Marina. Frank. Mere.

I'm so very sorry. I'd hoped she would have at least one more summer on the
island to show Mere around.

Don't beat yourself up thinking you could have done differently. None of
can more than try to do our very best. You did.

They just rang. Nikki hasn't gained consciousness and her temp has stayed
over 41 C for several hours now. She keeps cramping, and on the vet's
recommendation, I gave them permission to release her. They asked me if I
wanted to b ethere with her, but since she hasn't regained consciousness
I'm not going. I don't want to have hysterics on the bus. Frank and Mere
are worried enough as it is. Oh, my poor baby girl.

If it's any comfort, most non-human animals accept death as
part of life - it's only humans who regard it as an
inevitably bad thing. I'm sure we all share your grief for
Nikki, but think of her as released from pain and hunting
happily through the Elysian Fields. (I remember your
stories of how much she and Frank enjoy the summer trips to
your island.)

OMG!! I just replied to the earlier post with purrs. I am so sorry. I
am praying for you. This is just devastating for you; I know how much
you love her. I wish I could be there to give you hugs. But I am
crying with you. Blessings,

Marina,

Hugs

I'm so sorry to read this. Please accept our sympathy and condolences for
you all. Nikki was a dear little girl and we're all going to miss her
sweet but feisty nature.

Marina,
I'm so very sorry. I've been gone for the weekend, and just got back and
responded to your earlier message.
It's totally understandable that you would worry about the bus ride, and it
is highly unlikely that Nikki would know if you were there or not.
She is at peace now.
We will re-direct our healing purrs to you and Frank and Mere.
Annie, also shedding tears

So terribly sorry to hear this, Marina. Candle lit for Nikki's safe passage
to the Bridge and comforting purrs on the way to you.
