Well I will have to make this short since I will start blubbering again. The date for Jersey Mays journey over the rainbow bridge is Thursday 8am. Her other dad (thanks to all you poss. thoughts) will be here tomorrow (tues) and will be able to spend a day 1/2 with her. I just had to put my cat down last Thurs. that we have had for 16yrs.I am still upset over that. On the poss. side I am lucky to have a vet that will come to my house to help Jersey May along on her journey so she wont be so scared at the vet for her last few. I know its the right time and the right thing to do but still cant help feeling guilty for having to decide when she should move on. Guess its a natural feeling. I did make a concret tile with her paw prints and date on it for her and one for  her brother.

Chloe and I are glad to hear that her other dad will make it home to say good bye. So sorry to hear that Jersey May has to leave you so soon.  Keep enjoying every day you have with her.

We are sending positive thoughts to you.

I am sorry you have had to make this decision.  It is never an easy one, and one none of us take lightly.  I am relieved that you and Jersey May's other dad will have some time to spend with her together.  I'm sorry about your cat, this is just really bad timing for you and I feel badly for you.  Spend the next couple of days making memories to last you a lifetime.

Hugs to you, Jersey May, and her other dad.

You are having to make a tough yet loving decision, yet have chosen to make her passage gentle and comfortable. Having just recently gone through the same pain, I send you love, and a hug to the caring vet who will be there with you. 

Blessings to your whole family.

What a blessing you can all be together at this difficult time. It's got to be the hardest decision in the world, yet ironically, it's the kindest too. So weird.

We are so sorry you are at this point in the journey (and twice in one week is just heartbreaking). All of us are here, thinking of you and sending our love and hugs your way. If you want to talk, we are here OK?

One loss and another heartbreak coming. Oh my.

I am utterly sorry to hear about this, Mr. Red and Jon. This cannot be easy; I know it can't. But I'm glad of Jersey May's dads will be there to say goodbye to Jersey May. Releasing her is an absolutely unselfish act of love.

Thinking of you and sending hugs.

Our thoughts are with you now with what you have gone through with your kitty and will be especially with you on Thursday.   Please give an extra kiss and hug from all the tripawds.  And promise us that if you need us, you'll come and talk.

Super Hugs.

I'm so glad that Jersey May will get to spend some time with both dads before she passes on. That's a blessing. The choices you have had to make are not easy but they show the love and compassion you have for both Jersey May and your kitty. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

I'm so glad Jersey May's other dad will be able to get home to help her at the end.  You are doing what you need to do out of love for her, and she knows how much you love her.  Please give your special girl a big kiss and a hug from us.  We're sending plenty of hugs your way...
