I have some of my Lolita's beautiful multi-coloured fur in a special leather box. It is wonderful to take it out every so often and feel her against my cheek again. Keep posting honey - let us know how Eggnog is doing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/3#post-422349 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:26:29 +0000 Tigerlilly 422349@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>:) Hugs Kay and Kurt, and Eggnog. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/3#post-422344 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:07:57 +0000 KaylynSueG 422344@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It's here, :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19465." rel="nofollow">http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19465.</a></p> <p>Ah you beat me to it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/3#post-422343 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:07:45 +0000 Tigerlilly 422343@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>...just found it </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/3#post-422341 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:05:27 +0000 Tigerlilly 422341@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Back after computer crash....are we still waiting on the details of the chipin page? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/3#post-422284 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:38:21 +0000 WillowandWindismom 422284@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sending the famous TDK prayers for Eggnog, and for you and Kurt. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422276 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:25:56 +0000 KaylynSueG 422276@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you Cathi and KM for your well wishes for Eggnog. He appreciates them. He isn't drinking right now, but he's still chowing down on AD so that's good at least.</p> <p>And thank you all soooooo soooo soooo much for your contributions. Truly, every penny is appreciated more than you could imagine. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422249 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:33:21 +0000 eleniki 422249@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm in too. Thanks so much for organizing this guys. It's so great to be able to do something as well as write words, important as they are too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422238 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:19:25 +0000 kittymom 422238@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, Kay, I can't believe your Eggnog may now be in jeopardy ~ I will send prayers and healing white light for him. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422226 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:28:55 +0000 cathi in nc 422226@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh no! I hope Eggnog gets better soon! {{{hugs}}} </p> <p>I'm glad you got the lower interest rate! That helps a lot. I will save your chip-in page to my favorites... I'm one of those people who would rather do smaller donations. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422182 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:40:44 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 422182@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And we're off and running! Well done Kay, the page works perfectly. Nothing will ease the pain you and Kurt are going through right now, not in the short term anyway, but I'm glad you're getting the comfort and support you need from TDK. This is the best and fluffiest and kindest site on the internet! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422178 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:37:09 +0000 KaylynSueG 422178@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you all again...so much. I am brought to tears nearly every time I check back here at TDK and see the all the generous words written by all of you. It means the world to me.</p> <p>And thanks for the idea MCW, I did post it in a new thread. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422171 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:21:27 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 422171@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>...might be an idea to start a new thread for the chip in page too, so the link to the page is at the top &#38; easy to find. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422164 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:56:42 +0000 iliketea 422164@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh my, this is so sad. Count me in as well. You two are people for doing what you did! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422160 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:51:14 +0000 Jetta and Boo Boo's Mom 422160@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Great idea, MCW! Times are hard right now but I do have a three pay month in October and that would give me a bit more breathing room for "extra" things in my budget. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422157 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:47:13 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 422157@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wow, you guys have been busy! KW thank you SO much for steering this, I owe you a drink in Austin! My thread and you end up doing all the work - what a star you are!</p> <p>Kay, thank you for your email earlier, I will reply, but it may well be tomorrow. I'm sorry to hear Eggnog's now under the weather, but at least he's older and stronger, I'm sure the antibiotics will do the trick. </p> <p>I'd put a 2 or 3 month time span on the chip in page, as some people may like to do a few smaller donations rather than one hit, and others may not have funds this month, but might in the next couple. </p> <p>Love &#38; hugs to you both :o) And scritches to Eggnog! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422152 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:41:01 +0000 Jetta and Boo Boo's Mom 422152@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And you know, like many I can't contribute as much as I would want to, however, I have lots of friends who loves kitties and I know they would contribute, too!</p> <p>So sweet that you have that memento of your baby.</p> <p>White light for Eggnog, too.</p> <p>Continued thougts and prayers for both you and Kurt.</p> <p>Bless you both. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422147 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:32:09 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 422147@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I think you should put the amount in ($2,448.00). We may not be able to give that much, but it is something to shoot for. If there is a way to set the "I need it by" date out a ways, that would help. