Someone asked me how much I would have paid in medical expenses if it would have extended Daisy's life. I said I would have spent every cent I had.

Then I thought that I would give everything I own if I could just have one more day with her now - if she could just come back one time and I could tell her how much I love her, pet her again, hold her, tell her I'm sorry that she died.

What makes me sad about this is that there is nothing I can do, - no amount of money, no amount property, no amount of tears will bring her back. I can only hope that my beliefs are true and that one day, at the end of my life, I will see her again.

Daisy's Mom, I know what you mean. I would give anything to have Dugan back one more time. I tried so hard that last night to pet him and give him so many kisses because they were going to hae to last a lifetime. I f God came down and said"You give me ten years off of your life and I will give you Dugan back for six months" I would jump at the chance.

There just wasn't anything we would not have done and if love could have stopped his death, he would still be here with me.

I know I will see him again and what a reunion that will be.

Take care.

Dear Daisy's mom,
I feel just like you, I would give anything to have Furry back for just a few more moments to hug her, smell her sweet fur & stroke those silky ears.
I still have days when I refuse to believe that she has really gone & go looking for her.
Do you also find yourself worrying that perhaps there could have been more I could have done to keep her alive ? I know that I do.
I wish I had your belief that you will meet again - that must be some comfort.

I feel exactly the same way. I am sure everyone who loses any human they love or pet they love feels the same way. The good news is we WILL be able to touch them again and speak to them again one day. This is only a temporary separation for a little while. And when we are reunited, it's FOREVER. YEAH!!!!!

I'm sure all of you have seen those Mastercard ads that put a price tag on things but when it comes to the intangible objects they say they're "priceless". I know all of us felt if we had to rob a bank to save our babies it would be worth it. I shelled out over $1400 in two weeks for Precious for procedures that could not save him, but yes it was worth every penny. Just to know what he had and what the staff at the vet and the specialist did to help him survive...they tried their best but when a cat is older and infirm and there's no hope of saving him, they did do everything that could be humanly done.
If all of my prayers had helped, he would still be here. But the thing against him most was Father Time. Funny how 19 years felt like they sped by me!!

Daisy's Mommy:

I know also how you feel.

My boy Jackson was in need of medical help from a tumor he had growing on him. unfortunately, my wife and i did not have the financial resources to get him the treatment that might've helped.

Instead, we helped manage his pain, and loved him immensely and made each day of his last days full of life and love.

I would love to have my boy again for a few days. But I relish the thoughts that he is in Heaven and pain free. I see him smiling, running in the fields, chasing the bunnies and having a frolicking good time!

One day, I hope and pray to have the opportunity to hug him yet again.

Jackson, my boy...your daddy misses you and loves you!

Daisy's Mommy - I *believe* that you will have the chance to hug your furry friend again just as I will have the chance to hug my boy again.

Peace be with you.

I know I would have cleaned out the bank account if it would have gave me another 9 years with Simba. I was ready to do so too... My Vet explained to me how treatments wouldn't help and if they did the cancer would most likely just come back and everything would start all over again. So though I would have had no problem shelling out for the medical expenses for Simba, I am thankful to my ethical Vet that did not prey on my emotions and take advantage of me.

I think it's normal to go through the what ifs. After reading what people on this site have had to say about their own experiences I know we all did the best we could. I know I would have done anything to help Oscar, and I did. He was loved and cared for and will always be in my heart. Like you I wish I could have him back, but we know that won't happen in this life. In the next we will have every person, and furbaby to welcome us.
As hard as things are now, try to find comfort and a smile in the memories. In the last three weeks I have had three losses, and it has been very hard. I find joy in the special pictures and memories. Instead of letting the desperate depression take over I try to celebrate the lives, the joy, and the love I was blessed to have, and take comfort in the belief I will be reunited in the hereafter.
Blessings to you Nina
