I need some wholesome shit right now.
My cat is dying. She stopped eating her dry food over a month ago. I tried some canned food we had, but that was too solid, so I bought some liquid food. She licks a little bit, but never finishes it.
Hey ability to make it to the litter box is gone. We now have piddle pads all over the house.
Just the other day she wanted to go outside, and she spent longer out there than she had ever spent, and slowly made her way out of the yard, further than she has ever been.
She can't walk that well now, she can only make it a little way before she needs a break.
I think she only has a week or two left, and I want to spend as much time as I can with her.
I just want to hear some good stories from you guys about the last few times you had with your pets.
Some of the saddest days of my life were putting pets down. When it becomes evident you are keeping the animal alive for you instead of them, it is time. If the animal is suffering, it is time. My wife and I have had rough collie dogs for the past 20 years and she grew up with the breed. We love them. They are the most intelligent, sensitive, loyal breed I have come in contact with. This past fall our tri color, Cole was unable to get up anymore. It was obvious he was in pain. He was only 11 but had a tough life. Auto immune disease ate at him for 6 years and his hips no longer did what he wanted them to do. We went to our vet and gently let him pass. The dog was ready, you could tell. I cried and whimpered like no 51 year old man should. His brother, a rough sable collie who is healthy went into a depression. After 4 months of watching that, spoiling him and not seeing any improvement, we got him a little sister. In the span of 2 weeks an amazing transformation took place for the better. You are in my thoughts. I feel for you.
We rescued Rough Collies for years, at one time we shared our home with 13 of those magnificent creatures...In my opinion, they are the finest companions a human could ever want for...There is something very special about a "Coalie Dug"....
That is great to hear. They are special dogs, no doubt about it. Such expressive faces.
It's their eyes, they look into your soul....
Thanks for that story. Thank you for getting the brother another friend.
