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 a pekingese. I married into it. That was the sweetest most wonderful dog I have ever seen, and I've had many in my lifetime. I became her favorite, (well, I WAS the one with the food...), like, waits for the family to come through when we return from vacation to get excited only when I finally come in the door. I took Pickles for granted, and miss her badly. Worst of all, at 18 years old, yes, 18 YEARS, her hips failed and we put her down. We had the pads all over the house too. I still regret it, but I don't know how else we could have handled it. The marriage was bad, over now, and I was pretty much carrying the weight of the whole household...
