SAD NEWS: Full-Time RV LIFE with a Sick Animal is HEARTBREAKING

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I've been traveling with my cat Big Boy for the last 6 years. He was an AWESOME co-pilot, but he is no longer my cat; he is now a part of everything. I had to let him go while driving across the country, which was devastating and difficult to maneuver.
See you down the road, Boy.

As a feline veterinarian, I promise you did the right thing, and he is still there with you, now and always. Blessings to you and the Boy.
I'm sorry you feel this way. He would have liked to live his life to the end, just like anybody else. But what's done is done; it's sad this is a common procedure. I know Robin loved him and that's all that counts. God bless.
@@bettywith2girls I’m sorry you felt the need to add to her pain. But what’s SAID IS SAID. Robin made the ultimate sacrifice of HERSELF to spare Big Boy of pain.
He was suffering, not enjoying his life to the end. I would want the same for myself, and I plan to make it so. @@bettywith2girls
@@bettywith2girls Big Boy was suffering and most likely in a lot of pain. Cats are good at hiding their pain threshold. It's selfish to keep an animal around for our comfort when they are in obvious distress.
I feel your loss Robin. You did the right thing for big boy. It is never easy to say so long for now to anyone or any fur baby that we love. But that is just that...love is not selfish. Hold on to the great memories that you have of big boy. It will ease your current pain over time.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Robin. Big Boy was such a beautiful cat.
I'm sorry for the loss of your Big Boy, he was adorable. He had a full and rich life with you, and was cared for so much, that much is clear. The most important thing is you didn't let him suffer. He'll always be with you in heart and spirit.
It is always so heartbreaking when we have to say goodbye to our pets. Blessings to you
I'm so sorry. Big Boy is running free now. Someday when you feel your healing is more complete, a new kitty will find you. I had a kitten find me in a WVa campground on the final day of camping. I still have her. I named her Happy Camper. I understand your feelings of loss. Our animals are often better friends than humans. Be gentle with yourself
So sorry about your Boy
I was graciously blessed for 18 years with my Pudgy, miss her greatly
It is very tough
Ahhh😢, sorry Robin. He lived a good life. Huggs❤ he is watching you from above
I’m so sorry Robin for your loss. It’s so difficult to deal with the loss of a pet!
So sorry to hear of your loss! My heart breaks for your pain and your broken heart! I'm a full timer and lost my kitty girl the end of 2021. She was 19.5 years old and had traveled with me for over 9 years. I waited as long as I could before adopting new travel companions. Feb 2023 I found my new companions and adopted them and we've been having some great adventures! When you're ready, you'll find your companion again! Safe travels!
So sorry for your loss. 😥Our pets are family. May you be comforted by all the wonderful memories you and your Big Boy shared together. 🙏💓
I'm so sorry for your loss. As a pet owner my self! It is never easy saying good buy to our fur babies! I'm so happy you got to be home with him and where he considered home to be. And help him transition.
My heart and prayers are with you! And potentially, one day, open your RV to another 4 legged friends, ready for adventure if and or when your heart is ready.
I just had to put down my dog I had for 13 yrs. I thought if I could ask him and he would answer me, "So Trooper, do think I should rescue another dog like I did for you?" And I know he would answer. "Of course mom, if you could save the life of another dog, please do it!" When you have given your pet so much love for so long, your heart might seem empty, but as soon as the door opens up to help the next pet, it will fill right back up, just as it did with the last one.
From a, "I cant" to a "I should. It might take days, weeks, even a year, but if we're willing we won't miss the right one when they come along.
I've rescued animals for over 60 yrs. Each one had it's own season. Sometimes I just knew the animal wasn't mine, but for someone else.
I focus on the joy they brought into my life.
I know the feeling, stay strong. ❤
You loved your best friend so much that you could let him go and be free from his pain. I was in the exact situation as you were with my little girl four years ago. After i screamed for days in pain from a broken heart. I'm crying now it's never easy. Stay strong their memories death can't take. I still have my girl's ashes on a shelf with pictures of her happy times
Thank you for sharing your very handsome Boy with us. I would have handle the situation the same. Losing you BFF is always going to hurt, it’s the evidence that love exists. I look forward to the video of memories of Boys adventures. You’re in my thoughts and I pray you’ll find some comfort in the upcoming days of missing him. He had a great life and will live in video forever !
