I really have enjoyed you modding this place Nam. The experience really has been so awesome and made this place so unique. It’s really just made things feel nicer, even with drama and all. I’ve enjoyed being able to have an interaction with you, getting to read your opinions and statements, and of course your sage and long winded advice, in a way that places like DA just don’t allow for.
But what ever you need to do for yourself. I’d much rather have a happier Nam and lots of state of the chicken postings then stressed out Nam.
So good job and a much over due pat on the back, and have a fiiiiiiisssh. You are a very much liked and looked up to person, don’t forget that.
* nods head *
I couldn’t say it any better.Question though, Who will be the next Mod?
Oh don’t worry about it I know how things can be. Do you know a Barry Kulchisky? If so shoot him/her an e-mail about this guy. Just say your selling this guy and you had bought him from me and such. I think Barry would be interested in this one.
thought I’d add another photo :3
By toshiami at 2011-08-19Well.. there have been quite a few new developments over the past few days… turns out they didn’t have leukemia it was panleukopenia.
The prognosis on wikipedia is
Prognosis
Of affected kittens that are two months or less of age, 95% die regardless of treatment. Kittens that are more than two months old have a 60-70% mortality rate with treatment and a nearly 100% mortality rate if not treated. Adult cats have a 10-20% mortality rate if treated, and an 85% mortality rate if not treated. Elderly cats have a 20-30% mortality rate if treated and a 90% mortality rate if not treated.
It’s a very aggressive virus that is basically avoided by the getting the distemper vaccine. I’ve now learned the rest of the litter the woman had left over, have all died now. Still none she had were seen by a vet… she said she had an appointment set for Monday. I’m so disgusted right now with the whole situation, but I guess even with treatment… none of them probably would have made it. It’s all just so sad…
These kittens where not around your cats, right?
I’m very sorry your in this situation.
EDIT: I just read through the whole wikipedia! That is the worst feline virus I have ever heard of! I think in the case of those kittens it was a kinder thing that they where put to sleep.
So pretty! Wise choice in the use of the green interference on him to. Very nice.
there is green on some of the gold to, but my camera refuses to see it. Also the bit that looks white on the last photos should look like interference green.
Hey :D, This is my latest dragon this one is a revision of my ruby embers scheme. I wanted to give it more depth and detail. I think I call this one Embers so it has a different name.

By toshiami at 2011-10-14It sounds to me like you did your best, too. Feeling like you didn’t is only natural, though. I’m not going to say that feeling will fade quickly, but it will eventually.
It might make you cry (tears are therapeutic!), but here is a poem our vet had framed on the wall in his waiting room about this :
IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.You will be sad, I understand.
Don’t let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day, more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.We’ve had so many happy years.
What is to come can hold no fears.
You’d not want me to suffer so;
The time has come — please let me go.Take me where my need they’ll tend,
And please stay with me till the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I’ve been saved.Please do not grieve — it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We’ve been so close, we two, these years;
Don’t let your heart hold back its tears.— Anonymous —
This is a truly beautiful poem, I thought I could cry anymore today but this just had me balling all over again. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry to hear that about your kitty… 🙁
Don’t ever feel like you didn’t do enough for her! From what you wrote, it is as clear as day that you cared deeply for your little furry friend and you really did all that you could for her.
When you realized she was having problems, you took her to the vet to try to cure whatever was ailing her. …When her vet wasn’t able to fix her illness, you did everything you could to ease her pain for as long as you could. You gave her all types of medications. You created the best, most softest possible food for her to eat with ease. You gave her your support and your “Love”. You gave her everything she could have ever want during this time.
Since you held her so close to your heart, you and your family were fortunately able recognize her daily chronic discomfort. And you knew that there was only one other way to ease her pain completely… And I’m sure she thanks you for that. She thanks you for the time you were able to spend loving her and providing the best life she could ever want. You made this difficult decision because you loved her and wanted her to have a life full of happiness. So please never regret your decision. In her life, she had a family that would do anything for her to have a fulfilled life. And you gave her that… <3
Be proud that you were able to give your kitty a life filled with friendship and love…Thank you so much for your kind words! They really help.
