Stanley's gone

I will write something for the Rainbow Bridge section, but I wanted to let everyone who may not check there, that Stanley passed on. The doctor said he had advanced liver disease, and that there was nothing more they could do for him. So, I went down and signed the papers to have him put to sleep. It killed me to do it, but I think it was better than allowing him to suffer anymore, and the vet said he was suffering.

Oh Hope, I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you and Stanley will be watching over you from the rainbow bridge.

Oh Hope, I'm so very sorry. Words cannot express. (((HUGS)))

Hope, I'm so sorry.
That had to be so hard for you to do, but you did what was best for your sweet Stanley.
(((((((hugs)))))))

I'm so sorry. I know how hard it must have been to let him go.

This reminds me of another lady and her story on a different site. She had two very very young kitties.. and all of a sudden they started throwing up and not eating being lethargic... well one died already and one is barely hanging on. She said it was liver disease. These babies were not even 2 years old! I dont understand it.

Hope I am sorry for your loss. I am moving this to Crossing the Bridge, but there will be a directional left here for others to follow. I am sorry you lost Stanley, now his pain is over and yours begins.

Hope,

I was so sorry to read about Stanly. I know we we are hoping that he would recover. My deepest sympathy goes out to you.

Hope, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Stanley, RIP.

I'm so sorry.

You tell me what to say that has not been said already - i am here for you as you were for me last week with Vicki. Hope they are both having a heck of a game up there and chasing butterflies together..

My love, thoughts and best wishes to you - but you already knew that didn't you?

I still want to write a tribute to my little Stanley. I'm just still in too much shock right now, and I am hating myself for signing those papers. A part of me knows I did what would put him out of pain, and suffering, but the other part of me wishes I would have taken him around to different vets to get all of their opinions as well. I feel like I signed his death warrant, and it's so hard to live with that.

I'm so sorry.

Stanley is no longer in pain or suffering, and you did what was best for him. Your decision was based out of the love you had for him and you wanted his suffering to end.

R.I.P Stanley

Hope, I'm so sorry to hear about Stanley. But please remember, you shouldn't feel guilty. If he was sick and suffering, helping him over the Bridge was the most loving and compassionate thing you could do. Big (((hugs))) for you, and angels to look over you

Oh Hope, I'm so terribly sorry about Stanley. This just really upsets me because I know how I would feel if it happened to one of my kitties. I don't even want to think about it. My thoughts are with you, my dear.

Hope - I get the same feeling when I think of my grandmother as well as my cats in the past. We are lucky as we have the power to end suffering to animals in the kindest way - cannot do it to our fellow man- but would you have wanted the cat to suffer. Course not - you gave Stanley everything and I would recommend you do write a tribute. The greatest gift of love that Stanley has given you is memories - I know we never wanted memories but they alwaysd have a place in your heart and you never forget.
Had you taken him to different vets, the opinion would have been the same - it would have just upset and distressed the cat and that is not the way you want the cat to remember you.
Stanly loves you as I hope Vicki and all my other cats etc more for helping them do something they were powerless to do. Giving them dignity in the end.
Everyone tells you you will get over it - its BS, you never get over it - time heals - no way - its just days get a little easier and you cope a little more.
Do what i did, plant a rose see if there is a rose with a star in its name - as I know you Stanley is relating to Paul stanley and he always had a star on his face in Kiss days.

keep your chin up love

Still in my own state of shock after Vicki and stepfather died the same day but coping day by day and so will you.

Hope , I am so sorry . I think you did the right thing signing the papers . I had to put Samy down after his 2nd stroke and I know that it is not a easy task to do to sign the papers . My heart is going out to you . Your sweetie is in a better place with no pain at all .

I'm so sorry

Oh Hope! I'm glad Stanley isn't suffering any more BUT I'm so so sorry you lost him!

R.I.P

I'm so sorry Hope. (***hugs***)
