What an adorable sweetie pie.

Oberon and your family remain in my thoughts.

He drank a little water earlier but he's always been a hearty water-drinker, maybe from growing up in the heat in Texas. But his breathing is very shallow. I took a picture from flisssweetpea's advice but only this one.


Thanks so much for the kind words.

I'm having a really rough day and am very emotional today. Our daughter was really angry at me this morning for no reason. I guess she's upset too.
And it makes me even more upset that she was crappy to me this morning.

Grief is such a deep-felt emotion. It finds its outlet somehow.
to you all.

I imagine she is. It's tough on all of you.
Hopefully he'll just peacefully close his eyes forever.

Thinking of you today ... have you told him that it is ok to let go when he's ready? It might help him go easier.

Bless him - what a beautiful boy.

Big hugs for you, it is such an emotional time, don't worry about your daughter being snappy it's so difficult for everybody to cope with.

I recognise the look in Oberon's eyes, Tippy looked like that too. He looks so comfy on his cushion though. Give him a hug from me, and I know you will be, but spend as much time with him as you can


I'm thinking of you.

Sweet ol' guy.
It's almost 9 years since I saw that look in Gryph's eyes, but it's like yesterday.

Sending many postive vibes your way. This must be so difficult for you and your daughter.

As Jana said grief is felt so deep.
Many peaceful vibes for Oberon.

Many for you and Oberon. I'm so sorry it has come to this for your sweet boy. I wish there was something I could say or do to help, but I know that there is nothing.

Many
for your sweet boy.

That's a very good suggestion. I talked to Harvey before we left for Arizona and told him that, while I hoped to see him again when we got home, if he was ready to go while we were gone it was OK to go...we'd understand. Pat thought I was crazy, but Bryan (my stepson who was with him at the time) told me that Harvey was peaceful and didn't fight it when the time came and he believes that part of the reason was that Harvey knew it was OK. They understand more than we think they do.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today.

(((((HUGS)))) to you and Oberon and your daughter. It is not easy, you are brave, and you can tell him he's good to go. I told Sasha when the country vet came to the house, "you're good to go. You're good to go now hunny" and he did. He will meet Oberon on the RB, with all the love in the world.
Peace & Light to you~
Elizabeth and S3.

Cat, I can't even begin to imagine how you or your daughter mucst be feeling. The few companions I've lost have gone suddenly. It can't possibly compare to knowing it's hapening and you can't stop it.
While your telling Oberon it's ok don't forget to comfort and find comfort with your daughter. She might need to hear that it's going to be ok too.
