		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gosh, has it been a whole year?  One year ago today I became an angel.  My kidneys, bladder and nose tumor were just too much and I asked mommy and daddy to let me go.  It was very hard for them, they loved me so much.  But I was ready.  I wanted to fly.  
Today I have a favor to ask of all my furrends meowmies and paw-paws.  Purrlease do not have regrets about the past.  Do not fret and worry about tomorrow.  Live in the today.  Celebrate the life of your babies here and now.  Celebrate their warm fur, ticklish whiskers, soft paw pads.  Celebrate them when the claw the couch, shred the drapes and steal your lunch.  Celebrate them when they shed on your dinner jacket, walk on the counter and rumble a bit too hard.  Celebrate them when they purr on your lap, nuzzle your neck and sleep on your pillow.  Celebrate them in remembrance of  all bridge angels.
All my love,
Belle]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Purrlease help my wishes come true.

Wish #1:
Many of you have read the heartbreaking story of my furrend Eve. I never got to meet Eve, due to the neglect she suffered at Okefenokee Humane Society in Waycross, GA (Ware Co.) Meowmy and Eve's to-be adoptive Mommy Terry, along with their friends, are asking everyone to write snail mails or emails to the folks on the list below. Be polite but ask for an investigation into the conditions at OHS. So far, we have had only one noncommittal reply. You can read my back diary entries for that actual letter. If enough of us write and express our concern for the animals still there, surely someone will listen to us. Please help us bring Justice for Eve!!

Wish #2:

Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight...I wish I may...I wish I might...find justice for my friend Muppet and the FLOCK cats.
http://www.catster.com/cats/624959 - Muppet's page

Muppet is my furriend, and she's a survivor! She was at a huge cat 'rescue' called FLOCK. These cats were left to starve and several hundred did not make it. Muppet was critical but she was so strong and fought so hard to live! And she did! Best Friends Rescue took over and thanks to hard workers like Muppet's wonderful furever mommy and others, the surviving cats had a chance for happy, healthy lives.

Unfortunately, the case against the bad people who ran FLOCK was DISMISSED!!!! I'm going to quote now from Muppet's diary:

"...And on this note, and the main reason for my diary entry, we are asking all of our Catster friends to please write a letter to our District Attorney, Bob Beckett, letting him know how outraged every animal lover is that his office failed to properly see that there was justice for Flock. Although he has filed an appeal, we want Bob Beckett to know just how many eyes are upon him and how he better not let his office mess it up this time! Meomy was told that this case was ‘purposely hidden so the outcome would be a dismissal.’ And in today’s paper it states, “Beckett’s notice of appeal was filed yesterday. Gibson (General Council for FLOCK) said that surprised him because he and Beckett had struck a deal that the case would go no further.” Struck a deal? Humph!!

If everyone who cares about this case could please write a 'snail mail' letter to Bob Beckett, it could really help this case a lot. We need a flood of mail to come in. And thank you to everyone who already have sent letters! *grateful hugs*"

Mr. Robert Beckett
District Attorney, Nye County
1520 E Basin Ave
Pahrump, NV 89060

I'm just one cat, but I speak for so many when I beg you to write to DA Beckett and to those with authority over Okefenokee Humane Society. Sadly, neglect and abuse of helpless animals happens every day. Usually there isn't much we can do. Here is the chance for caring, truly HUMANE people like my Meowmy and Muppet's Mommy to join your voices together and take action! Write DA Beckett, please. Write or email those in Ware County who can help the poor animals still at OHS.

You CAN make a real difference! They may ignore a few of us, but they cannot ignore us ALL.

Bless you for caring! Thank you so very much, HQ, for giving us the opportunity to inform Catsters and Dogsters about these heartbreaking cases. We love Catster!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My dear furrend Scarlet posted a most important diary entry.  She is so articulate that I "stole" it and am reporting it too.  Please dear furrends, it is very important that Angel Eve's death not be in vain.

From our dear Angel Scarlett:

All the Bridge Angels were celebrating today because the Cat's Meow featured our darling Angel Eve!!! Her story has touched the hearts of caring people around the world. Quite an accomplishment for one little kitten!

Meowmy wanted me to post an update. She and Mommy Terry, along with friends and supporters of Eve's, have written to the government officials mentioned below. As of today, they have received a total of 0 responses. It seems Eve's mommies and their furriends are being ignored by those in a position to help improve the situation at Okefenokee Humane Society.

