This morning he didn't <br>get out of the lounge chair to greet me, refused his heart pills again, <br>and his third eyelids were showing. He did eat all the food I brought <br>him though - he licked off the spoon as I held it up in front of him on <br>the lounge chair. We did half, then the other half later. I visited <br>with him a lot. He spent most of his time in his lounge chair on his <br>fleece blanket, but once he got down and took a short stroll through his <br>domain. Usually I am in the lounge chair, with Brock on my lap. Such a <br>tired boy; his bone marrow was no longer working as it should - low RBC, <br>WBC, and platelets, and not making new. He had Feline Leukemia Virus, <br>survived a year with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy & CHF, and just recently <br>developed lymphoma. So not fair to such a sweet and handsome boy.<br><br>He received a sedative first and we spent a half hour or 45 minutes <br>together. His paw rested on my hand. As he relaxed, he ever so lightly <br>made biscuits on my hand. He even did his elevator butt routine, but <br>laying down instead of standing up.<br><br>He was only with me a year and a half, but he had so much love to give <br>out during that time, that there is now another permanent scar on my <br>heart. Along with too many others that are still somewhat fresh.<br><br>Dearest Brock, visit me soon in my dreams. I left the patio lights on <br>for your spirit to find the way back to Fort Shappell.<br><br>Marsha<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Felvtalk mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org" href="mailto:Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org">Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org</a><br><a href="http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org" target="_blank">http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