😢😢😢. So sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss
Deepest sympathies! 😢😢😢
I’m so very sorry for your loss Robin! It’s hard to make that decision for our beloved pets but in the end it’s the right decision to make. Much love ❤️.
He was beautiful
Oh sweet big boy held out to say bye to you. It is so hard to loose that unconditional love but like you say he is a part of everywhere now. He sure lived THE BEST life and got to know your unconditional love. You did the right thing for him, much respect. xo Love to you Big Boy!!
You gave him his best life ever! 🌷👍🥲
I’m a veterinarian and have to help people and pets through this transition every day. It is never an easy decision, and you made the choice that was best for both of you. We always second guessing ourselves, but know you absolutely made the right decision. He was telling you in so many ways that things weren’t going well and he was ready to move on. He is with you in spirit now, hanging out over your shoulder as an eternal copilot. And he’s always in your heart and in those wonderful memories you have. With sympathy and love, Shelley
As a pet owner who has gone through this five times, it is the ultimate unselfish act we owe them after all their years of unconditional love they have given us. It is a grief like no other. Take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. Sending hugs.
Perfectly stated. Our grief is the price we pay for our longer life span in comparison to theirs. There is just no getting around having to endure this hurt. My heartfelt condolences on losing your wonderful boy.
This.^^^^ So much.
I've been there and yes it is so hard to say that final goodbye, but it is the last act of love we can give our dear buddies. Hugs to Robin as she grieves this very painful loss.
That is so well put. So true.
Sending you a huge hug! You didn't "put him down", you let him go and released him from his suffering. Bless you! He'll always be with you, just harder to trip you up 😽
Robin you absolutely did the right thing for Big Boy. Stopping eating & drinking is a sign he gave you that it was time. Vets are some of the kindest people on this planet. My heartfelt sympathies are with you. I know how you're feeling. Be good to yourself. Reach out to your family & friends. My thoughts & prayers are with you Robin. ❤🙏🐈🌹
You don’t OWE anyone any explanations when it comes to the love and care you give your fur kid. Nobody knew him better than you did. From the prime of life until his sun set in KS, you were his champion and his person. So much love to you , keep breathing 💜
My heart goes out to you. I know how painful it is to put your pet down but you took care of him and did it right.
💖🐈⬛You did the right thing, Robin, by not letting Big Boy suffer any longer. I went through a similar decision on 6/22/23 and had to put my 15-year-old cat, Bear, to rest. I'm still holding back tears two months later and working through the stages of grief--guilt is the longest stage even though I did everything possible to spoil him for 15 years. My friends say just get another cat--NO, that's not the answer for me. Bear was my best friend and he deserves that I work through this process on my own. My faith in God has sustained me; for He cares even for the sparrows that fall to the ground, so I know He can take care our our furbabies better than we can. I still keep out Bear's stuffed animals (at age 55!). It may be a long healing process, but you can have some peace of mind knowing Big Boy is no longer suffering.🐈⬛💖
🐾prints on your heart forever🐾
Blessings of peace to you.
. . . and an additional two points. My vet always said to me, better 2 weeks too early than 2 weeks to late. He was clearly suffering. Secondly, this is something we do FOR our animals - NOT something we do to them. God bless you and please know you made the right decision. ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry, Robin. Losing our fur babies is so very difficult no matter the circumstances. Sending love and hugs and all my sympathy.
It’s never easy putting animals down, but you did the right thing especially if they are suffering.
@@vanessawilliams8305by😅
So sorry for your loss Robin. As a dog Mom who's held 4 fur babies through the very last quiver, they let you know when they're ready to leave. It's our job to recognize that readiness. It sounds like you succeeded well in that most painful of moments. Thanks for sharing your memories of the Big Boy with us.
So sorry. 🥲
I'm so sorry Robin...the Boy had a purrrrrrfect life...thanks to you...may he rest easy. 😢❤🙏🕊
I’m so sorry Robin. Anyone who has gone through this knows the pain you’re in. You gave him a long and happy life.
