... mr puddins has left the building
Good afternoon everyone.
wifee and i are sorry to say that this is our final update on our little boy, Chase.
wifee and i are sorry to say that this is our final update on our little boy, Chase.
yesh, it's true. our "Chase" is, in fact, mr puddins... the original inspiration for this web-blog. so, now you know. it's finally safe for the truth to be known. (for those of you who may be new here, Chase's name was originally hidden to protect the innocent. the publc was, simply put... not ready for this much kitten)
Chase was, by far the most amazing fuzzy little creature wifee and I have ever known. he gave us 9 amazing years to cherish. everyone who has EVER been in contact with Chase always adored him immediately; whether because of his alarmingly loud and overwhelming purr or due to their shock at his “plus-size peak” of 26lbs of pure loving cat.
we took Chase home on friday after another 5 days of IV medications, water & nutrients. Chase developed a pancreatic issue after the initial surgery that cleared up (for the time being) his carcinoma tumor that was removed from his liver. contrary to popular belief, the pancreas does not like to be squeezed like a grape or otherwise f**ked with. the ensuing inflammation of the pancreas caused a high fever, complete and total loss of appetite, urge to hydrate and overall effect on his behavior. while seemingly getting over these difficulties at the clinic, upon taking him home friday night, Chase’s overall condition worsened once again.
we took our little guy in this AM for a diagnosis, a shred of hope and were given the tough reality of what we already knew; it was time to let go.
the staff at the our local emergency clinic was incredible. they were so kind.
they removed Chase from our grips to install an IV, so the process would be painless.
then they brought him back for us to say our goodbyes.
they allowed us our time, as much as needed in fact. It was so great of them to allow us to have our space.
it was horrible that Chase seemed to know.

he snuggled in so close to us both and i can still feel his purr run through me.
we knew it was time, but had to do the right thing.
the doctor came in holding a blanket for the table. ('cuz NO one likes a cold hospital table...)

Hey -
SO SO SO Sad to hear about Chase.
I cried when I heard the tale.
My heart breaks for you both.
You're in my thoughts.

Farewell, Chase. We will all miss you. Thanks for the joy you brought to our lives.
I'm only sorry that I never got to hear your purr. Perhaps the next time Hazel purrs it will be a little louder because you are influencing her.
you both gave chasey such a fantastic life - he loved you both so much for it and was able to make your lives a little...fatter :) in such and enriching way. love ya both - kristina
OH B!!!! It is with tears in my eyes I write this to you. Thank you for sharing Chase with us all. He was a beautiful boy.
Much love to you and the other furry creatures you still share your home with.
So sorry for your loss; just know Chase is at the Rainbow Bridge...
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
♥Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together♥
Another thought...
Last summer, after having a heart murmur for over three years, Fressie, (my Granddog) died on our kitchen floor right in front of me, hubby, and daughter. It was a terrible experience; and if we had it to do over, we would have had her put to sleep. *sigh*
♥Rest in peace Chase and Fressie♥.
I'm sure they're playing together right now at Rainbow Bridge.
I'm so sorry. I know how important my pet is to me. This must be a crushing blow.
What a sad story for such a beautiful creature:( I was rooting for him, and the Universe will pay for making you sad. Wishing you strength of heart...
poor kitty. the thought of a pet dying is so sad; i don't know how i'll handle it one day.
my best to you guys.
p.s. he looks like he had a great life. ;)
