I really didn't think that I would survive.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
On this 2 year mark of the date that he died, I really want to spend it thinking about all the days that he lived.
I have spent enough time thinking about his death. I have been over every detail of that day thousands of times but it's his life that brings me out of that tail spin.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Everytime.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
My closet is still set up with all of the things that are related to Mikey. Haley calls it my shrine and she laughs because the letter 'M' is everywhere in my room. She laughs because she knows I can't pass up buying another one when I see them.
I cant, it's almost impossible.
I don't see myself taking any of his stuff down anytime soon either.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Seeing his face, his stuff, it makes me not feel crazy even though it makes me appear that way.
His face is just so familiar. When I see his eyes even just in photographs, it soothes me.
Seeing his videos have probably helped me the most.
I suggest you take as many videos as you can of your cat's because in the end, they really do help. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
It's been such a long time already and I want to say it's gone by fast but that would be a lie.
Some days feel like they last all week, especially when I'm really down about him.
It's been the longest 2 years of my life because every day is one more day that I haven't seen him.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
But I'm here. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I'm still plugging along.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I drag myself out of bed most days but I get out of that damn bed.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Most of those days, I just want to hide but I don't.
I get dressed and I do what I have to do for the day even through the tears and all the excuses I try to come up with to stay in my room.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I wish I could bring him back. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I wish he never left. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
But he did leave and he is gone.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Of course he is still with me, he will always be with me because he is a part of who I am.
I grew into this person that I am today because of him.
He made me strong, because he was so brave.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
And I swear I just felt him get up on my bed, no shit!
As I was typing this I felt something behind me , like a walking cat but when I looked there was no one there.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Oh, but there was someone there. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Because I know in my heart that he would never really leave me.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I think that's what actually keeps me going.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
There are some friendships in this life, in any life, that will stand the test of time no matter how long it has been.
There is just a bond that cannot be broken, not even in death.
Our friendship could never die.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
The last two years have been very painful but I've learned so much.
Mikey was my security for so long and it's crazy that I would lean so much on him but I did.
I needed him.
I took everything that I was missing in my life back then and allowed Mikey to fill that void.
He did it so well and it helped me to heal because I really needed him to hold. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I still reach for him though, on those nights when my dreams get the best of me and it's difficult when I realize he is no longer here.
I have found though, if I close my eyes during those moments, I can still feel him here and it's enough to get me back to sleep and onto the morning.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Then I chalk up, another night without him that I have survived.
I feel guilty sometimes for being able to survive without him but I also feel strong and I know that is what he would want because he worked so hard to give me strength. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I have found that I do feel good when I make it through the night because I feel like I am honoring Mikey the way that he deserves to be honored.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
I still miss him though and sometimes this lump in my through gives way and the tears just have to fall.
I'm strong but it still hurts because I miss him so much.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I wanted to let you know about Mitsi, my Mama cat, she passed away in November.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mitsi was pregnant when I rescued her and she had her kittens the very next day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We let her raise her kittens in the warm house and when they got older I created an online adoption application for them and over 50 people applied to adopt them. They all went to amazing homes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I knew from the get that I wanted to keep Mitsi.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
About six months or so after the kittens went to their forever homes Mitsi was diagnosed with severe stomatitis which means her mouth was inflamed, her gums were a dark red and her throat looked like hamburger meat. Her whole mouth was covered in ulcers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The only hope for a cure would be to have all of her teeth removed and it would cost $1200 for the surgery in Sacramento but with no guarantee it would work.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We decided to wait because of the money it would cost and we moved to Oregon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
She was on pain killers but cats don't do so well on long term pain killers, their kidneys usually get pissed off.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Once we moved here I raised the money to have her teeth removed and it didn't cost quite as much but still a lot.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mitsi did so well after surgery but her vet was concerned because her gums were so bad they wouldn't even hold a suture.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
She recovered and we thought she was home free. She was so happy but then it returned and it was worse than before.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
For the last year of her life she has been on pain meds every single day.<br />
She has been mostly out of it all the time. We did have our times though each day when she would be all lovey.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The last few weeks of her life I noticed her weight loss. I figured it was her mouth hurting and her not eating enough.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
But on November 26th she went to take a step and fell over. She had two seizures and she died in my arms.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My heart has been broken ever since.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I just miss her so much.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
You know, when I met her she was a feral cat living under a trailer. I tried to get her many times with no luck but the day before she was to have her kittens she decided to take a chance on me and she allowed me to get her into that carrier.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
