Not a prob Dawn - it is hard to admit at times, but the people who can admit it and put their feelings above our own are the strong ones, and animals are lucky to be with them, as they wont suffer. It is worse when they are one of hte ones that gets that bit deeper though.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #78 on:** April 27, 2007, 01:24:48 AM »

Des, thanks for the email and sorry I've not replied as yet

I know in my heart it was time for her to go to the bridge, and I know she wouldn't have survived any treatment, it's hard to admit it to yourself when you love them so much but if I had kept her going, it would have been for my own selfish reasons ie that I didn't want to let go

I know I've done this numerous times but sadly, it never gets any easier. The one's that always have the knack of wriggling into my heart are always the one's where there's something wrong even if it isn't obvious at the time. I managed to have a chat with Sean today about her........I did try and avoid him this morning as I didn't really want to talk about her but then he collared me about the feral which eventually led onto the subject of Minnie. He said it was the kindest thing for her and he knew that I knew her life was going to be short

She'll be one I won't ever forget and she'll always have a special place in my heart along with Dylan, Nobby, Oscar, Max, Little Bob, Keiko, Fluffball and the other little furries that have made a difference in my life.

i am so sorry to hear this Dawn, I know how it feels to wonder if you did the right thing, or if you should have let them go sooner, but as long as she had a quality of life, you did the right thing to fight for/with her, to give her that chance and to know that nothing more could have been done, and to then be able to let her go when it was obvious that nothing more could have been done, that is what they all deserve. RIP little one.

Too true Dawn.

Sleep well little girl. x

Thank you for all your lovely comments

Trace, she was another beautiful ginger princess and will always be remembered just as Molly will always be, I can still picture Molly's sweet face and I remember when I trapped Minnie, how much she reminded me of her

CC, we weren't exactly sure what was wrong with her, she has never grown but seemed reasonably healthy and blood tests didn't show anything untoward with her........her survival just wasn't meant to be

I was contemplating having a pm done on her but I couldn't face it, I wanted her to remain untouched and at peace. It won't bring her back and I will just be beating myself up if it was something we missed.

Another little star at the bridge, I'm sure she will have all the boys in tow and have some nice cuddle pads

Dawn there's not much to say apart from she had a wonderful time with you and that you did your best as you always do.

Only ever borrowed never owned but always a pawprint in our hearts

God speed your little ginger ninja

I think maybe if you come up for a wee visit and a rest, you should smuggle Jimmy here too. xxx

Is that as well as Boston or instead of

Seriously, I really needed a chat tonight

I'm sure Minnie is now playing on the bridge and all my babes will be looking after her.......I just feel so sad as she's come through so much and it was all in vain, when this happens, it makes you wonder if the decision should have been made sooner but then she wouldn't have had the chance. You get certain ones that steal your heart completely, Minnie was one of them........she was a little fighter right through to the end god love her and one that has broken my heart

Sorry to hear your sad news Dawn, big hugs to you

You did your best for Minnie and she was lucky to have someone like you to care for her.

Minnie you've got lots of furbabes to meet you at the bridge!

Minnie knows I loved her to bits.........how could I resist that cute little mush

Jimmy has been looking for her this evening, he and Minnie were cuddle mates but I'm sure he'll be okay bless him.

Lainey, thanks for the phone call

Mark · « **Reply #55 on:** April 24, 2007, 21:25:13 PM »

Poor baby. Its terrible when any cat has to be PTS but Minnie was just a tiny helpless baby - I'm choked

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #54 on:** April 24, 2007, 20:20:30 PM »

I've always been concerned about Minnies health.......she did seem okay in herself for a long time but her size and everything else told different. I've cried bucketloads for her today.......I just feel I let her down and the funny thing was I said to Sean last night, sometimes I felt it was fairer to let her go but then I would have been gutted if there was a chance she would make it

She was really quiet last night after her jab and spent most of the time snuggled up to Jimmy but she reacted bad after the Anabolic steroid one she had last week so I assumed it was to be expected with her.........Minnie and jabs didn't suit each other but possibly because of what was going on with her internally or because of her size. When the vet checked her, she said she thought she was already on her way and that some brain damage was setting in, Minnie just lay there staring and didn't respond to stimulus

At least she's at peace now and I held her whilst she went........and she did go peacefully bless her.

