There will be a remembrance candle glowing in our house, too. What a lovely idea.
Blessings

Thank you, catbird. I was about to post a reminder of this since I had suggested a while back that a candlelighting might be a way of remembering those dear pets lost to this sad, sad incident. I had decided to light my candle at 7:00 pm my local time, but the time doesn't matter so much as the thought behind the act. I did not lose a pet myself, but I will be thinking of all of you here and everyone across the country who suffered this great loss.

Thank you Catbird.
My husband and I will light a candle Sunday in our home in remembrance for all the babies lost, known and unknown.
And we will hold dear to us that day our dear living pets and give thanks for the joy they bring to our lives.

I think I will put a candle in each window. Or maybe light one candle for every animal I know personally that was sickened or died.

We'll be lighting 3 candles for our precious fur babies that were lost due to long term effects of low level toxins.
Louie was lost on January 31, 2004 to renal lymphoma. He was 4 yrs 10 mos.
Penny was lost on February 14, 2007 to GI small cell lymphoma. She was 13 yrs.
Spot was lost on January 30, 2008 to GI small cell lymphoma. He was 13 yrs.

JustMe, If we want our fur babies added, should we send that directly to you via PM or should we start a topic for our guys in the memorial section? ~kittylyda |

I have received recall alerts from itchmo for the past year but just joined the forum today. Am I too late to post my cat Boots who was seriously affected by the recall last year? They mentioned her in all the newspapers on the day the recall came out since I'd posted elsewhere about her not eating and having eaten some recalled food. When I was interviewed by media then I didn't realize her kidneys were affected (until she was at the vet a few days later) and she'd need sub Q fluids daily forever and would develop IBD in addition to her kidney problems as a result. She is a brave survivor and I'd love to include her in any memorial. Fortunately my other 4 cats who'd also eaten recalled foods (different batches) had not thus far developed CRF.
I really appreciate everything you do here at itchmo. This is a life saving site!
Proud furmom of 5 cats and 5 chinchillas,
Suzy

Thank you so much Just Me! I really appreciate that.  Do I need to post about Boots anywhere in particular or was posting about her here all I needed to do? |
