Dear Deacon,

My sweet little boy. I am just so sorry.

If positive vibes could have been a cure, you would have been up and about in no time. You were so loved, even by those who never got the chance to meet you.

Daddy is hardest hit, of course I am devastated too but you and Daddy had a bond. I have known and loved your Daddy for almost 7 years and I'd never seen him cry until you cried out yesterday when the nurse injected you. He loves you just as much, if not more than I do. Your cry will haunt me for a long while yet, it's all I can hear at the moment. :'(

Daddy had to leave because he couldn't bear to see your lifeless body anymore. That final kiss from me was from Daddy too.

He looked to the stars last night and asked if you were ok now. He said Humbug will be waiting up there for you so you wont be alone.

It doesn't feel right watching the TV when you're not sitting on top of it, that was your little spot. So I've decided to pick a photo of you and get it printed all nice and put it there, where you belong.

I'm not in a place yet where I can imagine our lives without you in it, I half expect to see you trotting down the garden or sprawled out on the grass in the sunshine watching the pigeons on the fence.

I just want you to know how much you touched our lives in your short two years of life. You were loved from the moment you came home and you'll be loved forever. I'm just so sorry, I feel like I've failed you.

Good night Deacon, I'll never ever forget you.

RIP. 15th June 2009 - 1st July 2011

My thoughts are with you and your OH at this very sad time.
It is a good idea to get a nice photo of him up. We have done the same in the past when ours have left us for Rainbow Bridge.

R.I.P Deacon and have fun at Rainbow Bridge xx

Thank you everybody. 1 week on, it has just been so weird. I still expect to see him trotting down the garden.

I got his name and a paw print tattoo this week.

Something was wrong mid-June, I knew it http://www.petforums.co.uk/general-c...post1061172367 Why didn't I get him seen to earlier? :'(

Sorry for dragging up a very old thread...

I am thinking about Deacon a lot today. I'm not sure why. I think about him all the time but today just that little bit more. Is it because we lost Pepper yesterday? Is it because I was just reading Jiskafet's thread about Gaudi?

Jiskafet was saying that Gaudi was clinging on to life, wasn't ready to go. I now wonder if I'd let the vet be too hasty. I know wet FIP is a death sentence but Deacon wasn't at the very, very end. He was unwell, sure but he was still eating and drinking and very much aware of everything.

I should have brought him home for a little while, he shouldn't have died on the table at the vets.

I miss you, Deacon.
