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.
We had to send our 20 year old Rat Terrier, Scout over Rainbow Bridge last month. We have had many loyal and devoted canines over the years, but Scout was something "special".
I think the only reason he held on so long was that he loved my wife so dearly and did not want to leave her "unguarded". Ultimately, when he faded into a situation very similar to what your beloved cat is experiencing, we knew it was time...
The last few weeks of Scouts time with us was filled with sunny day walks, rib eye steak dinners and lots and lots of love. In his last days, he refused even the steak dinners and would look at us like, It's ok guys, I am ready to go."
My wife insisted that she alone would take Scout for his last vet visit because he would sense something was wrong if I went along. Scout crossed over in my wife's arms hearing her voice in his ear whispering how much we loved him...
She brought him home and we wrapped him in a tattered American flag we where saving for the Boy Scouts to dispose of and laid him to rest under an ancient Walnut Tree in our back yard...
My Grandmother would say," a life filled with love has it's thorns. but a life void of love has no roses." We pay a very high price for all the love that is "given' to us....
God bless you for having a kind soul...