I am so very sorry. I had to do the same for my 24 year old boy 2 years ago. The loss is profound, but in time, the memories you have will become treasured. I will light a candle for you both.💜
So sorry about the loss of your sweet baby, big Boy. You did the right thing to cremate him. You still have him with you. You were an incredible Mama.
So very sorry for your deep loss, Robin. No words can take away the pain. Thank you for sharing him with us through the years. He was indeed blessed to have you as a mom. We love you!
Losing a pet is losing a family member. Rest in peace Big Boy. We love you so much!
I am so sorry… with a senior buddy … things can move fast…
My deepest condolences
He had a grand life with you, Robin. He never lacked love, care or adventure and was a so very ‘go with the flow’ kind of little soul. I can’t imagine that you’d trade all of the years of companionship and love away, even with the grief of losing him. You’ll soon be smiling a lot through the tears and keep the Boy close in your heart. You were his world and the courage and love to do right by him in the end is everything. Bless you.
We're so sorry to hear about Big Boy. The team of animal lovers at Wayfarer Vans sends our collective love and best wishes for peace. Thank you for sharing Big Boy with us over the years through Creativity RV.
Hugs. I am so sorry. My 18 year old cat passed away 8/21 in her sleep. I inherited her from my late mother in law. I knew her time on earth was coming to an end. She was deaf, missing three fangs, losing weight, but it was still a shock. I was thankful, that she passed peacefully and I didn't have to make a tough decision.
I am genuinely so sorry Robin. I know your heart must be broken right now, but Big Boy had a great life and you did that for him. I hope you are able to take the time you need to heal and recover from this. ♥
Putting an animal to sleep is one of the hardest and most loving thing someone will ever have to do. Sending you love we will all miss the Big Boy❤
The life you gave that cat is a blessing to you both! Thank you for being such a loving and responsible pet owner. My wife and I have made that difficult decision a few times, and it’s truly one of the most challenging events in life. I’m so sorry for your loss.
It doesn’t matter how many times you go through it, it never gets easier. And yes, you will second guess yourself. We all do. Your boy had a long wonderful adventure with you. A cat could never know a better life. I feel for you. Take care.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Robin. There are no words sufficient to take away your pain. May you take comfort in knowing you gave him a fantastic life. You cared for Big Boy all his life, and made that difficult decision to release his spirit from his ailing body when it was his time. Your decision was made from love. Take time to mourn & heal your heart. ❤
Deepest condolences to you Robin. Big Boy was a part of your family and was always with you and he will always be in your heart. Give yourself all the time you need to grieve.
Hey Robin, so sorry for your loss. After I said goodbye to my bestest doggo, nothing prepared me for the depth of grief that overwhelmed me... had difficulty sleeping for months. Give yourself the grace to grieve your way and in your time. As others have rightly said, Big Boy let you know it was time and you sefllessly honored him. Sending hugs prayers and peace your way xxx
I’m so very sorry Robin. I know he gave you much love and joy. As hard as it is, you know that you did the right thing. You gave him an amazing life!
I’m so sorry for your loss Robin. You made the correct decision in getting him help to cross over and he is still there just in spirit😇
I'm so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering, and that he had a wonderful life with you. This was a beautiful tribute to the Big Boy.
I am so sorry Robin. I've been there before. It is terrible. Bigboy had such an amazing life. Thank you for sharing him with us.
I’m truly sorry you Have gone through this pain You both loved each other and all the moments shared will be forever in your heart! Fly high Boy 🙏🏻😻🐾🐾
It's difficult to loose a pet. They're so much a part of our lives. Enjoy the memories you have of Big Boy.
So, so sorry Robin. May you be comforted by all the love you find here among your community.
I’m so sorry about your loss. Please don’t second guess yourself; you couldn’t let him suffer. May it comfort you to know that your videos show ample evidence that you gave Big Boy a wonderful life.
Yes, you will treasure all the video and photos you took for years. When they stop eating, I take that as the sign that their enjoyment of life is finally gone and there is only pain left. It's a hard decision, but you did right by him.
It's so sad when it's time for our beloved fur babies to go. We realize how much beautiful space they filled in our homes and lives. Thank you for sharing Big Boys life with us in your travels. We got to know and love him. Sending you a big healing hug. 💜
I'm so very sorry, Robin. Grieving is such a roller coaster. Forever missed, forever in your heart and memory. 💔💜
Sorry for your loss of a best friend. Animals know when it's time before their human pets do. You took everything into consideration, listened to your loving heart for your little side kick, and did the right thing. I know Big Boy is thankful for your decision.
