It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform you all that my little Speck passed away this evening around 6PM. Around 4AM this morning she seemd to be in more discomfort then she was when she first arrived home. I thought the pain meds were just wearing off. After administering another dose I did...

Speck has taken a terrible turn since her amputation. I had to rush her back to the hospital. It appears that she is going into shock. Please keep her in your thoughts. She is in grave condition. Thank you. BethT

Hi Cindi,

I actually did buy one of those padded tent beds. She was in it at first but now she is actually just laying on the bed in between some pillows. Again thanks. BethT

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry for the loss of Millie. Like others have said, I'm sure she experienced a kind of love in her short life that she would have never had with anyone else. You and your husband are such wonderful people for taking care of her. I was thinking just the other day as I go through thi...

Hi Cindi, I was able to bring Speck home today. She was somewhat agitated at first. We have her closed in her favorite bedroom. She was trying to get under the bed but 2 days ago we took the bed off the frame and box springs and just put the mattress on the floor. I did not want her to try to jump u...

Friend2Dogs,

Everytime I read a post of yours I cry. What eloquent and poignant words. Don't leave you have a lot to offer. BethT

Karen, Today my cat had her leg amputated so I am ready to go to bed. I will write to you in more detail. I just want to say one thing tonight. It does get easier. Waffles was close to dead when I brought him home. Could not move at all, could not urinate, move his bowels on his own. He is so happy ...

That was so beautiful Ginny. I copied and saved it. BethT

Hi everyone, Well I heard from my vet at 3PM. He said Speck's surgery went "beautifully". She was just waking up and is on some good pain meds. He believes that she may be coming home tomorrow. I am very relieved but still scared as I think of her possible pain and confusion. I just wish i...

Oh Stephanie! You are so kind to be posting to be about Speck. Your prayers are much appreciated. I was thinking of you and Tama earlier today. It is just so sad. Thank you again for your thoughts. Take care. BethT

Thank you all for your kind responses. I have a lot of people sending Speck positive energy and prayers so hopefully she will be OK. I just got back from dropping her off. I took some photos of her this morning and I cut a little bid of fur to keep from the leg being amputated. I still am holding my...

Dear Stephanie,

I don't even know what to say. I am so, so, sorry about Tama. I had a hard time reading through your post it was so sad. I can not even imagine what you must be feeling. My heart is broken for you. Again I am so sorry. BethT

Please keep Speck in your thoughts tomorrow. She is having her amputation surgery. Thanks so much. BethT
