BLACKIE
POSEY 
To Rainbow Bridge May 20,2006
I had to have Blackie, the
stray cat I had been taking care
of for 6 wks. put to sleep Monday & I like
everyone else who has lost their
loved ones just haven't felt like getting on
the computer. So many of
you I haven't had the pleasure of getting to know
really well, but I want to offer
my deepest sympathy to all of yall that have lost
your pets recently. I know
it isn't easy for any of us. Take care.

TIBBS KASICA
To Rainbow Bridge May 24, 2006
I hadn't posted it to muffin because
since MR. Tibbs was not a
diabetic kitty, I didn't know
if it would be appropriate, so you
didn't miss anything.
Thank you all for the kind thoughts,
they are much appreciated.

Took the last Journey together
on June 8, 2006
I'm sorry to have to tell you all
that Rocky my dd and his 14 year old
companion Rudy both went to the
bridge yesterday,it was a difficult decision to
make,Rocky's bg's have been
in the 500's,he couldn't walk anymore,I had to
carry him and hold his behind
up so he could go potty,his back legs were
almost like he was paralyzed,Rudy
pretty much had the same problem but also had a
terrible cough and had several
little pink growths,the vet said that cocker
spaniels get those, he was also
gaining a lot of weight,I miss my boys so
much,I was very lucky to have
had them & love them for 14 years.
Thank you all,

EUBIE
PROUT 
To Rainbow Bridge June 19, 2006
Eubie was Diane's precious companion
and confidant for so many years -
There are not enough words in the
world to express how much Eubie will be missed by everyone who knew him
- near and far. Rest in the arms of God, little man.
BUFFY
To Rainbow Bridge July 22, 2006
My beautiful Buffy girl passed
to the rainbow bridge on July 22.
She tried so hard, but because
of all the Chemo and the Diabetes
she went into renal failure.
I truly know that I gave her my
last precious gift of letting her go,
but I miss my beautiful girl so
much.
We won the battle - and she was
complete cancer free,
and the diabetes levels were great
-
which I was so grateful for -
but we could not win this one!
Thank you all for your wonderful
help,
e-mails and kindness over the
years.
With loosing Coco my first diabetic
last Sept 16 and now Buffy,
it is just too difficult
to continue to stay on.
Thank You again - we will keep
you all in our thoughts and prayers especially
those furbabies that are having
problems.
Ruth, Muffin, Yummy, Angels Coco
and Buffy

MANDI
FLEWELLING
To Rainbow Bridge Thursday, August
9, 2006, 1:30 a.m.
My precious Mandy passed
away about 1:30 Wednesday morning. After failing
rapidly over the weekend, Tuesday
evening she could not get up unaided, had difficulty walking,
wasn't eating and her body was
retaining water and she had difficulty breathing.
I called a vet to come to the
house on Wednesday night but watching
that sad tired girl laboring to
breathe through the evening I couldn't make her wait
any longer so at 11:00 p.m.
I called a cab for us and we went
to the emergency clinic.
After discussing several ways to give her a bit more time -
hours - days at the most - I felt
I just could not force her to go on for my sake.
We talked and talked and cuddled
and she drank lots of water
and then the vet very kindly released
her at 1:30 a.m. on the 9th
She was only with me 18 months
- another of life's throwaways -
whoever abandoned her at
that farm in Brooks abandoned a treasure!
she has left a huge hole in this
house and my heart.

BAILEY
GOODWIN
To Rainbow Bridge the week of
August 7th, 2006
It's been a while since I've posted,
but I've been lurking on here for a very
long time. I am finally
signing off after the passing of my beloved diabetic girl late last week.
Bailey was a 15 year old chocolate
lab with an amazing spirit who fought until the end.
She was diabetic for almost 9
years, had pancreatitis, hypothyroidism, her cataracts removed
5 years ago and a myriad of other
associated diseases. I think we saw it all. This group was
so supportive to me in the early
years that I felt the need to say thank you to any of the
old timers still here and to give
hope for long and happy lives for the new ones.
Best wishes to all on this group.

SAMANTHA
VANCE
To Rainbow Bridge October 6, 2006
Yesterday was a very sad day. We
had to put my dear Samantha to sleep. My
heart is broken and I am so sad.
She was with us for 12 years.
... We went home and
my husband and I talked all through
her life and all that she has meant to us.
We've had her since three days
after our honeymoon. We also discussed and all
that she has been through over
the last few years - lots of poking and
prodding for various things besides
the diabetes. We decided it wasn't fair to
make her go through the uncertainty
of the next steps. ...
Painfully, we decided that this
was the time to let her go.She was becoming
increasingly more weak but still
had a little wiggle when I told her I loved
her and that she was such a good
doggie. It is so hard. It all happened so
fast! I wasn't ready. We took
her to our vet yesterday afternoon. They were
wonderful with us and her. It
was very peaceful. I have cried a thousand
tears, and a thousand more trying
to type this - sorry it is so long. Nothing
seems right without her here.
I miss her so much already. ...
I know so many of you understand
to loss that I am feeling. Our ndd, Abigail,
keeps looking in all of Samantha's
sleeping spots to see where she is. It will
be a hard journey for all of us.
Thank you so much for all the support
over the last two years. This group has
been wonderful and so educational
for me in caring for her. She was well
regulated for most of these past
two years. If only we knew what caused this
anemia...

MAX
FRISCH
To Rainbow Bridge on Friday, December
15, 2006
My name is Dawn Frisch and I've
been a member for a while even though I
haven't participated much in the
discussions. I wanted to let you all know
that Max Precious Angel, our little
poodle, went to the Rainbow Bridge on
Friday, December 15th. He
died laying in bed between my husband and I while
we slept. We had stayed
up for 2 nights (he went to the hospital during the
day) watching him but couldn't
stay awake any longer. So he died during the 2
hours that we were asleep.
He had become insulin resistant and
had high ketones. He was
so weak that we were going to send him to the
Rainbow Bridge later that morning
but he died on his own.
He was almost 16 years old and
had been a diabetic for 2 1/2 years. Thank you
all so much for the support that
you've given us through these years. This
list is great.
You all take care and thanks again
for everything. Hug your babies while you
can as much as you can.
Happy Holidays.
Love to all,
Dawn, Ray, John, Max (in spirit),
Comet (d) and Shadow (c)