She did it for her babies, I know she did. She took a chance and it paid off. She always seemed so grateful.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I really do miss her so much.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This is Mitsi, I called her Mama though because she earned that title.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Back when Mikey was younger, he and I would spend entire days just taking pictures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I know he didn't truly understand what I was doing with this camera in my hand but if I didn't know better, I would swear he knew exactly what I was doing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It was a game to Mikey, I would get down on the floor with him and just watch him play.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I believe my best shots came from that time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He would roll around on the floor and try to get me and then he would hide and I would go look for him and then I would hide and he would look for me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It was so much fun and those memories are some of the best memories I have had in my life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I enjoyed every second that we would spend together.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Now a days at 17 years old, he doesn't play so much but we still spend entire days together, just not with my camera in my hand.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Don't get me wrong, I still take a ton of pictures of him (as you know), its just not my main focus with him these days like it once was.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I guess you could say he is semi retired. Lol</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Instead, these days we spend our time loving.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We talk about old times...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I do all the talking actually and the fact that he can't hear me makes me seem nuts but I dont care, I still ask him if he remembers stuff. Lol</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He knows what Im saying, he doesn't need those old ears.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mikey listens with his heart and he hears mine perfectly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">

I wish that I could just see him run again, like he did when he was young.</div>

My little hurricane as he shot through the house, over the chairs knocking stuff off the tables</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He would hit the stairs at full throttle and it would take him two leaps and he would be at the top.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I would walk into the bedroom and he would peek out from under the bed then he would grab my ankles. Lol</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He would jump from the bed onto the dresser and then to the cat tree and then up to his perch that was made for him that overlooked the entire room, it was almost to the ceiling high.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When he was through with this little outburst of his he would just jump from the perch to the bed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It really is no wonder why he has arthritis now, he was pretty tough on that body of his</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Watching him though was like magic as he sailed through the air and as he would run his hair would blow against him and you just knew you were witnessing how the royals play.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Mikey has a bad tooth and has been suffering with it for about a week. I will be taking him in on 2/10/17 which is when we get paid. His vet wants to do full blood work on him and then deal with his mouth which is going to cost a bit I am sure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
My problem is that Mitsi, my little rescue cat who has Stomatitis and had dental surgery several months ago is scheduled to go back into surgery on the 2/16/17.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I have 2 cats in pain and both need surgery within a week of the other and I am totally freaking out. I won't be able to afford to have them both done so I am asking for help. I have to at least try to come up with it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Right now I have both cats on Buprenex which is crazy expensive. Mikey just started with the pain meds but Mitsi has been on it for months now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am just drained, having two of them going through this at the same time is wearing me out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If you can help, that would be so great but if you cannot I totally understand. Prayers are needed too and I will gladly take those as well. I know some of you have already invested money for Mitsi's mouth and I thought it would be just one surgery but they did not take out all of her teeth like I thought they were going to because of the condition of her mouth which was just awful. Her Vet was having a tough time getting her gums to even hold a suture. So sad.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
She was doing great for a little while after surgery but then it started creeping back because there are still teeth in her mouth... I just want this to be over for her, she has been through too much. This is our last chance because I won't put her through anymore.<span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="frown emoticon"><img alt="" aria-hidden="1" class="img" height="16" src="https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v7/fcb/1/16/1f641.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span aria-hidden="1" class="_7oe" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">:(</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As I said, we get paid on the 10th and will be able to cover most of it, just not all. their vet has been so awesome too, she goes above and beyond for my animals, she has been incredible. She is already giving me a discount on Mitsi and I just don't want to ask her for more after all she has already done.</div>

<br />
<br />
I watch him as he is sleeping, so sweet, so peaceful.<br />
<br />
I wonder if he really knows just how much he means to me,<br />
and how many times he has saved me from the dark.<br />
<br />
I watch him as he dreams, eyes flickering, hearing his cute little noises as he breathes.<br />
<br />
Does he dream of wild things and running through the woods?<br />
<br />
Does he dream of climbing trees and chasing birds?<br />
<br />
I wonder if he dreams of something more....<br />
<br />
Have I been to him, all that he is to me?</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">I rescued Roo from Sacramento many years ago he had been living at his house his whole life</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">but his owner died 2 years prior to us meeting. She was an elderly lady and one night she went</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">outside to feed Roo and she fell down and later died from her injuries.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">The daughter of the lady then moves in and blames Roo for her mother's death and decides to</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">pretend that he just doesn't exist, she kicked him out of his own house.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">When I met Roo, my heart just broke in two, he weighed only six pounds,his mouth was</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">so inflamed from bad teeth, his tongue stuck out and he drooled constantly.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">I decided to rescue Roo and I took him home.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">I took Roo to the vet for an exam 2 days later and their diagnosis was not good,</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">he had been so malnourished that there was not much left of him.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">He had pharyngitis (strep throat), Stomatitis, ulcers inside his entire mouth</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">and he had an enlarged kidney, they recommended euthanasia.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">Ok, well, I don't agree with making any animal suffer but I had just spent the weekend with Roo</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">prior to his vet visit, I looked into his eyes and it was so easy to see that all Roo wanted was to be loved. He was in bad shape but the thought of his story ending this way was too much for me to handle.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">I told the vet 'no way' and I took Roo home. I wanted Roo to experience what it felt like to be loved</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">and cared for, if even for a little while I put Roo on a round of antibiotics and pain medication and hoped for the best.