Kimberly posted a while ago about Merlin. At that point, the Travelling Vet had thought there was a reasonable possibility of him being ok for a while longer, but she wanted him to get an X-Ray because of some things she heard, which he just did.

Unfortunately, that showed congestive heart failure. They drew off 60cc or so to make him more comfortable but said that he's got 12-24 more hours to go.

Ted and Kimberly are bringing him home now and we'll figure out the last step from there.

Thank you all for your love and thoughts over the last couple of days. We'll all be needing your hugs in the time to come.

I haven't posted yet, darlin', but I've been thinking of you and yours since word first came over the wire.

You have my hugs, my best wishes, my loving strength and my total understanding. I know this journey all too well.

I wish Merlin peace and rest. He's been a stunning fighter and a joy to know, however indirectly.

Please add my hugs... I know you'll miss him, but he lived a nice long life with a great family and he'll pass to kitty heaven with you all around him, so that's as good as it can be.

I think I know pretty well what you're going through1 and you know my heart goes out to you folks. Just be there with him as he needs you right now, and remember him always, in sickness and in health, etc. *hugs for all*

I thought this might brighten your day--

Erika saw this picture on my computer screen, got a big smile on her face, pointed, and said "da-ta", which I suppose is a reasonable approximation of "katze".

*hugs* Best wishes to you all.
