It’s been a SHIT week for pets. I am rewriting this post to cover all three lovely pets that were lost in the last week or so. All three had to be put down by their families. It sucked.
1. Nigel. Caroline’s cat Nigel, who was at least 25 years old, finally succumbed to kidney failure. He really did fart dust, that one. He was a true curmudgeon and I am honoured to have known him.
2. Marmalade. Russ’s cat for 15 years. He was huge (27#) and orange and had lots of attitude. He had his own pet, a furball cat named Ash. Marmie was a cool cat. He died of complications from a tumour and FLS.
3. Cindy. My mom’s little beagle/jack russell mix dog, 15 years old. Cindy had benign tumours all over her body – outside and in. Poor thing. She also had severe arthritis and got so she could not get up and down any more. She got progressively worse this week and got “the look” yesterday. My mom had to make the call today.
So, it’s been a pretty sucky week all round. I wish everyone a healing weekend. Gods know we need it.
I am So sorry, hun!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Misangela
What a tough week ! Even though we know that our beloved pets don’t live as long as us, it is always hard to see them go. Cry if you need to. It only show how much love there was – is in you for these beloved animal.
I send a cross atlantic hug (coming all the way from Denmark) to you.
