Udler's Last Days

Oh Marcy, I am sorry. Even though twenty is a good, long life, it doesn't make it any easier. My condolences...

thank you, fil. i dread doing it this time only because it's my third trip in about 4 years. but i let the other two kitties linger on too long and i'm not going to do that to udler, poor fella.

sorry to hear about your kitty.

We know they will be better on the other side of the rainbow bridge, but it doesn't do much for that painful lump in our hearts, does it? Having been down this path a few times myself with all manner of non-human companions, my kindest and gentlest thoughts are with you.

I hate to hear such news. Non-pet people sometimes pooh-pooh the loss of a pet, but it's as deep as any other loss. I lost my dog of 15 years to cancer a year and a half ago. I still think of her every day. But you are doing the right thing by letting her go rather than prolonging the suffering. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you during this tough time.

my condolences. :)

so sorry about that. i know my dog's time is gonna come too.. sooner than i guess probably. sometimes her eyes are very bad the other day the ears. meds in every breakfest, lunch, dinner.

to let go is the hardest thing. i know. damn well. my thoughts are with you.

Hugs to you as you walk this road. I know it's going to hurt like hell. Keep yourself soothed by music!

I'm sorry to hear about your cat, chin up dude.

aw, you guys! you're all so kind. thank you so much.

you know what, though? right now the hardest part is trying to decide exactly when to do it. i mean, how far ahead do i have to call for an appointment? (oh, am i too awful?) but really, for months, every day when i come downstairs i wonder, will udler still be alive? every box of food i've bought for weeks and weeks i think, is this the last box of food i'll have to buy? and every day the guy is still there. so yes, this is a very difficult decision to make. i've been hoping that nature would take its course, but alas, it hasn't yet.

i told udler that the blogosphere was ablaze with concern for him, and he just looked at me and said, hey, that's great, could you feed me now? ;-)

Aww, give him some extra Cat Chow for us. And throw in some catnip while you're at it!!

Awww. I hope your kitty gets better. Or leaves peacefully. My condolences.
