My 13 year old sweetheart Vinnie, a Ragdoll I adopted from the SF City Shelter 13 years ago, had to be sent over the rainbow on Wednesday. To say the least, I can't write much now, as I am beginning to think I am in shock. I can't eat much, sleep well, think clearly, etc. I just can't believe...
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. As I have read from some of your postings, I know I'm not the only person with such bad luck. I am still greiving over Lenny and I can't believe I did not notice Vinnie's lump. He was actually eating fine lately, just vomited food a few times...
I can't even believe this is happening to me and my wife. Our dear Lenny passed away at home a little over two weeks ago. We have both been "a mess" and I have attended support groups, etc.
We realized that our 13 year old Ragdoll, Vinnie, had been loosing weight for the past month or so. He...
Forgot to mention that I had spoken withe the guy two days ago, he told me that he would be picked up on Monday or Tuesday at the latest of this week. and he did not inform his staff. One of them contacted us, asking us what we wanted to do with Lenny's body. I then told her that I had spoken...
The administrator at my vet today, called me up to tell me that he made a mistake in the "pickup time and date" and that Lenny would be at the vet until next Tuesday, which is the regular pick-up time.
AS you know, I am in a sad mood right now and am trying to make myself happy. I can...
I finally made it into work today after a very difficult weekend +, and I am feeling a bit beter after reading everyone's kind words for our family. I know if my heart that Lenny is right here beside me, meowing, and just staring at me with his beautiful, expressive eyes. I am so happy that I...
For those of you who remember me, I had been on this board a few months back, detailing the illness of our sweet, older guy Lenny. He was diagnosed with Hyper-Thyroid and cystic liver disease back in May. My wife and I had to give him fluids and 4-5 injections, on top of two trans-dermal...
Hello,
Well the move across San Francisco with our babies went rather well. Both my neurotic Ragdoll Vinnie and his cute brother Jimi came right out of their carriers and were running around the new hard wood floor apartment within minutes. Lenny went to the hospital on Friday night before...
Thanks again everyone for keeping us in your thoughts. I brought Lenny home today after a 3 day stay at he vet. So far he has only eaten 4 pieces of treats and a few pieces of KD, with a little Trader Joes Tuna wet food. He is now out from under the bed and sleeping next to my wife in our...
Thank you everyone for your prayers and concern. I just took Lenny in for Acupuncture to help soothe his pain.
He is very jaundice and they are keeping him there for a few days while we move with Vinnie and Jimi. The prognosis is not good and I need to find a better way to deal with the fact...
Unfortunately Lenny seems to have take a turn for the worse. My wife and I hired a Vet Tech to administer his meds and try to feed him while we took a two day vacation to Big Sur last weeekend. Although eh seemed rather sick and vomited last Thursday and Friday and would barely eat on Sat AM...
I'm going through the same thing with my dear Lenny. He also has Hyperthyroid though and just this week began not eating well, and vomiting and we are going out of town for two days and then moving next week I have not force fed him yet and hope I dont have too. He is a very difficult ca to...
Lenny had been looking pretty good for the past few eeeks. He has been eating tons of wet food, and some KD dry and occasionally his regular dry food he shares with Jimi and Vinnie. He did have two small vomit's over the past week, but seemed to still be ok. He was hiding less under the bed...
