Almost 200, Liriel trying to get to 200 posts

Congrats Madadh,

Sorry so late in posting having kitty problems at home.

Liriel Baenre Do'Urden,


Thanks, I hope the wee ones are alright

Well, my one cat, Kit Kat, is very ill. She has a blood parasite that is destroying her red blood cells. She's on a antibotic and a steriod but she's not looking so good. If she's not better by Friday the vet says we should seriously think about putting her to sleep. It's all I can do not to bawl my head off.

Norman, my oldest, got bit by one of the others (I have 5 at the moment) and it got infected. So he's on medicine.

And last but not least, I think my female dog is not really fixed and just went into heat and my male dog, who I know is not fixed, is trying to hump her. Try playing referee between those two is getting tiring.

But other than that everything is just peachy.

Sorry to hear about your animals. I hope all goes well.

Liriel Baenre Do'Urden,

I understand about loosing pets. I have had to put two down this year. It is always hard, but I know that they are not only in a better place (walking over the rainbow bridge), but they are no longer in pain.

Thanks Madadh,

I just hope Kit Kat will understand that.

When they get to the other side of the bridge, their pain goes away and they can play with all the other cats and dogs.

At least that is how the legend goes. I hope to see my friend there some day.

Madadh,

Just to let you know. My Kit Kat died on Saturday. She had a seizure and passed away before I could get her to the vet. It has been a very trying weekend.

Sorry to hear that. Here is a poem that helped me when I lost my friend. Hope it helps.



Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Thanks for the poem.

I printed it out and hung it next to my desk. That way I can read it every day and remember the way Kit Kat slept on my chest on the couch.

Liriel Baenre Do'Urden,

Glad the poem helps.
