Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Trish you are the 1000th post!!!! Wow!
No I have not eaten anything today. I have not been hungry, just numb. I did have a drink of water couple hours ago. I will normally eat in times of stress also, but this is a whole different kind of stress.

I know. It's so hard. We are never ready to let them go no matter what

I didn't eat either, couldn't get it down my throat. Just sat here wondering how it had all turned out like this

Woahhh I did not even realise that was coming up..... That 1000 is for.......

(((((((((((((((BUDDY)))))))))))))

Well as long as you are keeping your fluids up I am happy you are not going to dehydrate from tears and keel over :p

Virtual hugs Kathy.
Since we can't be there in person.

Please know that we are with you in all ways possible and that we truly care as you have cared for us during our difficult/scary times and sharing in the good times too.

Relish the good times and the great memories with Buddy. Our time on earth is short in comparison and you will see Buddy again.

In the meantime, it's time to take care of you now that Buddy is free.
Do what you need to do for yourself and reach out to us when you feel the need.

God bless you Kathy. You are amazingly strong, even if it doesn't seem that way now.

Yeah but he's not here to get it!

EEEK,,,,, I've broken the page :(

Kathy, I normally eat with stress too, but the complete opposite with severe stress. When I lost my Angel Lab Dakota, I couldn't eat for days. I was able to drink carnation instant breakfast mixed with milk, you might try that to protect your stomach, and get a bit of nutrition.

That's better.... you are though and we are remembering him tonight with lots of love xxx

Wow Trish, 1000th post. Yes Kathy, that is for you and Buddy!

Mel are you still there? I am worried about you too. This conversation is bringing up not too happy memories for you.:o are you okay?

Kathy you are too sweet, you don't have to worry precious

I am crying right with with you. You have a buddy shaped hole and I have a Tia shaped hole, am so glad you have something which smells of him, I don't have that.

Tina,
How is Jasper doing?

Awwww I just spotted your signature Kathy, so sweet to be in Buddy's blue colour... he always liked to wear those bright clothes!

He didn't really like to wear the clothes Trish, except for the shirts when he got cold. He was just so easy-going he let me do anything to him. He was the one that slept through his grooming/buzz, remember?

He was a cool customer (until he saw birds or lizards and then it was game on!)

That's right, he did too! That was amazing, the chilled out little guy.

Aww Kathy, you are so sweet to ask about Jasper. He is hanging in there for the most part. His water intake has increased quite a bit over the past few weeks so I am keeping an eye on that and hoping it is not related to his kidney issues. Still trying to get by with one middle of the night pit stop, but not sure how long that will last. Thanks so much for asking about him, I need to update his thread one of these days!

I am in my bed with my iPad. I got up to get something and turned the big light on, so I wouldn't step on Buddy. :(

Awwwww so hard, glad your in bed though.. what is the time there?

Mel, don't you have to go to work this morning? At least it's morning there! It is 12:45 AM here.

7.45pm here, so still early. Just have a wee job to do, back in 15mins xxx

I do, but am working from home today. Already logged on. I have my iPad to speak to you
Xxxx

Well girls, it is 2:55 am here and I need to try to get a bit more shut eye before getting up for work in a few hours. Sorry I have to go Kathy. Glad Trish and Mel can still stay with you now, and then the US morning crew will be along. More (((((hugs))))). Nite all.

I have to nip out in a bit but will be back later on.

Sending you much love

Mel

Hope you get some sleep Kathy, and that Buddy gives you a visit xxxxxxx

Morning crew has arrived. Is there any food left over :o? A bit too early for wine and fish 'n chips, but it is NEVER too early for chocolate!

OK, Kath, you've made it through the first night. Now we start in on the first day. Step by step by step.

Oh Kathy,

I am so very, very sorry! Saw this very sad news this morning (have been sporadic on site - working, working) Know that your sweetie pie will be watching over you always. And, so will we.

Big healing ((((hugs))))
Terry

I am here.

Were you able to get any sleep at all? I know it's really hard because when you do finally drift off, it's like you have to relive things all over again every time you wake up and remember.

I think first morning after was the very hardest time of all for me. Did not know how I could bear his absence and immediately started second-guessing everything I had done. That day is buried in my memory now, but it will never leave me. I will never forget.

Come and talk with us anytime you feel up to it, Kathy.

I am here also, no talking if you dont want to.

Mel

Kathy,

You don't know me, but I spent lots of time here from 2004-2009. "Buddy, the mighty Lizard Hunter" got my eye and I have followed his story. I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Reading that he had crossed the Bridge this morning brought tears to my eyes. Poor little guy.

He's up there now and out of all pain. I'm sure a whole variety of lizards has been provided for his enjoyment.

Hugs during this terrible time.

Hi Kathy,

I checked in around 5am but did not see your green light. I hope you dozed off for a bit.

I sent a short video clip to the Gmail account. I hope you can find a way to post it. It shows Buddy smiling on command. Thanks,

Kathy

It hurts just as much today.:(

I planned to spend my Summer vacation with Buddy. I put everything aside to enjoy what I thought would be our last summer together. I didn't even get that time with him.
Kathy

Oh Kathy, I just saw your video and OMG what a sweetie-pie!!

I've got to run out for a little while but I'll see if I can post it when I get back. I am very techno-challenged, though, so if I can't do it hopefully one of the other Admins can, or they will even do it while I'm away.

What a very precious little boy.

Thank you So much Marianne

Bless his cotton socks, he smiled on command. Would love to see that.

Sending you a big hug

Mel
