Thank you! Hugs, Elizabeth, Angel Whimsey, Merlin, Fancy and Magic  

Thanks so much Laurie, and My4LLMA.  When I wrote this I was very happy in recalling a very precious memory.  Now, a day later, the tears have come.  There is no expiration date for grief. Hugs, Elizabeth, Angel Whimsey, Merlin, Fancy & Magic  

Eight years ago, I adopted a 5 year old purebred classic silver tabby American Short Hair cat. I'd been scanning many, many rescue web sites looking for the kitty who would grab my attention. It had been many years since my last kitty had died at the age of 18, and my heart wanted a kitty to...

I don't mean to sound morbid, but when I got the call that I could come and pick up Whimsey's ashes, I thought, "Now my boy is coming home where he belongs."  If I had land, he'd be buried in the most beautiful garden that I could contrive, but, being an apartment dweller, the best that I can do...

Thank you ALL so much!!!  It has been 2 weeks and I can't start putting his things away.  There will be a time...just not now. I would like to recommend a wonderful website:  www.animalsinourhearts.com Teresa Wagner is a wonderful animal communicator (remember I mentioned that I lived in No...

As you know, Whimsey has crossed the Rainbow bridge. I couldn't have wished for a more wonderful mobile vet. I held Whimsey in my arms the entire time. We'd been cuddling all morning until the vet's arrival. I don't know if the list members know that I live in Northern California which is New...

Last week Whimsey reached a crisis where he refused to eat, hid to avoid all pills, fluids, injections, and had a look in his eyes that broke my heart. It was clear to me that he was saying, "Mom, I've tried to get better for you because I love you and know how much you love me, but I can't cope...

Whimsey had a recheck today with his oncologist and the blood work shows improvement in his cancer cell counts .    He goes back in 2 weeks for another recheck. Best, Elizabeth & Whimsey

Thanks to the amazing professionals at Sage Centers for Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Care Medicine/Oncology Dept. in Cambell, Whimsey has begun chemotherapy and only time will tell as to whether his lymphoma will go into remission. He has been fitted with an E-tube that ensures that he...

Thank you so much for the TCS vibes! Best, Elizabeth & Whimsey  

Thank you.  I will ask about Yunnan Baiyao.  In the meantime my vet has suggested putting a spoonful or two of chicker livers into his E-tube slurry. This last week has been very hard.  I find that I'mI very depressed.  Feeding my darling 4 times per day plus all the meds and holistic remedies...

Hi there, I haven't received any of your replies to my original posting.  I wonder why?  Regarding the study, Whimsey has been on prednisolone for over 4 years, which, I think, excludes him from the study.  As mush as I'd like to help, I'm just trying to cope with the physical and emotional...

I just got a call from Whimsey's oncologist. The results of the biopsies confirm that he has small cell lymphoma. He will start Leukeran tomorrow. He seemed concerned that since Whimsey has been taking Prednisolone for years for IBD and now has lymphoma, that the Prednisolone may be losing its...