In Eve's memory, all the Bridge Angels are asking any of you who can to contact these people, asking for an inquiry into Eve's case and conditions at OHS. If enough voices are raised, perhaps we will be heard. We'll be sprinkling angel dust for luck!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been a very busy angel!  I now officially watch over three of my bestest BFFs! Hooch, Madi and Flowie!  I promise to watch out for you, to purr for you every day, to visit you and sprinkle angel dust on you and to love you for ever and ever!

It's been three weeks since I have embarked on my great adventure on this side of the bridge.  Mommy still misses me and I caught daddy crying too.  Today I decided they needed a distraction.  I introduced them to two young adult cats.  There were six very nice boys and girls the Humane Society brought to PetCo.  I was very sneaky!  I didn't let them know there were going to be adoptions today.  I sprinkled angel dust on two of them.  One gray boy, Piper, and one orange and white boy, Toffy.  It was touch and go for a few minutes!  Mom and dad walked out with Piper but not Toffy!  Well, I had to smack them with my wings! Then mom ran back in and got Toffy.  Mom  and dad changed their names to Merry and Pippin.  They had never really seen each other before but are getting on pretty well in mom's craft room.
Wow, it's been a long day!  Time to curl up with Jazi, Macallan, Lacy, Tabby. Missy, Bootsie, Angel, Buddie, Wilma and all my angel friends for a good night's sleep.  Oh, now where did my God kittens scoot off too...]]></content:encoded>

She's still pretty sad  I had to make my rainbow journey and being on Catster is a little hard.  So, I am taking it upon myself to apologize for my whole family how behind we are.

Mom brought my ashes home last Friday.  She put my Hazel Lucy collar on my urn.  I always loved cuddling in blankets.  My BFF Madi sent me a HL blanket and collar when I was so sick.  Now I am forever wrapped in love.]]></content:encoded>

After consulting with Sadie and the wedding pawrty, the wedding will be held on Sunday, April 5, 1:00 Pacific time, 4:00 Eastern time. So very, very sorry for any confusion.  :r:r:r:r:r Please forgive.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My sweet little Belle.  I had a dream about you last night.  I brought home your ashes, in the fancy urn your daddy picked out for you.   I put the urn on the floor to let everyone have a sniff. Emma was very interested. She has been missing you the most.  Well, after Emma sniffed you came to sniff.  You were plump and your eyes were bright!  Your tail was straight in the air, with that little curve at the very end going back and forth.  Your fur was so soft and plush.  You sniffed at the urn and gave me a "what the heck is this mom?" kind of look.  I miss you sweet Belle.  I just wish there was more I could have done to keep you with me.  When you gave me the look, it broke my heart but you knew it was time for your next adventure.  Those we love never truly leave us, so long as we keep them in our hearts.  Love you sweet Belle.]]></content:encoded>

Oh diary, I can tell you a secret can't I?  The fur I have a crush on was there!  It's not meant to be of course, he is an earth kitty and has a girl so I am respectful and kind.  But he is so handsome!!]]></content:encoded>

For a long time she had Abba's "Super Trouper" on my page because I fought the CRF so hard.   Thanks to Missy (hurray Missy) I now have Three Dog Night's "Celebrate". Now,  you may think that's a strange song for a new angel kitty to have.  I don't.  Mom and I want every one to celebrate their fur babies. Celebrate and Dance to the music.  Oh Flowie!  Let's dance!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There is an old song I want mom to put on my page.  I don't remember what it's called but one line is "Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music".  It's not a sad song.  I loved to dance.  For the last four months mom celebrated my life every single day.  She  said those last weeks were an unexpected gift.   She said never feel remorse for the yesterdays, never fret or worry about the tomorrows,  just live and love for today.   For this one moment in time hold your fur baby and give thanks you have each other.  Hee, hee, sometimes my clueless mom can be pretty smart.  So, my angel advice for all moms and dads is this:  Celebrate the life of your fur babies.  Live with them in the here and now.  We don't care about yesterday or tomorrow.  We care about right now and so should you.  Love us,  pet us, play with us and let us snuggle in your lap when you want to do something else.  Oh, and let us sneak a piece of cheese or bite of ice cream too.  

Mom started writing thank yous for all the wonderful rosettes but she is getting leaky, AGAIN!  Sigh, mooooom....  Get a grip.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gosh! I leave for the bridge and all heck breaks loose! Shep and Simi followed me today.  I feel so sad for their mommies and their families.   

