy heart that I got home from dinner and saw your posting. I am so sorry - this pancreatitis/IBD thing that ravage our kitties is so cruel. Gus is no longer suffering - You were such a loving, caring kitty Mom. I agree with Sienne and I too hope that you know you made a kind, loving decision. RIP, little Gus. So sorry, Elizabeth.
