    Please send some vines for Bubba's dental procedure today.

    With a heavy heart we will be saying goodbye to Forrest at 3 pm. He is escalating in decline, losing control of his hind legs, losing weight, and seems to be uncomfortable with his inability to stay in one position. My heart is very heavy.

    Thank y'all so very much for the Love! I felt it. Rough day! Saying goodbye to Forrest was very very hard. He was such a sweet cat and so stoic and brave. I have a hole in my heart. All the vets in the practice and the techs gathered around him while his IV was being placed and told him that he was such a brave boy and so handsome. Great send off...

    On an up note, Bubba did great at the vets. He lost 3 more teeth! Yikes, I brushed them 2 times a week. Got to start doing more often I guess. And some more good news, his PMPS was 129! So, I am hoping that I can expect him to fully recover from the stress . That boy wanted to eat badly!

    At the vets today, I picked up Bubba after we said goodbye to Forrest. Bubba was in the room and I had reservations about that, but the vet that sent Forrest to the other side thought it would be helpful to Bubba to not wonder where Forrest was. He sensed he was in the room with him.

    Hugs to y'all!


    ETA: Forrest passed his face in my right hand and me kissing him on his head as he passed.

    I’m so very sorry Bobbie, my deepest condolences for the loss of your dear Forest. I know you loved him a lot and this must have been a terribly difficult decision for you to have to make but you did it because you loved him so much and wanted to keep him from suffering.

    Poor Bubba losing teeth and Forest, what a sad day for him too.

    Mmm, Bubba can still see him, so he already knows that Forrest is gone, but it was kind for the vet to think in that manner. Forrest's face in your hand - how comforting to him while being loved, that was so powerful to him, thank you for sharing that precious moment. :bighug:

    Stay close to Bubbs, both of you can use the comfort.

    I thought so too. My first impression was to spare Bubba of the process. But, I am very glad that we included him. Animals are very knowing. I hope that it helped Bubba's process. My last vision of the two of them was last night on my bed where they were preening each other. ugh.

    Oh Bobbie, my heart aches for you. I am so sorry to hear that Forrest has passed. cat_wings>oIt is so good he was loved so much to the very end by both humans and Bubba. Years ago when we helped one of our dogs pass, the vet said to have her sister in with her so she would know what happened. It was a good decision.
    I’m glad all went well with Bubba.

Just reading that you had your babies face in your right hand and kissing him just made me cry. It's the worst part of being a pet parent. Gentle hugs

    Don't worry about Bubba, Tigger hasn't had any teeth including FANGS for years - you almost can't tell! And we couldn't do anything to prevent it as he has some kind of genetic degenerative bone disease. He's actually much happier not in pain. I wish we would have learned about it sooner - After the first major surgery like . . . 10 years ago, he was a different cat! He stopped attacking us and started purring for the first time ever!

    They are always with us...never far...in our hearts always.

    I am so sorry to know that it was time for Forest to leave. I can imagine all the fun he had living with Bubba and the bond they shared. May you and Bubba be of great comfort to each other and carry on together in Forest's name.

    MUCH love to you, Bobbie.

    Dear Bobbie, :bighug::bighug::bighug:
    I am sad to hear that Forrest has journeyed to the Bridge. It was his time, but it is never easy for those who love him. I'm glad that he passed peacefully in your arms, and I know that the GAs at the Bridge gave him a beautiful welcome. Bubba needs to grieve, too, and he will help you remember all of the good times with Forrest.

    Fly free, fine boy. You are much loved. cat_wings>o

    p.s. to Bubba: you'll feel much better without those troublesome teeth.

    I just saw this today. I'm not on the Board much anymore.

    I am so very sorry to learn that it was Forrest's time to cross. I know how dear he was to you and your family, and what wonderful care you gave him, just like Bubba. He knew it, too. It was so kind of the vet to suggest Bubba be part of the sendoff. I've never heard of that before, but I love it. Forrest was surrounded by love and familiar faces, and isn't that what we all want when it's our time?

    I hope you are finding comfort in your good memories of Forrest, and in the love and sympathy of family and friends. We are all here for you.:bighug::bighug::bighug:

    Fly free, Forrest, and land softly. :rb_icon:
