Farewell for now my dear Finnegan...

 

Sunday we put down my big beautiful boy- Finnegan.
I did an earlier post on how I discovered

this summer he had heart disease.  His heart was becoming enlarged and thus not pumping blood correctly.  Saturday I told my husband that I thought it was maybe time to put him down.  I could see how hard his body was working to breathe.  You could literally see the sides of his body working so hard to breathe.   I could also tell he wasn't feeling well, wasn't being social and was hiding in the closet.  Then Sunday morning when my husband went to give him his medications he noticed his entire chest was soaked & wet from him drooling all over himself.

So we made the decision to not allow him to suffer.  

 

 

Even though I knew it was coming it still did not make it easier.  I think the fact that he was  only 4 yrs. old and such a beautiful cat full of so much personality just makes it seem like such a waste of such a wonderful life. 

 

 

I try to focus on memories of him that make me smile. 

 

 

 I know for a fact that he is in Heaven and that although

his life here was short, I will see him again in Heaven.

My younger brother is in Heaven and when he died he

communicated with me after his death through dreams.

These were not normal dreams, but visitations.

It doesn't matter to me if you believe me, for

I know with every fiber of my being that it is a real

thing. I have always been spiritual and able to sense

things even as a child.  Maybe that is why he came

to me to relay messages that other people

had asked in their prayers. I think I was just a bit more receptive.

 He relayed to me many things, but for this post

I will focus on the one concerning our pets.

In one of the dreams he came

to me to relay a message to my mother.

He came  to show me that my mom's

Dog- Early was with him.  I saw Early happily

playing with a ball and was assured that our

pets also go to heaven.  I saw that they become

a high definition version of what they were here.

So intense and full of life they exude color and brightness.

 

 

So I know my Finn is with all my other

departed animals in super HD.

 

 

So for now I will comfort myself with

thoughts of him being well cared

for until we are reunited.

 

 

I will focus on things that comfort me.

 

I will send prayers of Love to

my Loved one's in Heaven.  Meaning people

and animals.   I believe....maybe I

read it somewhere along the way

but I do believe that we can send prayers

to God and ask him to let us talk to our

loved one through prayers.  I think it is

important for our loved

ones to know they are missed and loved.

I believe this helps them

and I do it often.  I also

believe it helps those that

have just arrived to adjust

to their new transition.

 

 

I  believe my calling is to love

and care for animals and

give them the best possible

life I can here on earth.  I am

so very grateful and feel

blessed that I had my Finn

for the time I did.
