Oh no. So sorry. Life is so fragile but we are their voice as YodaMom says. If there is nothing else I do right in this world, let it be that I give them the best life ever with minimal suffering as you have done….hard and painful as that is for us. RIP Ebi. Hugs to you in your grief.

I appreciate all the support so much, it's been rough not having him here anymore, but at the same time he's been declining for a while. Poor Bunny definitely misses him. He was her snuggle buddy and she roomed with him every night instead of with the three other nakids. She ran to be with the others last night, and I think she knows he isn't coming home
It hit me pretty hard last night at bedtime. Bunny ran to the main cat room instead of his room, and I left half the churu on the counter before I caught myself. Seeing his door open past the normal time... it's been all the little things. I gave him Chic fil a for his last meal because I used to throw it to him when we were trying to get him to like us. Even when I was holding it under his nose, he couldn't find it. He tried to get on the bed and splatted himself against the side before he managed to get on it. I know it was time, but it still hurts.
I'm sure we'll end up with another furbaby sooner rather than later because I can't imagine not having one forever, but I can say that I'm holding my nakids extra close.

Unrelated, but on a more positive note, I went to a consult with a fabulous tattoo artist earlier, and May 19th I'll be getting a Lynnie portrait!

It's been a really long few weeks, some of it good, some of it really bad, and I know I have some more highs and lows coming, but hopefully their heart scans go well.

I agree, it's all the little things, the small subtle changes after they have gone that really get you. Thinking of you, a tattoo seems like great idea. (I was thinking of getting my Wilsons paw print tattooed somewhere ,the people at the crematorium took his pawprint , but haven't quite plucked uptime courage yet !)

It's been an eventful day! I was headed to the cardiologist with Lynnie and Bunny and got in a wreck on the interstate. Thankfully everyone was okay, but my car is unfortunately not drivable. My best friend was able to pick us up and thankfully drop us off and they were able to take us late. Their scans came back and were fairly consistent with their previous ones. Tomorrow Baero and Vana get to see the doctor, and hopefully it's a more routine visit.

Good and not so good news. Baero and Vana had their scans today, and the good: Baero's scan is basically identical to his last. Not so great: Vana does have HCM, although it's extremely early stages and we aren't intervening at this time.
Follow up on the wreck- I was a bit sore this morning, but otherwise okay. The insurance process has been an absolute nightmare though. I've filled out the same paperwork about 6 times, they were supposed to arrange a tow and didn't until tonight when they talked to my dad, while we were out with friends which we had to leave to bring a key to the car for the driver. The insurance wanted to tow it to a random address, then have it towed again to a shop, at $170 apiece. They haven't spoken to me since I was on the phone doing the initial report yesterday, and it's just been a very aggravating mess. On top of that, Sunday night I started feeling kinda crummy. Like, sore throat, deep coughing, sinus drainage that makes you feel like you're drowning. It's still around and between that and dealing with the insurance company, I'm so exhausted it's painful.

Insurance companies often seem to have a knack of kicking you while you're down!(we had our house broken into last year , they stole our car keys and obviously both cars, it took so long to sort out with repetitive form to fill out etc) I do hope you get it sorted soon and also start to feel a bit better. Glad to hear that at least you had some positive news about Baeros scan. But I know that the last thing you would have wanted to hear was that Vans showed positive for HCM. It is good that it has been diagnosed early though and I know many here on SL will be able to share their experiences of similar situations (my Wilsons HCM related complications wasn't caught until one day he suddenly showed definitive symptoms)
Thinking of you and sending hugs
