Thank you everyone for all your love and support. All the sweet words have given me some comfort as I grieve for my baby.
I want to write about the last day with Moe. Writing is cathartic for me, but I don't want to cause everyone more tears. So, if you'd prefer, please just skip this post. Happier days are on the way.
I've cried myself out, and now I just want to remember a day hanging out with my baby.
At 4 a.m. Monday Moe, Kritter and I headed to the emergency vet. Gizmo had woken me up because he was breathing so hard, but he calmed down in the car. He loved car rides.
They took some X-rays, which indicated more cancer growths. Moe got some IV fluids for slight dehydration and a shot of antibiotics for a possible infection. He was a trooper even though he didn't feel good. At about 8 a.m. we left for the cancer vet.
Dr. Susaneck wasn't as concerned with the X-rays as the emergency vet, but he did feel something in Moe's abdomen. An ultrasound revealed what we'd been dreading; the cancer was everywhere. My Moe wasn't going to get better.
We began the trip home with Gizmo in his favorite car position: sitting on my left leg with his head resting on the door so he could just peek out the window.
When we got home we all got settled in bed. The pain medicine Dr. Susaneck gave him had allowed Moe to rest comfortably, and I cuddled with him as we both napped. At one point Moe turned his little head on the pillow to face me and did that little doggie wink. We just looked at each other for a long time, his breath brushing my face and me stroking his back, until we both fell asleep.
He was my cuddle buddy, my protector and my constant companion, and he'll always be my Moe.

You keep writing and we'll keep crying with you. We are all so sorry for your loss. So sorry.
I'm glad you were able to cuddle with him one last time. Puggy and Boston love from my guys to you.
Thank heavens with my cold the tissues are handy!
Gizmo's passing was felt by all of us, he will be missed!
It would seem the time spent with you was exactly what he wanted and needed, quality time with his mama!
Moe was your baby, buddy, cuddlebug. I would like to hear as much as you would like to tell about him.
My friend Debbie also wishes for me to pass on her condolenses to you for Moe's passing. I told her all about him.
Thank you so much for continuing to share with us. So many of us are grieving with you and thinking of you guys and praying for you as if Moe was one of our own. He was very special and touched many lives. We love you guys so much.
My Oscar has started, in the last few months, pulling his ears back for whatever reason, and everytime he does it I think of Moe. Now I will think of him even more so.
How's Kritter doing with all of this?
