Worry about the ones who own cats. Or delist them - now.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

That's a fair innings and a gentle peaceful way to leave the earth.

Thanks Morrigu,

It really was gentle and peaceful, which helps a lot when your saying goodbye,

My vet is fantastic, she didn't even want to charge me, (I paid her anyway) she really loves them all xxxx

If only humans were afforded such a peaceful send off. I live in hope.

Goodbye my Boy, you had a great life, spoilt rotten, loved til the end, and I miss you already,

RIP Max,
And yes, you were a GOOD Dog! Xxx
I am very sorry to hear that, TP. You have my deepest sympathy.
Thanks mate, cheers xxx

You knew it was coming, well done doing the right thing even though it would have been bloody hard.

I admire your level of emotional connection with your pets, even if I can't empathise.

take it easy and don't hit the honey too hard.
Yeah, when I posted about him on Saturday, I had a feeling it would be sooner rather than later, he was throwing up Saturday night, and slept all Sunday, and since he supermanned off the couch and dislocated his back leg, he has been getting weaker and weaker in the back legs. His eyesight suddenly seemed to get worse, and he was falling in his food bowl, and walking into things. I rang up Monday and booked the vet, so I had two full days to enjoy him, and spoil him, (he loves smoked salmon, he ate three packets!). I keep waiting for him to bark because he wants up or down the stairs, or off the couch! Only 1 Jim beam so far! I sat in the bath and watched dvds all afternoon! Molly his daughter is 9, can't tell you how happy I am to have her! Cheers xxx
