In memoriam...Mr Fish!

[Betsy]

How old was Mr. Fish?

It sounds like congestive heart failure. My dog was 17 - smaller than a cat in size. She had the same symptoms of your cat...difficulty breathing...yacking up stuff.

The vet said it was her age...and her heart couldn't keep up. She was in stress and it was so painful. We had the vet put her to sleep and we held her and took her home, wrapped in her favorite blanket. We saw the biggest rainbow that night on the drive home. It was a double rainbow and arched all the way across the sky.

It was a comfort...like her spirit was still with us...but like the rainbow, the spirit had to fade, and we had to say goodbye.

I hope that you and Renee find some comfort in a symbol or something connected with Mr. Fish. When I see a rainbow, I think of Shelbie and smile.
