    I can't believe I'm typing this, but we put my precious baby to sleep tonight. She was breathing strangely and still wouldn't eat today, so we took her to the vet. x-ray showed advanced heart disease and vet basically said there was nothing to be done. We are devastated. I honestly thought we would get a handle on the diabetes and she'd be herself again. She lived with us her whole life and I have always dreaded this day, but hoped it would be long from now. I have no idea how we will get by without her. I hate that I could not fix this. she deserved so much more.

    Thanks so much to all of you for your help over the past week.

    Jennifer - I am so sorry to read this. We had just gotten to know you and your girl. I am at a loss for words. I know how devastated you must feel, how it is when you want something so badly, and not be able to fix it, or make it happen. You are a very caring devoted bean. I hope that the memories will soon replace the sense of loss, sorrow, grief. You gave her the greatest gift possible. She is now free of illness, able to be herself again. I have no doubt that she is watching over you, always will be.

    I am so, so sorry for your loss. We grieve the loss of one of our own tonight, even if she was only with us for a short time. Even as it breaks our hearts, that last thing we do to stop their suffering truly is our last gift to them. I know that pain as well.

    Fly free, sweet Saima. I know my Miss Jezebelle will be meeting you at the bridge.

    Jennifer, I'm so, so sorry to read about the loss of your Saima. I know you are just heartbroken and I hope the love you feel from everyone here in LL will help a little. It is so hard to make the big decision but you did it because of your unconditional love for Saima. Fly free, sweet Saima!

    I am so sorry. This sounded so completely unexpected -- not that there is ever any way to fully prepare. You made the hardest and most loving decision possible. It was a final act of kindness and please, never doubt that. Saima will be at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you. In the meantime, she will always be in your heart and will never be truly gone.

    Fly free Saima, and land softly.

    Dear Jennifer,
    We are so sorry to hear of Saima's passing. You gave her many good years and you gave her the most loving gift of all: freedom from pain and suffering. She will always be in your heart and she will never be far away, waiting at the Bridge with the companionship of all of our GAs, until you meet again. Fly free, sweet Saima, on your beautiful new golden wings,

    In deepest sympathy,

    Ella & Rusty and Stu (GA)

    rb_icon Oh Jennifer. Just reading your post is telling of how special and loved Saima was in your life. She was and is such a lucky girl to have had you and it sounds like you spend every day knowing how much she meant to you. My heart hurts for your loss and I'm so so sorry for your family. I'm thinking of you today and the days to come and wishing you some peace and comfort in the joy you've had and the joy you gave. You've been part of one of life's ultimate gifts rb_icon .

    I am so sorry to be reading about another one of our own FD kitties going to the bridge. Her suffering is over, but yours is just beginning. I hope that her memories and the knowledge that you did so much for her will bring you comfort. She was lucky to have found you - I'm sure she knew that and that she feels your love, even now...

    As I sit here with tears streaming down- almost unable to type, I want to send you and your DH the best possible wishes. You both will be in my thoughts today. Always remember, what you did for her was the most loving thing you could have done ... ending her pain. The pain that you are left with is full on physical proof of how much you loved ( and will continue to ) love her. I just wanted to let you know that there are people like me, who understand and sympathize greatly with you for your loss.

    Run and play freely sweet one~~~

    Thank you so much, Susan... that means so much. I hope your Tiberious is feeling better. I have been worried about him.

    Thanks everyone. It's a tough day (it's a week after she died) but your kindness and compassion help a lot.