Mark · « **Reply #53 on:** April 24, 2007, 20:10:33 PM »

Sorry Dawn,

Its awful that this didn't even start as a problem thread, more a "proud mum" one - Poor little baby - you did your best for her and thats what matters.

Sleep well little Minnie

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #52 on:** April 24, 2007, 19:48:50 PM »

Oh Dawn I am so sorry *huge hugs*

I'm in tears now as her story really touched me. I'm thinking of you Dawn xxx

Sleep well Minnie and have fun at the bridge. You were loved so much by your mummy and those of us who knew your story through purrs. Gonzo will look after you up there, he'll be pleased to have a little parrot friendly friend to play with and take care of again. xxxxx

Gemma H (Akandra) · « **Reply #51 on:** April 24, 2007, 19:37:30 PM »

Dawn, I'm so sorry. She was such a lovely little thing.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #50 on:** April 24, 2007, 19:34:05 PM »

I've got some very bad news concerning Minnie........I had to have her pts earlier on

She just wasn't right and the vet didn't think it was fair to try to pull her back from the brink. I'm not sure what was wrong with her but I don't think the jab helped matters last night......hubbie tends to think it was possibly delayed shock with her

I had a horrible feeling yesterday that her time was nearly up but you just have to hope, sadly in this case it didn't work

Night, night gorgeous Minnie, you'll be forever remembered, sleep well babe, xxxxxxxx

sorry to hear little minnie is unwell my fingers r crossed for u both Dawn

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #48 on:** April 23, 2007, 22:49:12 PM »

I'm normally quite brave when it come's to Minnie........I try not to let her get to me too much but I did have a cry earlier, I'm hoping she will surprise me and perk up over the next few days. Sean seems to think things are taking a toll on her body now though so it doesn't sound too hopeful

alexgirl73 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 23, 2007, 22:45:36 PM »

So sorry to hear little minnie is ill Dawn! She is utterly gorgeous

I'm sending loads of good vibes to her, and keeping everything crossed!

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #46 on:** April 23, 2007, 22:02:47 PM »

I think I'm going to have a word with Sean about checking her for a shunt. He did have a word with his mate who specialises in this sort of thing but because she doesn't show any psychological problems after eating, his mate has ruled it out. But as I've found with most of mine, when they are ill, nothing is how it should be........I think this is the only option, I've got some booked in on Thursday so I'll give Sean a ring tomorrow about getting Minnie in and see what he says. He may say no but if he does, she can just have the blood test on Thursday and see if that comes up with anything.

Liz · « **Reply #45 on:** April 23, 2007, 21:56:39 PM »

Dawn

All our thoughts are with you and Minnie, she has come this far so positive vibes from all here and whatever the outcome you have done miracles sometimes the impossibe requires more planning

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #44 on:** April 23, 2007, 21:51:57 PM »

Fingers crossed she defies you both Dawn.

Mark · « **Reply #43 on:** April 23, 2007, 20:16:40 PM »

Dawn,

Sending positive thoughts for you and your poor little mite Minnie.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #42 on:** April 23, 2007, 20:00:59 PM »

Everything possible will be done for her but my hopes are fading now for her survival

I really don't know what's going on with her and neither does Sean. I will just have to hope that her next bloods show up something......her last one's were clear but the next lot are going to be sent off. I'm so worried about her now and I wasn't impressed with the way she responded to the jab........it was weird, it was like she'd gone into shock for a couple of minutes and she just stood there and then started crying

hannah (weeny) · « **Reply #41 on:** April 23, 2007, 19:50:49 PM »

oh no. well, sounds like you and sean are and will be doing everything for her, i will keep her in my thoughts and hops for the best xx

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #40 on:** April 23, 2007, 19:50:18 PM »

Got my fingers crossed for her and the team have all got the paws crossed for a positive outcome for your gorgeous little girl. We all think she's
