Teddy has passed

[phyncke]

So it became evident last night that it was time for Teddy. His breathing got labored in the evening and it occurred to me that my vet had said the cancer was pretty far along and I thought he might be in some pain. Cats don't let you know when they are in pain - they are such stoic little critters. They hide it so well. So I made the decision to have him euthanized. I had to take him to the emergency vet as it was after hours and they were really good with this. They let me go in with him and stay until the very end. I double masked and went in there and stayed until he passed. He was such a trooper. He has always been great at the vet and he was last night. He is always really curious there so he looks around and takes it all in. They wrapped him in warm blankets and we could let him go. It is a really hard thing to do but I know that it was the right time. No lingering suffering for my Teddy. Rest in peace my little Bubbah. I will see you again.

I'm sorry you lost your fur baby but I'm so glad you got to be there with him to the very end and that he's not suffering any longer.

I was very glad to be able to go in with him. That meant a lot to me. I worried about that with covid-times but they let me go in. Thanks for your comment. I miss him but he is in the beyond now and running free!

Teddy was obviously a real friend and comfort in your life. So sad that he's gone - but what an lovely life you gave him. And you were there for him right to the end. You must feel so raw at the moment. XXX Sending you hugs and love XXX.

It's really hard right now but I am really glad I had the time I had with him. He was such a lovely kitty. I will miss him but I wanted to make sure he did not suffer. That is what we have to do. Thanks for your comment.

I am so very, very sorry, Jane love. He was a trooper and clearly gorgeous, and I know you're going to feel his absence for a long while.