My mom is a wreck!  Not just because of the angels, but because of a flood!  My town is in trouble! I don't think kitty angels can hold back a flood.  We can purr for all the families and their fur babies though.  We can purr that if people have to leave, they take their fur babies with them.  So far no one is having to leave.  This week will tell.  Mom really wants it to be the weekend because the river will crest on Friday.  My  one week bridge anniversary.  I tell you, my mom is lost with out me.  Shadow and Emma are pretty on the ball but with out me, they are all lost.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my CAT!  Look, look at my beautiful wings!  KC made sure I got the best wings in Heaven!  And KC found me a field of roses too.  Roses are mom's favorite flower.  I used to get my leash all tangled up in mom's roses when she took me for walks in the back yard.  Did you see the wonderpurr Catster page Missy made for me?  

Mommy is still having a hard time coming to my page so all my furrends will need to please be patient.  I want to thank every fur for the rossies and love personally but mom says it brings on too many tears just now.  AND!!!  We need to get back to our Catster groups too! Shadow and I need to be purring in PAWS, Shadow, Emma and I need to get back to our Torties group and Ginny and Quinn miss their Pen Paws friends. Plus, we have tones of p-mail to answer.  Come on mom, get with it!!  Not only that, I need to try out these fantastic wings.  I have lots of friends to visit!  Hooch needs me to make sure he is eating! Madi needs me to share tea with her.  Flowie needs me to dance with her.  I have so many friends!!!!  Jazzi is so patient with me, helping me with these fantastic wings and showing me all around up here.  I am able to see all my angel friends!  Ashley and Wilma and Missy and, and, and!!!!  Plus, I promised Emma I would check in on the Wee One.  Oh, I see Buddie giggling at me!

Mommy, please don't cry.  Remember the active diva tortie, before my kidneys went wonky?  She's BACK!  She is bossy and persnickety and purring up a storm.  I love you mom!!  Now, I need to run.  There are flowers to munch on and angels to fly with.  And so many friends to catch up with.  *spreads her new wings and flies off into the sun*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow.  The rainbow bridge is something else!  The journey was not scary at all!  My BFF Jazi was there and she brought so many friends with her!  Angel and Tabby  and Buddie were there.  And Wilma and Eddie and Norman and Ashley and Issac and China Doll and Sasha and Missy and, and, and!  Jazzi said there were no needles here.  There were no meds here.  There were no vampire vets here.  Flowie, Madi, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say good by.  But you know torties.  When we make up our minds to do something, we do it.  

On Wednesday I started going down hill, fast!  I threw up my food and wanted no more.  I hissed and spit and growled at mom when she gave me my shots.  I have never done that before.  I have only been picking at food the last couple of days.  Today, mom came home from work and saw me sitting in blood.  She FREAKED!  On the way to the vet I sneezed blood globs on her.  Well, long story short, my kidney values were off the chart and my anemia couldn't get any worse.  Plus my bladder was wonky.  It was ready to rupture.  And my nose most likely
had a tumor.  Hare to tell exactly without going under anesthesia.  The vet said my quality of life was gone.  Mommy and daddy were both there to see me on to my next adventure.  I think I will need help learning to use my wings though.

Belle's mom:  Belle spent her last few minutes enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.  It was supposed to be cloudy and rainy today.  Jazzi, thank you for parting the clouds and escorting Belle on her next adventure surrounded by the sunshine she always loved.  Love you Belle]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my stars and garders!
Since my CRF has taken a bad turn my furrends have really been purring. Of course they have always been purring but they have been purring so loud my house is rumbling!  

Guess what?  My dear furrend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=648286&j=t">MADDI</a> sent me the most beautiful bouquet of floweres via Lacey's Heavenly Delivery Service.  Mom posted a photo of them on my page.  I am having to keep a pretty close eye on them as Ginny and Quinn want to eat them.  

That Quinn!  He has decided the tube on my fluid bag is a toy.  Kittens!

I am asking for a big favor from my furrends.  My dear furrend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=624959&j=t">Muppet</b
></a>really needs purrs and prayers.  She needs surgery.  Please stop by her page and purr.

I have been eating like a royal piggy!   Mom is feeding me all sorts of wonderful food.  Tiki, and Catsip milk and all sorts of treats!  She says it's more important that I eat, no matter what it is so my friends, I have been taking advantage of that!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The vampire vets got me again today!  Looks like things are not as hopeful as mom and I were thinking they would be.  My kidneys are not any worse.  They are not any better either.  Mom is still giving me 150 milliters of fluids every day, ICK!   And medicine, ICK ICK!  It turns out that I am severely anemic too.  The vet said they could do a blood transfusion but that would only make me better for a couple of days.  I am not producing enough red blood cells and the transfusion would not make my body start in again.  Mommy said no transfusion.  She said she would not put me through all that.  PHEW!  I'm glad. 