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422145 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:29:47 +0000 KaylynSueG 422145@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you CM and SM for your prayers. Eggnog just started sneezing a day or so ago, and hopefully it'll clear up with antibiotics and everything, or at least help him feel better while the virus runs its course. We have a vet appointment for tomorrow, so fingers crossed that he's fine. I can't imagine something happening to Eggnog, not after everything we just went through with Parfait.</p> <p>I'm in the process of setting up the chipin page, I need Kurt to get home from school, he should be here any minute, so he can help me with part of the bank account info I need to set up the paypal account that chipin needs to have access to.</p> <p>I'm not sure what I should put for the "I want to raise" and "I need it by ___ date" though. Should I just leave the amount blank, seeing as Kurt and I have no expectations from you all as to how much or how little you are able to contribute. Your thoughts and prayers have already been so amazing, we really don't expect much financially. However little you are able to help is all the kindness in the world.</p> <p>So Kurt should be home soon and I'll get that set up. Thank you all so much, a million times over. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422143 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:28:42 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 422143@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am so glad the vet gave you that memento of your baby. I have Missy's pawprint also--I took it after she died before I brought her in for cremation. I had a kit saved for each cat, just in case. I look at it from time to time and it brings me comfort--I feel close to her. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422140 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:25:27 +0000 Cats4Cats 422140@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm just catching up on all this (and trying not to cry in my office), I'd like to help a little, so when the Chip-In page is up, would someone post a link? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422137 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:19:31 +0000 SoxsMom 422137@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Will the chipin page be posted here? I am so sorry that Eggnog is showing signs. I am praying that they caught it early enough to help him. Prayer to the family. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422124 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:59:58 +0000 cricketsmama 422124@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Kaylyn and Kurt, I am so sorry about Parfait. I cry when I read and think about that precious baby. I hope we can help you shoulder some of the expenses. Sending you hugs and prayers. Scritches to Eggnog and I hope he is okay! Please keep us posted. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422104 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:27:12 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 422104@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I just spoke to Kaylyn. She and Kurtis have decided to go with CareCredit for the whole bill so they don't lose the better interest rate. I asked her to create a chip-in page for the amount of the bill (to include the $300.00 they paid in at the beginning). The total will be $2,448.00. Each of us can contribute what we are able to help pay down this loan. </p> <p>It seems that even more expense is being visited on them because Parfait's big brother, Eggnog, is now showing symptoms of having a URI, likely contracted from his exposure to Parfait. They will be taking Eggnog to the vet today or tomorrow.</p> <p>(You beat me to posting, Kaylyn! :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422103 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:27:10 +0000 KaylynSueG 422103@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well I just got off the phone with KW and let her know that I informed Brianna to go ahead with the Care Credit to save us losing the lower APR.</p> <p>The total bill is $2148.00. We're actually glad it went just over the $2000 mark so that we could get the lower rate, and are able to pay it off over a longer period of time.</p> <p>KW suggested I check out the chipin site and make a chipin page. I've never had any experience with it, but I'll see if I can manage figuring it out.</p> <p>Thank you all so much. And thank you again KW. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422092 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:15:42 +0000 2bpurring 422092@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks KW...that is quite a jump in interest rates. Please keep us posted on what they choose to do. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422090 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:07:33 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 422090@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Please hold off on sending payments. I just got off the phone with Brianna, the account manager at Winter Park Veterinary Hospital. CareCredit is offering a 13.9% interest rate payable over 48 months for amounts over $2,000.00. Parfait's bill is just over that amount. If it is less $2,000.00, the interest rate jumps to 29%. The account manager is going to call Kay and Kurt to see if they want to go ahead with CareCredit. If so, we can then set up a chip-in page for Kay and Kurt to use to pay down the loan. I asked her to have Kay call me so we can proceed in the way she and Kurt would like us to. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422039 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:09:44 +0000 CSBM 422039@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WINTER PARK VETERINARY HOSPITAL<br /> 1601 Lee Road<br /> Winter Park, FL 32789<br /> Phone: (321) 282-3604 </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422026 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:59:45 +0000 2bpurring 422026@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I too would like to help with what I can. Many of us here know the heartbreak that you are feeling right now. I also understand how it can be much harder on the men who feel obligated to fix things that are broken, and when it is beyond their ability they take it very hard. Hopefully when the time is right, you will fill an empty spot in your hearts with another kitten who needs a family. I know that when we lost our Mr.Bug, it was only a week later when someone asked me if I could give a home to a little kitten. Blackbeard (my avatar) did an amazing job of helping to heal the hurt. Although no kitty could ever take Mr.Bugs place in my heart a kitten does bring a certain joy into a home. For now Eggnog will give you comfort. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19421/page/2#post-422018 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:47:06 +0000 corzak 422018@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>**Crying after reading about Parfait's pawprint** I'm so glad they did that for you. Also didn't realize/had missed until today that you do have Eggnog to help comfort you! I would also like to make a donation...I'll keep checking back to see how. </p>
