Send reply to: felvtalk@MailingList.net Barb, Been there, done that! But it only gives you the description. Seems this one is made of eggs, not cow's kidneys, but it is also a para-immunity inducer like Baypamun. Both are given to cattle and swine prior to travelling and to prevent crowding panics and disease. Barb, there MUST be a similar product being used in the states for these purposes!! Can't you find out from a country vet, WHAT they use to induce para-immunity, and try that? It says on the web-site, what it consists of, no need for translation, a vet would know!!

CANDLE CEREMONY Written by Lisa Singer (lsinger@aol.com) The candles being lit tonight; Cast a soft and welcome flame. And draw our loved ones to the light, As we call to them by name. Imagine spirits taking flight, For a moment our souls entwine. Say not Good Night, but in some Brighter Time Bid them all- Good Morning. WE GATHER TOGETHER TO HONOR AND REMEMBER OUR PETS Tonight, Monday, we join hands, hearts and souls across the land as one large extended family to pray for our sick and dying pets and to pay tribute to our furbabies who have gone ahead to Rainbow Bridge. Someday, we will meet them again, with hugs, tears and kisses, as we walk together, in eternity, to our new home. Until that blessed day, we honor these precious souls and remember them with the warm glow of flickering candles, sending a message of love, light and healing, and the faith to believe in miracles. PRAYER: God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who are tending their ailing pets. Give to them Your strength and comfort. We also pray that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to surround our furbabies at the Bridge. May excitement REIGN SUPREME as wagging tails and ecstatic purrs feel our gentle touch once again. May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered. We are temporarily separated for only a short while. The silver cord that connects us through time and space can never be broken. AMEN. CANDLE 1: BRIDGE FUR CHILDREN Read the names of those who have gone on before us as a tribute to them and their loving parents. As we all meet here, our Bridgekids will be meeting all newcomers, easing their way. Howling Kitty (8/19/98) Arlene Mama Kat Judy Tut (8/24/98) Nan Domenique (8/24/98) Kat I will not look back for there is sorrow. I will not look for today for there is longing. I will look forward for there is OUR tomorrow. CANDLE 2: SPECIAL NEEDS FUR CHILDREN Read the names of all those who are sick, injured, or have special circumstances. Tails (that the treatment to boost his immune system is successful) Randall George (that the treatment is successful) Susan EPC Beatrice (that she remains in good health until there is a cure) Saliha Schurli (that the treatment may really help) Sonja Ninja (for continued success in treatment of meningioma and FeLV) Barb Sophia (for continued good health) Gina & JoAnn Luke four-year-old male (for continued success of treatment for felv and for a good home) Gina & Joann Rissa-Tai (for continued improvement) Pam & Chuck Grey Tabby in Little Rock, Arkansas (felv+, needs home) Cheri G. Misha Chere Together we unite to give thanks for the special pets who have improved in health and strength. We also, being of one heart, pray for the Mommies, Daddies, and little ones who struggle together against serious illness. We remember in quiet reverence the special ones who left us and we pray for the grieving families left behind. And we can never forget all who work to save the homeless and abused animals. Their burden is never light. With one heart, all are remembered and forever cherished by this family of love. CANDLE 3: FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND PEACE In honor of all the homeless, forgotten, abandoned, abused animals. For the nameless little ones who gave their lives for others, for research and as a result of humankind's inhumanity. May the Higher Powers that be forgive the cruelty. We light this candle for them. As our lights shine brightly through the galaxy, may the angels smile upon us, and know that for a brief moment, we have put aside worldly differences to bond as ONE. CLOSING: I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay. MOMENT OF SILENCE. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Love, light and healing to all. Amen. ---------------------------------------- From: "Cheri Gardiner" To: Subject: Re: Domenique Date sent: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 19:24:10 -0600 Send reply to: felvtalk@MailingList.net Kat, My sympathy, thoughts and prayer are with you.

I really don't think she is going to make it through the night. Please remember her also in your kind and loving prayers. Sincerely, Judy ---------------------------------------- Date sent: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 22:55:40 -0400 From: Judy Farinas To: Felv Subject: Ashley Rose Send reply to: felvtalk@MailingList.net Hi everyone, I just joined last week and I told you about the terrible loss that I had last year when my Mama died. Some of you have written back to me with some suggestions for my little baby Ashley Rose. Unfortunately, I came here too late. Ashley is dying. We took her to the emergency room on Saturday and the doctor informed us that she probably has a few days if not a week to live. She doesn't seem to be in any pain so I am opting to let her die, here at home amongst her loving family and her toys. She doesn't eat anything and when I approach her with food she throws up. I guess she's given up on herself. It's just not fair she's only a baby, her third birthday would have been in September. I can't bear to euthanize her. I guess somewhere in my heart I am wishing that the doctors are all wrong and that my beautiful baby girl will miraculously spunk up to her usual self but my brain tells me that I am wrong for trusting my heart. Even though I've only been on this list a short time my thoughts and prayers are for those who recently passed on: Howling Kitty, Dominque and especially Tut. (Nan, even though your heart was breaking you still had some kind words for Ashley and me, thank you). I know that your tender hearts will come for my Ashley shortly and you will guide her to Mama, where they'll both wait for me when it's my turn to cross the rainbow bridge with them. In loving memory of Katrina Marie "AKA Mama" born 1990 - died July 9,1997.

I am so glad you found us to go through this with you. It breaks my heart all over again everytime I read a letter like yours. My left wasn't even a year old when he died. It is so very heart-breaking when we see such a sweet young kitty's life ended by this dreaded monster of a disease. But, as I told Nan earlier this week. I know that the 10 1/2 months Lefty had with me were worth more than 10 years of fighting and sickness on the streets. He lived comfortably and most of all he was truly loved. I will always have those special sweet memories of Lefty. I know in time your memories of your sweet Ashley Rose (what a beautiful name!) will bring you comfort and smiles. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To: felvtalk@MailingList.net Subject: Re: Latest on Rissa-Tai Send reply to: felvtalk@MailingList.net Dear Pam: Guess what? I may actually be able to help with the pill swallowing. The method is- tilt the head back to where the throat is and chin are lined up straight(as if she is looking at the ceiling)-pop the pill in her mouth-rub her throat for about five seconds-then BARELY TAP HER NOSE. Do it about 5 time lightly. She'll swallow guaranteed. Pam, I praying for you both and congratulations on your blessing. Peace and love be with your family.

I wish that somehow I could say something that would ease the pain because terrible pain it is. It is a horrible thing to keep seeing our sweet furbabies taken from us.
