Anna Chevelle
May 01, 2000 - July 03, 2012
I've been dreading this post since we found out last week that Chevelle had cancer. She had been completely normal until June 22 when she suddenly stopped eating. We brought her to the vet on June 25th and after labs, x-rays and an ultrasound, she was diagnosed with masses in her liver and abdomen. Nothing could be done and we were sent home with anti-nausea and pain meds. We had been assit-feeding ever since, hoping she would regain her appetite at least to stay with us a little while longer....that, unfortunately, never happened. One of the hardest decisions of our lives..... We had to let her go to be at peace and pain free. She left us this morning. She is now reuniting with Cal and that gives me comfort.
Since the diagnosis, we'd spend as much time outside as possible. When she was outside; walking through the grass, rolling around on the concrete, she was the happiest.
I'll love you forever, I'll miss you for always.
As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.

I am so sorry to hear about Anna Chevelle. I know how devastating it is to get a terminal diagnosis and the struggle with all the questions. She told you when it was time to let go so you made the hardest decision any pet family cam make. She is no longer in pain but is reunite with Cal.

I am so very sorry to hear this. So very very quick indeed.
One blessing about knowing the end is coming is that precious time you have enjoying what you have. Em wanted to spend time outside as well at her end, and all these years later I remember that fondly.
May time ease the pain and make the sweet memories stronger then the tears.
Poor Chavelle! And so beautiful! We are so very sorry to hear this. Safe journey to the Bridge, beautiful blackie!
PURRS,

Chevelle's story is the same as my Lautrec's story was...6 months later....exactly the same way and loved, surely, exactly the same! Brings so many tears to my eyes to read your story and see the parallel with mine..ours...The only comfort is knowing that they no longer suffer. I just hope that one day I will have him in my arms again when I am also 'over there'. Until then, we love their memory, their spirit and we continue to love and talk to them. At least I know I do. A huge gaping emptiness in your heart. I believe that my Lautrec's spirit lead me to our new baby who is so adorable...your Chevelle, too will lead a new baby to you, surely. Sending you warm, loving thoughts. Purrs and woofs from Weezdabadcats and Dameendawgs
We are sad for you but happy that Chevelle had such a wonderful family to spend her life with.
Mom and I are so very sorry to read of Chevelle's crossing. She was truly well loved.

Mario's mom here - I'm so very sorry for you loss. Getting a diagnosis like that out of the blue and then having to make decisions is a horrible thing to go through. But I hope you find some comfort in knowing you gave Chevelle a loving, caring, final gift by helping her cross the bridge so she would not have to suffer. A big Hug to her human(s). We know how difficult it is to make those decisions.

We came as soon as we heard the news about Chevelle. We are joining paws in a purr circle and surrounding you with the most comforting and heartfelt purrs we can purr. We so understand what you are going through. Our angel Lewis developed cancer suddenly...he hid it for so long and then there was nothing we could do but love on him and let him go. ::bows head in honor::
Rest in peace Chevelle.

I'm sorry to read this. She will always be in your heart and what a fortunate girl she was to have your love. So many don't experience that and you should feel comfort knowing that she was one of the lucky ones. I know you are hurting and you will miss her. Hugs, Deb
We are so, so sorry to hear that your sweet Chevelle had to run to the Bridge. This sounds so similar to what happened with our Maggie, who went there last year. Surely Maggie was there along with your Cal to welcome Chevelle when she arrived.
We send you much love, and gentle purrs and prayers of comfort.
We are so very sorry to hear that Chevelle crossed the bridge today. We're sure Sweet Praline was there to greet her.
We're sending comforting purrs for you. Mom Paula sends her thoughts and hugs.
I am so very sorry about Chevelle. I am sure that she found Cal right away and the two of them are playing in the grass at the Rainbow Bridge. You made the best, though hardest, decision that a pet parent can make.
I just found your blog, and such sad news. Yet, OTRB is joyous for all cats, dogs and aniFamily. And there we await you, our treasured peeps. We will all run free together. Bless Ms. Chevelle. Paw pats Savannah

I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful Anna Chevelle. I do know what you have been going through about sudden cancer as my sweet baby boy Casper died of the same thing in May because of it, although his was in his mouth and along the jaw bone. My prayers are with you in your time of grief. God Bless.
I'm so very sorry and saddened by this news. These past two or three weeks, it seems like so many blogs I visit and enjoy have had to go through this same devastating heartbreak. Your Anna Chevelle was such a beautiful, beautiful cat - she looks so much like our Phillo. I held him close to me much longer than he usually 'allows' me to - I think he sensed that a 'fur sister' of his - even though they've never met - had passed over to the Bridge, and he was trying to let me know that your Anna Chevelle is no longer in any pain, no longer suffering, and that she knows how much she was so very loved by you.
I will light a candle for you, and one for Anna Chevelle, to help her find her way to the Bridge, where she'll be running free, happy, healthy.
My condolences for your loss. Take care of yourself - I know how painful this is, as do all of us who've lost our beloved furbabies.

sad!
SO sorry for the loss of your beautiful house panther, Chevelle. We send gentle hugs and soft purrs to you all. Run free, sweet Chevelle!
Laura & Taffy
We are so sad to hear about Chevelle. We have read several postings recently relating similar events. Losing a dear pet is so terribly painful. Our mom is getting all leaky-eyed writing to you, because she remembers that pain.
Purrs, Lucy and Skootch
We just stopped by to see how you are doing. We are purring fur you every day.
Dana, I'm just now seeing this after seeing on FB that Maya passed today. I lost two of my black bottle-fed babies to liver cancer. I had no idea that anything was wrong until a few days before they died. The passed 14 months ans one day apart. It's so unfair. :'(
