He was such a stinky rotten boy
Our baby came home today
I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.
His legs were so chubby and stumpy
I thought you'd all like to see my boy swim. I apologize for my loud voice, but I couldn't hold back my excitement. We had an amazing day and made wonderful memories. I wish we had more time together.
I'll miss these little moments
We will all miss you baby
From our trip to the beach to experience sand and play in the waves today. Never thought he'd be one to brave the ocean. He surprised me with his actions right to the end.
Simon
This is my final update on Simon.
He went peacefully without incident. He took a piece of me with him too. I hope he knows just how much we adored him. We will miss him terribly. We did all we could and tried so hard.
We went to the beach today and he actually swam in the ocean and had fun. He ate so many treats: bandits bites, ferret vite, peanut butter, Ritz crackers, and liver cat food. We made today the best day ever.
I will continue to post pictures and videos from today and some of our favorites from the past. Thank you all for all the love.
Today is the worst day.
We are saying goodbye to Simon at 5:15 today. He is getting progressively worse and today he had bloody diarrhea during his seizure. We can't let him suffer anymore.
So during our final hours together, we are taking him to see the beach and experience real sand. We are letting him eat the coveted Ritz cracker he's always tried to steal, and we are making this day the best one ever.
He is taking a piece of me with him to Heaven. This is the hardest thing we've ever had to do.
Thank you all for all of your love and support the past few weeks. Simon, Chris, and myself love you all.
I just want my baby to be ok. He's had 2 seizures/episodes since his vet visit on Monday. I don't know how to help him. I do everything the vet says and nothing works.
I can't see him suffer any more, I want him to be better. My heart is breaking and it kills me that I can't make this all go away
On a more positive note, Simon had a fun time at the vet. He explored every corner and crevice and made "friends" with the dog on the other side of the door. (He kept sniffing and pawing at the door and the dog would sniff back and whine) At least Simon's happy:)
So we went back for Simon's recheck today.
He's not getting better, in fact he's getting worse. His BG was down to 24 even with all the supplements and medication. Surgery isn't an option for us, nor is it recommended at this time, seeing his age and the fact that he is suffering from more than one thing.
So we just have to keep him comfortable and happy for now and do what we can. The vet assures me he's not in any pain, so it's ok to keep him at his current routine and we can delay having him put to sleep. I'd prefer not to put him to sleep...he's my baby but obviously I would if it was the right thing to do.
So for now we wait and see. If he gets much worse, then it just might be time. But if he sort of plateaus and remains the same, happy mostly and very occasionally off, then we stay on this path.
This has been a rough month for us. Financially and emotionally. I'm praying for the best and the answers I need.
