Mary's Gonna Make It!! WISH Journal (Posters Welcome)

[Lesli54]

Glad to hear that you got the job. Better yet is the lost lb!

You are doing so well and just think, with the other job, you won't have time to be bored and overeat! As far as fitting in exercise, I know you will as you are a great exercise fiend.

Have a great trip visiting the relatives.

Hi everyone...it's been a few days since I've updated this. I was feeling really out of it last week and running a slight fever through most of the week so I just took my off time to rejuvinate. We went to Tennessee over the weekend and on our way home yesterday, one of my guinea pigs (Smirnoff) passed away in my arms. We were only 90 miles away from home. Wes & I are taking it pretty hard because we just watched him die as I held him and we felt pretty helpless. He was still a baby...would have been 8 months next week. His brother, Eggnog, is grieving...wouldn't leave his side last night and he wound up chewing a piece of Smirnoff's fur off and has been laying on it all day today. I've just been miserable all day today and have been crying all day. I'm holding Eggnog a lot since he's been pretty listless. The times he does move around is to look for Smirnoff. He was crying out for him earlier this evening. Ulysses doesn't really unnderstand what's going on...but then he was in a separate cage from Smirnoff. I moved Ulysses in the cage with Eggnog so that Eggnog would have someone to cuddle with. We buried Smirnoff this morning at 2am with a few of his favorite treats, a clipping of Eggnog's fur since Smirnoff LIVED for Eggnog, and one of my shirts wrapped around him so that his Mama would always be holding him.

Please keep us in your prayers. There's an overwhelming feeling of guilt that's been hanging over me today. All the "what ifs" keep going through my mind, I keep kicking myself for things I either did or didn't do, things I should have known but didn't...it's just piling on me. And Eggnog, bless his heart...he is hurting too. I cut a piece of Smirnoff's fur to keep and put in a "pet scrapbook" that I've been making and I brought it out to Eggnog and he just rubbed his face all over it and cried out.

I'm just not doing well at all.

Oh, WISHsis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry! I really don't know what to say to you. I can say I know what it feels like and anything else I say won't make you feel better. It makes me wanna cry because I know I could NEVER live without my kitty baby Aero.

I'm really sorry, WISHsis. But know I'm here for you.

Oh Mary! I'm so sorry about Smirnoff. Remember the joy he brought to you and take care of that little Eggnog. I'm thinking of you guys.

Oh, Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are feeling. I am so glad you were with Smirnoff and didn't just find him in his cage. Poor Eggnog -- that sweet baby is going to be okay, though, and I am so glad you put Ulysses in his cage so that he won't be too lonely. I am a furbaby's Mama too (my cairn terrier, Cali) and I can really appreciate the void that there must be in your life right now. I hope that in time your happy memories of your baby will be bigger than the grief you have to suffer now.
I will be thinking of you.

Hi, Wishsis. Hope you're feeling better today. I'm thinking about you. I really don't know what to say other than I know what it feels like and I know I'd feel absolutely terrible if I lost my furbaby (Aero kitty). I'm thinking of you! I'm right here. I really wish there was something I could say to whoosh all your tears and pain away, but I can't. Only time can heal that pain. I'm sorry, WISH.

Mary, I felt so bad for you reading your post. Pets are a huge part of our lives and I can't imagine what it must have been like to have one die in your arms. Lots of hugs to you. Be kind to yourself and let yourself cry when you need to. Take care.

Hi Mary
I'm so sorry about your guinea pig, Smirnoff. I had a cat named Denver one time. He was probably about 6 or seven years old but he started making a coughing noise alot. We took him to the vet and he said that Denver had lung cancer. They had to put him to sleep. I remember it was a very hard thing to do b/c he was my most favorite cat. I hope you will feel better soon.

Sending prayers your way
