Sgt. Peppers has a fatal disease

Hello dears, how are you today?
I'm so, so sad because my big boy has a genetic disease that has been confirmed today. This fatal disease is called FIP, and it's going to strike us to a fatal end very soon.
Because of this, i just wanted to ask you for something, while he is still here for us, if you want to send me any sketch, draw, word or anything for him i will print it and stick it in his "bed" to make him feel all your support, love and care! :-) Will you help me? I need your help!

Big big hugs for you all!! take care...

  1. Genie. My heart is just breaking for you. I wish I had the right words to share that would bring some sort of comfort. But, I know that all too well that time is the only true healer.
    Here is a little poem I've used before to help me in my time of grief. May it bring you the same comfort it has me:

    "I Remember
    I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
    I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

    I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
    "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

    I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
    You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

    I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
    I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

    I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
    I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

    I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
    I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

    You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
    I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

    It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
    To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

    You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
    in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

    The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
    and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

    And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
    I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

    I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
    Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

  4. Madre mía se me han saltado las lágrimas de leer esto... No me puedo imaginar por lo que estáis pasando, chicos. Nuestros hijitos peludos que forman parte de nuestra vida, nuestro mundo, nuestro ser...
    Darle todo el amor del mundo mientras esté junto a vosotros, disfrutad cada minuto en el que estéis juntos, tendréis el consuelo de tener un montón de buenos momentos para recordar y él sabrá en todo momento cuánto amor ha dejado en vosotros.

    Un beso muy muy fuerte para vosotros y un achuchón enorme para ese pequeño valiente.

  6. Dear, when my dog was sick and the vet told us that there was nothing to do anymore I was in pieces, so I understand your pain.
    There is nothing really to say anymore just a hug to give.
    Off course I'm going to send you some drawings.