Oh, Robin, I'm so truly heartbroken to hear the news about Big Boy. I always enjoyed his cameos in your videos. We're currently dealing with the same issue. May the happy memories always keep him alive in your heart.
Condolences Robin, sounds to me like you were a really good pet Mamma. He explored some beautiful places with you by his side. This is the hardest part of being a pet owner and lover. Big Boy is in a pain free place now. You did the right thing. Much love to you.
It’s such a difficult decision and I’m so very sorry for your loss. I know how hard and painful it is. Much love to you Robin. ❤
How tough it must have been to make this video. Our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, the good and the bad, all the realities of this life. May the sun shine upon you.
I feel your pain sister. About 3 months ago I had to put my 18 year old dog down. ❤️❤️❤️
I think you did the right thing for your kitty. You didn't want him to suffer
Hugs Robin. You made the most difficult, but humane decision. Look forward to the next video of Big Boy~ We've enjoyed the journey with him. And he will always be with you ~
I've been wondering where The Boy went. I'm grieving right along with you, Robin. He was a treasure and there are many of us who are missing him right along with you. Be extra kind to yourself.
I grew up on a farm and believe me you did everything you could. When animals look for a small dark place away from everyone and everything its their time. All you can do is remember him. ❤
He went on, before you and you will see him, again. When you get to heaven, he can give you a tour of the best butterfly fields and sunbath grass wallows! No doubt, he's making friends, right now, on preparation of your return to him. Be of good cheer, God keeps our fur family for us and we will join them, when it is our time to return home. ❤
Grief with our Animals is very real. Years do fly by but we have all our memories with them. So sorry for your loss😢
Never enough time with our fur babies 😢sending you love and hugs from Pennsylvania
Right when you said "the boy is gone" I wanted to jump through the screen and hug you! Been there many times with cats and dogs in my life. They are our family. Sending love and comfort!!!
Ah, Robin, I am so sorry for the loss of Big Boy. I've been through it many times with many cats, and it never gets easier. Rips the heart out every time, even as it was clearly his time to go. I'm glad you had so many good years with the boy and I send best wishes for peace and healing.
So very sorry, it is really tough but know you did all you could to make him comfortable as it could be. Memories will always be there. He was a great companion
So sorry for your loss Robin. I can't imagine how hard that must have been.
He will always be with you in spirit. Still traveling along with you on your journeys.
Your faithful travel buddy. God Bless you. God Bless The Boy. ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry. Sending hugs. You did the right thing for you and him. I’m glad you were there with him when he passed.
I cried when I saw your video. So very sad to hear about Big Boy. Our pets are treasures and windows into our souls. Sending hugs and love.💕
I am SO sorry for your loss, Robin! I believe in heaven and believe that our beloved furbabies will continue to be by our side in the hereafter. Hugs…❤❤❤
So very sorry for your loss. Losing a small fur baby leaves an extraordinarily huge hole in our life. No matter how long they are able to stay with us, it's never long enough. You gave him a wonderful life and he enriched your life. My heart is with you as you work through your grief.
My heart goes out to you Robin. Rest in Peace Big Boy. 🐾🌈❤
I am so very sorry for your loss. You did the absolute best you could possibly do and my heart grieves with you. ❤😢
Hi Robyn. My heart hurts for you. Losing our treasured pets is heartbreaking. I give you a lot of credit for acknowledging your loss and vulnerability. You gave the Big Boy a wonderful life and focused on his needs while carving a fabulous life for yourself. Take good care of yourself. Gentle peace.
My heart goes out to you. I know how difficult that is. He'll be in your heart and memories, always.
Our orange tabby was 17 yrs when we put him down.
He lived and loved 16 of his 17 yrs as a full-time RV fur-baby.
He's your special Angel now.