Good news!  I actually gained .2 lbs.  Not a lot but any gain is good.  I have no energy so mom brings  me food.  I have it made!  I relax in my heated kitty bed, my Hazel Lucy blanket over me and mom brings me dinner.  How cool is that?  I got some in my whiskers to day and I spent quite a long time washing.  Mommy smiled at all the washing I did.  Silly mommy.

We are still taking each day as it comes.  We are celebrating life, love and friendship.  Please celebrate with us.  Moms, dads, next time your kitty tips over the trash or plays with the curtains or jumps on the cupboard, pick him/her up, cuddle them, kiss them on top of the head and tell them you love them.  One day they will be an angel and you will be glad you did.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Purrs my friends.
Well, not such good news from the vet today on my follow up blood work.  Dang.  And I was feeling better too.  More energetic and interested in eating.  Seems my kidneys have other ideas.  I am now in the final stages of CRF.  My kidneys are only working at 25%.  The vet said my quality of life is now measured in weeks.  Mom and the vet talked about options and mom is giving me even more fluids and meds at home.  Mom promised me no more spending nights at the vet.  No more cold cages and tubes.  I am calling the shots and when I crash I can make the journey from home.  BUT! I am not ready for that yet.  Jazzi is my hero and she taught me don't' give up!  And as much as I love you Jazzi, I'm not quite ready for you to teach me how to fly.  

Mom said we need to take each day as it comes.  We are going to enjoy life for now, not worry about tomorrow.  Now, now, now, that's what I like to hear.  Give me treats now, give me loving now!  My friends, give me your laughter and funny stories now.  No crying, no sadness,  just love and sunshine.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Belle's mommy here:
I got a call from the vet this morning. Belle is eating and much more hydrated. They will run a test later today on her electrolytes and another tomorrow afternoon on her kidney levels. She also has a pretty bad bladder infection, poor dear. As the regular vet is not open past noon on Sat. and the kidney levels need to be run closer to three, she is headed back to the emergency vet tonight. I'll take her over about 4:30-5:00. All the purrs and prayers are working, I just know they are!

Thank you everyone so much for the p-mails and rosettes! I will be sending out purrsonal thank yous ASAP!

Love you,
Belle]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh for the love of  Pete!  I had to go to the vet, again!  When I went three weeks ago for my routine check up my creatnin levels were really, really high, so I had to wait a bit and go back.  Since I go into such a panic when mom puts me in the cat carrier I get to ride on her lap.  It's pretty fun doing that.  I'm not too sure about the leash and harness though but it's a good compromise.  Mommy is always so nervous when I ride like that but the vet is really only five minutes away.  Well, when we got there and mom put me down I walked into the waiting room like I owned the place. My tail was high and I meow, meow, meowed at everyone.  There were dogs there, I ignored them.  Then to show everyone who was in charge I flopped down in th middle of the floor.  I was pretty good when they took blood.   Mom didn't get the results back today though.  Hopefully tomorrow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Man, mom took me to the vet, again!  Since our last visit in April went so well I thought we were all done with that nonsense.  I've even been feeling pretty good.  Humph!  Well, Dr. Dille said my BUN and phosphorus levels were just fine (hurray) but my creatnin was really high.  It was 3.9 last time and now it's 5.9.  He said it may be a temporary spike or it may mean my kidneys have taken a turn for the worse.  Mom and dad were gone for a few days and maybe I ate the high protean food while they were gone.  I'll never tell.  Anyway, if I did, then the elevated protein would show up.  We go back in three more weeks to see if that's the case or if my kidneys are failing at a higher rate.  Poor mommy.  She's kind of "out of it" right now so I think I'll purr in her lap for awhile.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hee, hee, guess what I did yesterday.  I gave my mom some nice gray hair.  We have a deck above our front porch that we can sometimes to out on.  It has a three foot high picket type fence around it.  On the other side of the fence there is a foot wide ledge.  I sneaked through the pickets and was wondering on the ledge.  What a view!  It's a 25 foot drop to the ground and I was showing off all my acrobatic skills.  Mom wasn't as impressed as I thought she would be.  

