Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear that Ani has passed away. My heart breaks for you at this terribly difficult time. Ani is now at peace, she was not feeling well and is now ok and resting peacefully with Trent. They will always be a part of you and now Skylar needs you to be his mommy. Please take care of yourself.

OMG Lauren, I thought Ani was feeling better and it was a complete shock when I saw your thread had been moved to Crossing The Bridge. I am so very sorry for your loss, and my thoughts are with you and little Skylar at this very sad and difficult time.

Rest In Pease Ani

I know you need to let yourself grieve but please remind yourself that you gave Ani what so many children and animals in this world don't have: a caring home and an immense amount of love. Your baby died in peace because she was so loved and cared for by you. I believe her soul is with Trent's now and that her love and gratitude is with you always.

Oh Lauren. Life must really seem unfair to you right now.

I felt sick to the stomach when I saw what section this thread was now, and I am sitting here at my desk at work crying


Ani will soar with Trent and together they will make mischief. *hugs*

I too was saddened to see this thread moved.

Lauren, please know that Ani is with Trent, and both are happy, healthy now, and patiently waiting for you. They are dancing in eternal sunshine now, and will dance in your heart the same way.

Much love to you. And hug Skylar, let him know you're there, and know that he's there for you now, too.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Best-
Michele

Oh, Lauren! I'm at a loss for words. Completely stunned. I can only imagine the heartache you're going through. Poor Ani.

I'm so sorry to hear about your precious baby. My heart just breaks for you. Mere words can't offer much comfort but I hope all the wonderful memories you have of your darling Ani will help you through this.

Lauren girl, how are you? I know it isn't the most positive of times for you, but please remember we are ALL here for you as always. If you need to talk, vent, cry, yell, scream, or whatever, we are here. I know you've delt with a lot in the past few months. I know also you are very strong. I am thinking of you at this time. You and your baby Skylar.

What can I say, honey, things were looking up, but things like this are unpredictable. I'm sorry you've lost another baby, but at least they are together, taking care of eachother until you reach the bridge, healthy, and happy.

We love you honey, know that.

Dear Lauren, I am so sorry that Ani went to the bridge. I just now saw this, I don't know how I missed it before. I just want to tell you that I will be praying for you. My heart breaks for you dear, if there is anything I can do please PM me if you need to talk or anything. The only comfort I can offer is that now Ani and Trent are playing together at the bridge and someday you will see them again. Hugs to you and pets for Skylar during this sad time.

Hello Everyone
..

I know I haven't been here since this happened. I just really couldn't get any words together. I am barely able to talk about anything right now.
I do not have too much information as to what happened to
my girl
.
The vet said that she felt that Ani and Trent were born to a litter that had some type of genetic problem(?) I don't know
I don't understand. All I do know is that I love Ani and Trent as much as I ever could love anyone. They are my heart and my soul. They have been with me through so much. They are so much a part of me, and I cannot be more grateful for that.
When I lost
Trent
, I took Ani to the vet shortly after to make sure she's okay. Things looked good with her at the time. I believed, without a doubt, that I would have Ani for many, many years. I NEVER, EVER even thought she would get sick, not even a cold. It just couldn't happen after all that went on. After losing Trent, I believed that no one could possibly survive that pain again. I lost Trent in September, and I have lost my Ani, yesterday..just 3 months later.
Some say she held on for me. I try to believe that.
The vet said that without taking her for the other tests, there was no diagnosis. I had planned on taking Ani for her ultrasound as soon as my money came in. I felt it was my fault for waiting. I guess I still do
It would have been today
I watched Ani so closely over the past week. Each day she looked worse and worse. Eventually, in her last 36 hours, she stopped eating completely, stopped grooming, not responding to any of her meds. Sometimes, she was able to take her meds without vomiting immediately. Even then, there was no response. Continuous vomiting while eating nothing. So painful.. unbelievably painful.
I tried to sit with her & pet her, but she would hide underneath the bed in a corner. She would face the wall
. She wanted me to leave her alone. I couldn't, but I tried my best to give her the space she needed. So, I would just sit on the floor next to her, and just be with her.

This is about all I could get out right now.
As each day passes, I believe I will get stronger. I didn't think I would make it through this time. I wanted to go away, and never come back. I wanted to fall asleep and never wake up. I had never felt so completely hopeless in my entire life.
But, I have to move on. No matter how long it may take, I have to keep going. I have a new baby here, who needs my love.

I read all of your posts on my thread and each one touched me so deeply
. The compassion and understanding that comes from the people here is nothing short of a miracle
.

I send all my love and appreciation to you all..
I will be writing more. I just lose it at a certain point

Aaawwww... It hurts. It just hurts. Take the time you need to heal, but don't forget we've got tons of love and strength being sent to you right now. Your honesty, compassion, and love have made you many friends here. I know many people are just as shocked. We may not feel your exact pain, but I know for a fact that if any one of us were near you, we would be there in a sec.

as always before
and always forever


I'm sorry. Just remember we are all here for ya. Pm me, or anyone, who ever is online at the time if you need to talk.

That's really rough that that happened to you, and so soon after Trent - we're all here for you and while some of us can't really say we understand, we're certainly willing to lend a shoulder or an ear.

I do think it's possible that Ani held on for you - that she made sure you had Skylar to look after before she left.

Please do not blame yourself... it was not your fault, especially not for waiting - so many of us would rather wait and see rather than spend a lot of money to find out that nothing was wrong.

Anyway, I know you have a lot of emotions to sort out but remember that we're here if you need to vent, and we care about you a lot!

I didn't want to have to wait for the next test
I tried to move everything along as quickly as possible. I saw she was getting bad, and quickly...even with the one "up" day that she had.
When I called Red Bank Hospital for Animals, I would have had an appt. today, and my mother was going to loan me what I needed as extra. Ani couldn't hold on any longer. In my heart, I believe she left peacefully. I know there was a struggle for quite a few days, but in the end, she let herself go softly
.
Wow.. this is tough to write. I haven't even talked about this out loud.

She was always such a smart girl. She amazed me. She just knew things. I remember I used to live with this guy whom Ani just did not like. No matter how much he tried to give Ani treats and help soothe her, she just did not like this guy. She would shake anytime he went near her. A few months later, I came to find out that this guy was a drug addict and was just not a good person for me to be around at all. A lot of lying and doing things behind my back. Being me, I tried to remain in denial about it. But, Ani..she was set against this guy all the way. After I found out all that was going on, I moved out with my kitties. Ani has always been the most friendly, loving cat. I had never before or since seen her react to a person the way she did with him. She was unbelievably clever. She is unbelievably clever
Truly Amazing

I am blessed to have these kitties in my life for 7-8 years. If they really are my guardian angels, I could not feel more safe.

Trust me, in life, as well as in afterlife... they ARE and always will be your guardian angels. You are one of the few who were lucky enough to have the chance to physically meet, and love them. I believe I've got a lot of animal guardians. From mice and rats, to ferrets, kitties, a cockatiel who passed away right before haloween (RIP my baby Arwyn boy), and a black n tan coon hound. They each guard different aspects of me.
