I am so sorry to hear about Simon, ...Dear Shannon,<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear about Simon, your wonderful companion, kid and friend. You are such a wonderful Mum to him and of course he knows how much you love him and that you are doing everything you can. Having lost a pet to cancer, I can say that the final injection was heart wrenching but a great relief that my darling pet would not suffer any further.

He had some more time with us where he got lots of adoring attention. When the tumor progressed too far the vet was able to come to our house, for which I am very, very grateful. Simba was on my lap, being petted, when she gave him the injection. It was very peaceful and loving and that is the memory I have of his final days. <br /><br />SusanSusan from the Pacific Northwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910439859917160063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-55402433999222279252010-07-09T13:14:47.292-04:002010-07-09T13:14:47.292-04:00Oh Shannon, I am so sorry.

I've been facing it too, with a cat I've had since I was 12, and I know how hard it is.

You and he are lucky to have loved each other so much- (and he knows it!) celebrate your time together! There will be time to be sad later... <br /><br />And Anonymous of June 26th 9:42 pm- I don't know if you meant it to sound this way, but you really seem to be kicking Shannon when she's down. Subtly implying that this is somehow her fault. It is NOT her fault, no matter what medication she did or did not use on Simon. She was the absolute best Mom to Simon that she could be, and did everything within her power to make his life the best it could be. Just read her posts about him. Great of you to try to spread your word about flea and tick medication, but this was NOT the time or the place for that. Sorry, that's just my two cents. <br /><br />Shannon, wishing you strength, peace, and a lot of quality time with your sweet fur boy-ReaderRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576827544980249236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-92168954368503104492010-06-26T21:42:40.175-04:002010-06-26T21:42:40.175-04:00I am so very sad for you and Simon.
