My Baby Girl Gracie

Oh my goodness......You need a big Hug...((((Cats)))))) I am so very sorry to hear about your baby girl Gracie...I am keeping her in my prayers... I sure wish there was something I could say that would make it all better and make the hurt go away. You are all in my thoughts....

Hopefully she is doing better!! I bet you have had it! It would be nice if you could just get a little good luck!!

Sweet I am so sorry to read this I know Gissi has a Heart Murmur but he has not had that Problem, I really hope that they can do something for her

I'm sorry to hear that your kitty is ill. I hope the vet can treat her and she will have a full recovery! Keep us posted ok? And hang in there!

Oh Cats, I am sorry about your cat. I hope that the problem is minor and easily taken care of..

I hope it all turns out. I am going through something similar with my mother, hating what might have to be done, not wanting it to happen, hoping for the best. And, I'd feel the same way about either one of my cats. They are all our family. They all mean something to us. We have fed them, bathed them (sometimes), provided shelter to them, doctored them, protected them. There is no way anyone experiencing that can feel nothing. They may pretend otherwise, but they do feel it. I am so very sorry, though. My thoughts are with you and Gracie.

I am so sorry Cats, you and hubby need a break. I hope its nothing serious and the medicine does the trick. My heart breaks for you. Take care, your in my thoughts and prayers.

Hang in there CatsandDogs. I am praying for Gracie. I do not want to make light of a serious situation but maybe Gracie has Pneumonia like we can get. The good news is that she can overcome this with the right care and medication. Keep her warm. I am praying for all of you. Stay positive for Gracie and please, keep us updated. Will be checking back tomorrow.

My heart goes out to you. I know the pain that having to face such a choice causes. I have sadly have had to make that choice quite a few times in my life but I know I cannot bear to watch any of my babies suffer and have to make the merciful choice. I shall be praying for your Gracie and that she be will be alright and you are nor faced with that heartbreaking decision.

Awww...sweetie I'm so sorry about this! That's so awful! I hope the vet can get her straightened out and she doesn't have to be put down. I'm sending more hugs to you and to your sweet Gracie. I'm praying for all of you. PM me if you need me hon.

Aww, Cats, that just terrible! I wish I could be there to help ya. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved baby. Please keep us posted and I have lit a candle for her at: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng I've put it as Graci because that's what it would take

Dearest Cats, my heart goes out to you. You know I'm not really a cat person, but as you say, Gracie is your baby and I feel your pain. So prayers and much love to for you and please keep us updated. I have responded to #10 by the way, and am soooo glad to see the support you have received here. Hugs.

I'm sorry to hear that gracie is having so much trouble, I hope that she does better in the morning though. Good luck to you!

I apologize for my response coming so late but I just haven't had time to read all of my emails lately. But, you know something? I've noticed something about you... you're a lot tougher than you realize! I've seen you say "I've had enough" quite a few times, and yet you're still here, still functioning and still managing to take care of things. You're a tough cookie, tougher than you realize, Cats! You go girl! As for Gracie, I hope she's doing better! Has the vet found the cause of her fluid buildup? You've been very fortunate with her, I must say. Years ago, I took my cat to the vet's with the very same symptoms. My cat was 16 years old and had arthritis and couldn't get around much anymore. When I noticed his breathing was very labored, I rushed him to the vet. While sitting there in the waiting room, I told myself that if this was very serious, I would have him put down because he was already in a lot of pain from the arthritis and he was also pretty old. I didn't want him to suffer any longer. One of the vets came out with the X-rays and showed me the fluid that had built up around his lungs. He said it was caused by a very serious heart condition. I just had enough time to tell him what I had decided to do when, suddenly, I heard the word "STAT" come over the loud speaker and just KNEW they were referring to my kitty. My cat's vet came running into the waiting room and waved me to the back where he told me that my cat was having a "seizure"... a heart attack, and what did I want to do? I told him to "Put him to sleep!" without thinking... I didn't want my kitty to have one second more pain than he had to. He was dying, there was no changing that. I was okay until the first vet, the one who showed me the X-rays, put his arm around my shoulders and said "You did the right thing." THEN, I burst out in tears! I cried and cried! I couldn't even write out the check to pay for all this. Luckily, the gal in the front office had experience like this and said she'd fill out the check, then let me look it over and sign it. I'm so glad she did that! She also pulled out a box of tissues for me and asked if I'd like to go over to a private waiting room and sit awhile. A few days later I received a beautiful sympathy card from them in the mail. They were so kind!!! I know what it's like, for sure! Our pets are more than just animals... they are family! They are like our children! Of course, with my experience, I still had to come home from the vet's with that empty carrier. My children saw that I had been crying, looked at the carrier, and started crying themselves. They were about 9 and 11 years old and it was very hard on them... they had known this cat all their lives! How is Gracie doing now?

It seems as though someone has put a curse on you cats. This is all very much beyond what could be said to be normal. Like you said...enough is enough...whatever bad spirits are attacking my friend and her family ...leave off and go find someone else to harrass...someone more deserving.

I am here for you. I understand what it feels like to be crushed under the weight of many problems happening at once. So feel free to yell, scream, and throw a hissy fit. Release the tension so you can deal with Gracie. She needs you to be strong but you need to release your tension. Then you will find yourself calmer. Hold Gracie in your arms and allow her to calm you and comfort you. Do for her and she will do for you. I know you are having a very hard time. Please know in your heart that your friends, including me, are all here for you. God Bless you, Royal Mom

I am sorry for you I really am, I had a dog for eleven years and I had to have her put down 6 years ago. I swore I would never have another pet and so far I never have. I really hope that things turn out not to be as bad as you are thinking.

I am sorry to hear that things are going so wrong for you catsand dogs. It's not easy and when all else fails we just want to quit the fight just lay down and give up. I know I went through some pretty rocky stuff this year and I long and hard prayed for months trusting that god would work things out. In his time he did work through all things big and small. I will keep you in my prayers and I do hope things will make a turn for the better for you. Don't give up on hope for all of us here at mylot will be here for you that's what friends are for.
