Preparing to say goodbye to Bethany

Today I got word about my cat Bethany (pictured in my avatar). She'd had squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) last year, and last week had another biopsy. The results came back with the cancer in 4 places in and around her mouth, plus she most likely has more in throat and stomach, not to mention on her ear and leg. The vet said she's never seen it spread so quickly.

The only medication would be something to ease her pain, as there is no cure. The vet said it would not be inhumane to have her put to sleep, so I will call my vet tomorrow to schedule a time for next week. It's best to do it before I start my new job. (I was so happy about that. Too bad this had to put a damper on it.)

Bethany would've been 16 in May, and this July will be 16 years that I was blessed to become her mom. Although it is not unexpected, it is still devastating. Yet, I am grateful to God for the years that I got to have her with me. Please pray that I will find comfort in that, and in knowing that when she is gone, she will no longer be suffering.

Sandy

* Thank you, sweet Bethany, for showing me the heart of God. Soon you can return to being the angel that I always knew you were, because if angels can take the form of kitties, you, my love, are one of them. *
(No comments about that, please. Let me find comfort in any fantasy that I can right now ...)

Jackie Lee:
I understand Sandy our pets are so important to us.
I will be praying for peace in this situation.

Sandy--
Pets love unconditionally, which is what we try so hard to achieve in life...
my sympathies to you as you go through this heart wrenching experience.
love,
Joyce

David:
You have my prayers Sandy.
We keep Neopolitan mastiffs and horses here, and they are a huge part of our lives. Its devastating when one looses one of them.
God be with you.
David

Robin:
I'm so sorry to hear that Sandy.

I've had my little one for 8 years now.

It is so painful to lose them.

Many prayers.
