Well it finally happened. We had to put down on of our cats this week. Kitty, (yes, that was her name) was 19 years old and had renal failure. She had a good run and she was a great cat. She gave us a lot of fun over the years and was companion to another cat and our dog. It is also obvious that the other two notice her absence. Seems odd but they do.
This is the first time I have had to put a pet down. Growing up I don't recall that we ever had to do that. Maybe we did and my Dad handled it without my knowledge but I don't think so. We had several dogs that we kept until they were seniors but most died by running into cars and one supposedly ran away. Hmmmmmmm
We knew this would happen soon, especially when you consider that all three of our pets were acquired in a short span of time. We now face the reality of losing them all in a short span of time. The other cat is 18 and the dog is now going on 15. That's going to be tough.
My wife was pretty upset with having to put Kitty down but that will pale in comparison to when we eventually have to take the dog in. She and the dog are like best buddies. They do a lot together and have for nearly 15 years now. I am not looking forward to that day.
Well it is the weekend and it is proving to be a warm one. However, Michigan has a lot of lakes and I need to go find one.

Hey Sigmund It's clayton
Yes I did lose a dog yesterday. He had a stroke around 4AM on Friday morning and we had to euthanize him around 4PM. We were both with Riley when the time came. The post before that on tells the story.
I'm so sorry about your having to do the same. That last loving thing we do for our pet is the most difficult. I have had to do it a few times over the years and found that the decision making is much more difficult that the deed. The vets make it painless and quick.
I lever a note on your previous entry too. Just to separate life from politics.