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">4 weeks later I took Roo in to see a different Vet, he then weighed 10 pounds 14 ounces and he was thriving. He would eventually reach 16 pounds which is a far cry from the 6lbs when we first met.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">He still had issues with his mouth but not like before, no drool and his tongue was back in his mouth because the swelling was gone.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">The vet said that Roo looked great, she thought that at some point Roos teeth would need to be pulled, all of them but it would have to be later because he had been through too much already.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">We actually managed his mouth issues for a long time.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">Almost five years later Roo began feeling ill and we thought it was because of his teeth. We scheduled the surgery and they pulled all of his teeth but when Roo woke up from surgery he was blind, he had a bad reaction to the anesthesia. His blindness was permanent.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">I was crushed. All I had ever wanted to do for Roo was help him but there he was so scared after surgery and in pain and I could barely even take it.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">The following days he managed it better than I did and somehow he began to adjust a little to the sight loss., he would even go up and down the stairs in our house.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">He was an inspiration.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">But on November 28, 2011 I woke up to Roo being ill again, this time though, something was different, he sat with his nose to the ground and he just looked defeated. The vet thought at this point there may be a tumor or something and said we would have to do all of these tests but I chose to have Roo put to rest that day. The vet gave him a shot that would not take hold right away,...we lived up the road and I was able to get him there and sit with him all wrapped up in his blue blanket and watch him go peacefully as I told him how very much we loved him.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">You know, Roo walked in to my life when my life was already full and some how found a place</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">that just belonged to him.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">He is was my shadow, following me from room to room and when I would sleep he was under my chin, always.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">He was Mikey's friend too.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">When I think back to the time when Roo was out in the cold, starving, sick and all alone, as people did nothing but sit back and watch as he was slowly dying, I am angered and saddened all at the same time and I am thankful that I am not a person with the ability to just look away.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">I am also thankful that I said 'no way' to putting Roo to sleep that day when we first met, it only reinforces my thoughts that if you listen to your heart, your heart will always show you the way.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">Roo was put to rest on November 28, 2011.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">His presence in our lives is missed every single day.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">Roo’s spirit taught me so much about appreciating life…right now.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">His sweet soul and kind heart will live on…</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"></span><br /></span></span>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It's crazy because of all the scenarios I had played in my head while I was pregnant with my son back in 2003....</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I never ever imagined it would go the way that it went.<br />There was no way to prepare for his death at all.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I was 6 1/2 months pregnant one minute, decorating his room, gathering things that he would need...nesting I suppose.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And then the next minute I was in hospital bed surrounded by nurses and Doctors who were telling me that my son was going to die as soon as he was born.... which was 12 long hours later. 12 hours of listening to his little heart beat inside of me, knowing it would soon come to a stop.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I suffered from a Placental Abruption, oh but I was suffering from so much more.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I held him afterwards for a long time, we even napped together for an hour. I got to put a diaper on him and a little hat and shirt and wrap him in a blanket. They took photos of him for me and before we left the hospital they gave us a little satin box that contained a birth/death certificate (not a certified one but a hand written one), it also contained these little cards with his hand prints on them and his footprints...a Keepsake Box .</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Within a couple of days we were picking out his itty bitty casket and then a plot at the cemetery, his funeral was so surreal to me....I just wanted to go home. My heart ached, my head ached and my body ached...my body did not understand that he had died and so I had all the milk but no baby to feed, it was physically uncomfortable and emotionally excruciating.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">On the way home I remember thinking about the little white kitten that had been following me around since my son had passed on...he had been sitting up with me each night as I cried and following me from room to room during the day.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Through all of the sorrow I was feeling in that moment after the funeral, I felt this little bit of comfort knowing he would be there when I got home...I mean that thought literally took the edge off...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Now, 13 years later I wonder if they knew one another, Mikey and my Son...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Because the plan worked so perfectly.</span></div>

Well....she made it through surgery ok....Thank God!<br />
<br />
<br />
But Dr. Weber said her mouth was in REALLY bad shape.<br />
<br />
<br />
He said it was so tore up that he could not even get her gums to hold a suture. (my poor girl :()<br />
<br />
<br />
So...he wants to keep her a couple of days in the hospital but I barely have enough money to cover the surgery let alone 2 days in the hospital.<br />
<br />
<br />
He said he needs to be able to flush her mouth out and keep a close eye on her. <br />
<br />
<br />
I get that.<br />
<br />
<br />
So back to fundraising I go, no fun no fun.<br />
<br />
<br />
And to top it off I spent the entire day online with customer support for Wepay (donation pay site) trying to fix a problem that I never created. They had things all screwed up but finally came through at the end of the day and got things back together.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am drained. I want to see her so bad. I am bummed she is not coming home tonight. :(<br />
<br />
<br />
I know you have all done so much already but if you could at least share this maybe someone will want to help out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Stomatitis is a severe, painful inflammation of a cat's mouth and gums. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">In most cases, the condition causes ulcers to form in the mouth; these ulcers can involve the lips, tongue, gums, and back of the throat.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> It is an awful, awful, painful disease and the only possible cure is to have ALL of the teeth removed. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Most cats do very well once the teeth are gone. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I want this for her, she doesn't deserve to live in such pain everyday. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I rescued her so she would have a happy ending, please help me make that happen for her. Please.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Donations are at $468. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Surgery cost $800</span><br />