I would like to say thank you to the generous kitty that sent me the anonymous rosette!  I love it!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oofta, Mom took me for my wellness checkup just before Christmas and my toxin levals were really really up.  I now have high blood pressure too.  Dr. Dill gave me more meds to take and told mom to give me "treatments" more often.  He wanted to see me in two weeks.  OK, two weeks later (Jan  2) and mom is really nervous. Guess what?  My creatinine levels are the lowest they have been since last July.  In Oct they were 4.2, in Dec. they were 4.7 and now they are down to 3.9.   Unless I start feeling poorly I don't have to go back for three whole months!!!  I've even gained weight, I'm up to 10.6 lbs. Mom, can I have a treat?  Mom said no, must eat special cat food only.  BAH!  Mom, I'm feeling really really good, can't I have just a bite of turkey, pleeeeeeease???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had to go for another wellness check up today.  (Since the check up in August wasn't too good I went in September too.  I lost weight but the toxin levels had stablized. )  I've been feeling almost frisky lately but Mom said we had to go to make sure my kidneys are doing the best they can with the meds and sub-Q fluids.  I was a purrrrfect lady the whole time.  I was good in the car, purred in the waiting room (even though there was a BIG dog slobbering all over) and didn't put up a fuss when they took blood.  Mom's anxiously waiting for the results to come in.  I gained 1.5 lbs in the last two months.  I love the kd wet food Mom has been feeding me and I have to remind her that I would like it more often than twice a day.  I've gone off the dry stuff, gimmy the moist!  It's purrrfectly delicious.]]></content:encoded>

I'm not sure of all the technical stuff but the toxin levels in my blood are way up. Mom was suprised because I've gained .5 lbs and am feeling frisky. Mom said I have to take medicine every other day and my fluid shots are to be every other day too. ICK! Mom is really worried. I purrrrrrred in her lap for a whole hour while she was reading today and she cried. I'm not sure why? Humans sure are funny sometimes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom took me to the vet, AGAIN.  I was a good girl and didn't growl at anyone.  Later in the day Mom was in a pretty good mood then in not such a good mood.  My toxin levels are down.  Probably because I get fluid shots every couple of days.  I've been barfing and lost 1/2 pound which has Mom and the vet a little worried.  I sure wish this kidney nonsense would go away but according to Mom we are stuck with it.  I got lots of brushes and cuddles this evening from Mom and Dad so I'm feeling pretty pleased!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm feeling kind of sorry for my Mom.  Today was the first day she gave me fluids via a needle.  She did a very good job.  I was very brave and didn't meow or cry or try and run away.  She gave me some yummy food because I was so good.  When it was all over all I wanted to do was wash my face but Mom wanted to give me extra huggs and pets.  I let her just because she seemed to need it.  A little fluid leaked out and Emma wanted to lick it off.  Boy that was annoying!  Mom said all of this will help me feel better.  Hope so,

Instead of going back into the house we went in the big, loud moving thing.  When we finally stopped we were back at the Vet.  We were just there!  They poked me and put fluid in me and there were dogs!!!  I deciced to ignore them and be dignified but all the while I was not a happy girl.  We went back into the big, loud moving thing and went home.  I was miffed at Mom.  She let me play outside for a while so I forgave her.  I'm feeling pretty good this evening and am demanding to be petted while she is on the computer.]]></content:encoded>

Does not sound good from my point of view.   I hope Mom doesn't think I'm some sort of furry pin cushion.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm sitting in the sun remembering.....  I used to be a pretty active albet plump girl.  Rubenesque is the word.  My favorite passtimes were drinking out of the tub and putting the run on Doofus.  Then last December I got sick.  I lost all my energy, my fur ceased to be glossy and my figure went away.  At first Mom thought the diet cat food was finally working (she thought I needed to loose weight).  I just kept loosing.  She took me to the vet and the diagnosis was  renal failure.  It was very sudden.  I had to spend about five nights at the vet with tubes and everything.  It was not nice.  Mom came two or three times a day to cuddle and pet me.  I was very scared.  

I was very happy to come home.  It took a while for the other cats to be friendly with me again.  I still don't have as much energy as I did but I'm back to enjoying life.  Most days I feel pretty good but once and a while I don't.  Then Mom and Dad get kind of worried.  

Had to go back to the vet for my first long term check up last week.  The vet said things were going well.  I could have told them that.  Would have saved me a trip!!

I only had to take medicine for the first week I was home and this last check up went so well I don't have to start any medicine again.  Thank goodness, that was pretty icky stuff.  The special food Mom bought tastes pretty good and seems to be keeping things in check.  

Mom and Dad have been reading up on renal failure.  I think they read too much!!  If anyone is interested they really liked this Web site:
