That is beautiful and such a loving tribute to a brave little man.

Paul and I were discussing last night and are going to edge off that area of the garden and put in some nice plants and make up a little stake with Colby's Corner written on it and put a little verse in too. Once we get it all organised we will put up a little photo for everyone so that they can see his little spot in the garden.

Lynds came to visit yesterday and brought some gorgeous red tulips which currently mark his grave. Thank you Lynds

Jusr caught up with this. So sorry to hear about poor little Colby. RIP Baby.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #457 on:** February 26, 2009, 14:18:15 PM »

Colby was buried this morning in a special place in the garden now to be known as Colby's Corner

albeit Paul came up with it on a whim but its quite fitting.

He is now with our special babes 'at home' and we hope he is happy, pain free and playing with all our other bridge babes.

We miss you baby Colby, here only a short while... but you left with our hearts.

Such heartbreaking news. I am so very sorry.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #455 on:** February 26, 2009, 08:21:20 AM »

I am so very sorry he lost his battle, but at least he got to know love, and allowed to go with dignity after everything possible had been tried, he was very lucky for that. RIP little one.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #454 on:** February 25, 2009, 19:48:03 PM »

I am so very sorry to hear this. At least this courageous little fella didn't die alone, terrified and in agony but well-fed, cared-for and with dignity. You gave him that.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #453 on:** February 25, 2009, 19:16:46 PM »

So sorry he didnt make it

you should be proud of the care and attention you gave him, many others would have quit at the first hurdle

le chat noir · « **Reply #452 on:** February 25, 2009, 18:56:48 PM »

Forever in our hearts - night night Colby. You have pulled so many heart strings and we will miss you. I will not forget your lovely big saucer eyes.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #450 on:** February 25, 2009, 18:19:37 PM »

thank you so much for all your words of support guys

it really means a lot to us both.

we've read all your messages and had a few more good 'bubbles'

Today has been a really hard day and we are both really numb and still in shock I think really. Although we had it in the back of our mind that this may have to happen we were getting prepared for possibly making a decision in a few days ...... just didn't expect it to hit us today with absolutely no other options for the wee man and completely helpless to do anything for him.

He was such a brave brave soul and such a big character. We miss him dearly and just hope he is pain free and happy playing at the bridge.

We have brought his wee body home with us this afternoon and are going to bury him here, by our other special babes. He deserves to be at rest close to the only place he's known love and kindness.

God, I just can't take this in. Am gutted. Absolutely gutted.

Sarah, Paul, can only begin to imagine how you will be feeling right now. My heart goes out to you. You gave that little lad so much care and love in the short time he knew you, you should be proud.

Rest easy Colby, little man.

just got back from work and cant quite believe what im reading, its just so heartbreaking poor poor Colby hope your at peace now. Sending

to Sarah and Paul for all your

hard work.

Andrea.

Mark · « **Reply #447 on:** February 25, 2009, 17:37:42 PM »

Sorry Sarah and Paul,

When I saw the photos of his big trusting eyes, he really got to me. I know you did everything possible. It is so unfair that a poor little bundle has to go through so much in such a short time. We can only take comfort in the fact that you spared him a lot of pain and distress and all he knew at the end was warmth and comfort from you

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #446 on:** February 25, 2009, 17:31:11 PM »

I'm so sorry, i've been rooting for Colby since I saw this thread

Trying not to cry!

Rest in peace little man, at least you're no longer in pain

ChrisB · « **Reply #445 on:** February 25, 2009, 16:42:25 PM »

So sorry Sarah and Paul (and nurse Herbie) - nobody could have done more for little Colby who will be remembered with love by us all.

Sootyca · « **Reply #444 on:** February 25, 2009, 14:38:10 PM »

I'm so sorry. I've followed him without posting and was so hoping for a miraclem. You did everything you could and at least his last days were filled with warmth, food and love which is a better way to leave this world than what would have happened if he didn't have you.

Tears here, it seems so unfair...

So sorry Sarah and Paul, it must be terrrible for you.

Please take comfort in the knowledge that you did everything possible for this little chap.

What a little star Colby was, who came briefly into all our lives and stole our hearts.

Thank you for sharing him.

God Bless little one.
Sweet dreams, be happy in spirit.

I am so sorry Sarah.

koscha (Ruth M) · « **Reply #439 on:** February 25, 2009, 13:23:26 PM »

I'm so sorry hun, I'm speechless......

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all i've done.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

I'm now going to have a cry, for that sweet little man.....though I do have a vision at the moment of Colby with a halo of light around his head, he is blessed and exhaulted by the angels...

My blessings are upon you, Paul and Nurse Herbie, you have shown him such love during his short time with you that you too deserve a halo

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #438 on:** February 25, 2009, 13:18:01 PM »

I've only just logged on and seen this - I am so, so sorry Sarah

I can hardly believe it and I'm sure you feel the same. You fought so hard for him. I'm so thankful that he knew love, comfort and warmth in his last days. RIP dear little Colby

2d · « **Reply #437 on:** February 25, 2009, 13:03:59 PM »

I'm so sorry.

Poor little Colby.

At the very least he had those lovely cuddles, and he knew the world wasn't all cold and horrible.

I truly hope that whoever did this to him burns in hell for eternity.

Christie · « **Reply #436 on:** February 25, 2009, 13:00:11 PM »

Terribly sorry to hear this sad news. At least he knew a few days of love, warmth, care, and attention with you both and his nurse Herbie.

Have only just come on and this is the first post I had read and am so devasted at this sad news. I am so very sorry Sarah and know what you must be feeling right now. I was so hoping the little chap would make it

RIP Colby, our friends will show you around the Bridge where you will be safe for ever.

I am so, so sorry. I feel like I have lost one of my own. I can only echo what others have said, that he at least knew love and caring during his last days. My thoughts are with you, I cant imagine how you must be feeling. Rest in peace little man.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #427 on:** February 25, 2009, 12:13:07 PM »

I'm so sorry, Sarah. You and Paul (and Nurse Herbie) did an amazing thing giving Colby the chance you did - and he knew so much love.

RIP, Colby. No more pain, little guy.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #426 on:** February 25, 2009, 12:11:06 PM »

RIP Colby

At least he knew true love and care for the time he was with you, I know you did everything you could

RIP Baby, safe and sound at the Bridge by now - you have a Mum forever now and she will come and collect you one day...

for you and Paul

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #425 on:** February 25, 2009, 12:10:02 PM »

Thank you guys

It has really knocked us for 6 and then some. We were expecting to pick him up this afternoon and perhaps have to deal with losing him in a few days so it has hit us really hard this morning.

We were essentially correct in our assumption last night of his anus closing up, however it had happened on a much more serious level than we had thought. Our initial thoughts were the soft tissue had knitted together on healing but this wasn't quite the case.

Due to the severe inflamation of the tissue in and around his anus and it having been that way for so long it had turned the tissue fibrous (think thats the right word). As the swelling began to settle it then became rock solid and as a result blocked his anus and lower intenstine completely. Because of this there is absolutely nothing we could have done and it was blocked solid so nothing could pass in or out and he would never be able to pass anything and therefore we had no option but to let him go.

We havent' stopped crying since we got the call as it was just not what we were expecting at all and I don't think either of us were ready to say goodbye to the wee fella.

All we can do is try to think of the happy times he had with us and the fun he had with Nurse Herbie and hope that he is at peace now. We also hope that the evil

who caused him all this suffering gets their just desserts.
