I had to make a really hard decision today.


For now, I am ok and so is Corey, but Cha kept me up most of the night as he is in a perpetual search and scream mode trying to find her. :sad1: I guess that he will give up in a couple of days, but it's so sad to see him like this. He did this when George went missing because he had been eaten by a coyote, which is the main reason that we have strictly indoor cats now. Arwen is handling things ok. I think she knows pretty much since she laid with her on the sofa during her last hours. She keeps going back to lay on the sofa, which had never been a favorite spot for any of our cats to be in.

I guess that I come here now to ask for thoughts and prayers for Cha Cha, because he's having a rougher time than anyone. :sad1:
 
Oh Lindy I am so sorry to hear this :hug:, I had to have my mom's dog put to sleep on Tuesday morning about 2:30am. The ER vet thought she either had a brain tumor or cancer as she was having seizures and she was having a hard time getting them under control. She had not had not had any signs or symptons until Monday evening just after midnight. The doc thought the most humane thing was to let her go, but I have been suffering as has one of my cats and our other dog, he was crying at the back door this afternoon until Dh went out ot play with him.

It is so incredibly hard to let them go and I felt like I was losing mom all over again, but I know they probably met at the Rainbow Bridge.

I got home to find the Rainbow Bridge inside of a condolence card from our vet. :sad1: Then without thinking, I made popcorn. Popcorn shouldn't be a bad thing, but this is the first batch that I have made at home in 9 years that I have eaten without having to share it, guilt free. BC loved popcorn. She ate at least 5 pieces out of every batch we made.

I know all of this gets easier, eventually, I just hate the process.
 
Hugs to you and your family. I know how difficult this is. I wish peace and comfort for you.

*many many hugs* Im so sorry to hear this... it is always such a hard thing, and even though its tough you made the right decision.

I know its hard, but what I find helps is to talk about fun times you had together or the cute quirks you remember. In this way you can start to remember and focus on the wonderful times you had and be thankful for all the positives you got rather than focus being just on sadness.

I prefer to remember my furbabies for all the positive influences they had on me and how thankful I am to have had them in my life. Of course there are always lots of tears too...:grouphug:

I am so sorry for your loss :grouphug:

Oh darlin'. It's so hard when you lose one o' those babies. But, it does get easier.

So sorry for you loss. We just got back into town, so just now reading this. Though we have no cats, we're have 2 dogs...but animal lovers 100%! I've always said, the loss of an animal, feels like loosing your own child...never easy. Your in our thoughts.

Thanks again to everyone here for the thoughts and prayers. I brought home BC's ashes yesterday. We made her a spot next to our much loved and also lost Athena.

It's so odd how I no longer have a cat that is demanding my attention all of the time anymore. I didn't realize how much time I spent with her until she was gone. We both miss her, but at least she is no longer suffering. I hated that she suffered at all. She was a good cat and is forever to be remembered fondly.
