Losing a pet is a sad way to start the week
We had to put my cat Riley down this morning. He was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, and had been going downhill steadily for the past several weeks. This morning we found him disoriented, walking in circles and sort of sideways, and he had given up eating yesterday am. When we were trying to offer him food this morning, he just stood there and lost control of his bladder and bowels. We knew it was time and made an appointment at the vets. I'm sitting here with a huge empty place in my heart, but he no longer had quality of life.
Riley in happier days...   Godspeed Riley, we miss you. You had a good run for 11 years. Adios, my friend

He was a handsome cat Dave, and will be missed no doubt.
Your post is timely for me as our cat is unwell and I just called the vet to get her checked out. Olena is only 5YO so should be able to recover and continue to bring us the joy that Riley brought to your home and family. RIP Riley Thanks, Richard |

All of us who have loved pets know how you feel. Knowing that doesn't help much, does it?
Sorry to hear of your loss....damn it hurts. But in time, we open our hearts to another.