Robin, we are so very sorry for your loss. Big Boy was a special guy and we loved seeing him on your videos. May he rest in peace. 💔
I have gone through doing that for three of my lil babies and I completely understand the second guessing. My heart is breaking for you. I loved watching Big Boy. I remember you even had a little screened area that you used outside that he would go inside with you to relax. Sending you so much love and virtual hugs. So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Sounds like you certainly did the right thing for him. Never easy to say goodbye ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Big Boy was a special cat. Thank you for sharing him with us your viewers. Our furry friends show us such unconditional love and leave such a void when they are gone.
I've had to put several of my best friends down. It never gets easy. I've always been told it is best to error on a day too soon than letting our furry friends suffer in pain a day longer. You did the right thing. I know you miss him terribly, but I pray you have peace in your heart on your decision to help Big Boy over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈 💔
He had a wonderful adventurous life with you, full of love and snuggles. Be sad that he couldn't stay but be grateful for the memories and the wonderful years you shared with him. Our pets never ever live as long as we wish they could. Be at peace Robin and take care.
Oh, Robin. I am so, so sorry. You did the right thing, but I know it was so terribly difficult. I am so glad you had so many wonderful years with him. He was loved deeply and had the best life a cat could hope for. Thinking of you in the coming weeks as you grieve the loss of your Big Boy and traveling companion. 💕
So thankful for all the happy times and many miles you two shared! ❤
Doing what’s best for your pet is honorable and heartbreaking at the same time. He will always be with you🐈⬛ Prayers for you!
Lost my 17 year cat that way. There is a time when you don’t want them to suffer. It so hard being there when they go to sleep at the end. I feel for you. My heart goes out to you. Prayers!
Oh Robin, I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing Big Boy with us through the years. You’re a great cat mom. I am praying for healing for you. Keep laughing in your grief. Laughter is good medicine.
Sending total support. Loving a friend enough to make that incredibly hard decision is so hard. It's been 12 years for me and I still cry & avoid the vets office that I had to make the same choice at. 💔
I’ve been there several times and bawled my eyes at while at the vets and afterwards! 😢
I am sorry for your loss, Robin. It is heartbreaking to say goodbye to any family member.
My heart is with you! Thank you for sharing Big Boy with us.
I'm so sorry, Robin. Helping your furbaby cross over the Rainbow Bridge is always hard but Big Boy left a gazillion paw prints on your heart and you have a gazillion more to share with everyone. Hugs ❤
Rip ~ Big Boy
Your memory will live on forever
❤❤
Hi Robin, here’s a big long virtual hug. I am so very sorry this happened to you and Big Boy this way. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures of your kitty and your painful story with us so the we can carry some of the weight your heart carries. 💞 💞
I'm so sorry for your loss Robyn. Losing a friend is so hard, especially when they love unconditionally as Big Boy loved you. He will truly be missed 🙏
My heart hurts with you Robin. I had to let go of my kitty, Sebastian, two and half years ago and I still miss him everyday. We weren't nomads (though, because of you, I was strongly considering it until well, you know, life) but he never let me feel alone in his sixteen years. He was the very definition of 'constant companion' as Big Boy was. He is with you every moment. They say that the depth of pain represents the depth of love-it's the price we pay. He had a wonderful life with you. You two were why I thought Sebastian would do well as a nomad kitty.
I am so sorry to hear of this as it's truly 💔 .
Animals are family, and have special places in our lives.
I'm crying just watching you tell the story.
I lost my Siamese Himalayan from the same problem 😪, and they know when they're going to pass.
Unfortunately they become indifferent and seek solace as a natural instinct to be safe from predators.
I hope eventually your heart will open to a new companion because there are so many that need a loving home. But it is so hard to be without them, they fill so many voids.
Be well, and bless your sweet baby...may he RIP.
Oh, Robin, no… I am so very, very sorry to hear this. I lost my 17-year-old little gray kitty co-Pilot the day I was supposed to get on the road for my second year as a fulltimer. I, too, had had her from the beginning, and had to make this horrible decision that has no good outcome. It’s absolutely heartbreaking, and I know how hard this time is. When our lives are in such small spaces, our little pals seem to take up so much more space in our hearts and lives, and when we lose them, the void is large, too. My heart aches for you in your very real grief. It will come in waves, so please be ready for that. But just sit with it and let it roll over you. You’ll get through it and yes, he will always be with you. Sending you a hug and gentle thoughts. 😢
