Had to say goodbye to my furry little Frau this morning
Was at least allowed the opportunity to hold her and comfort her to her last breath. She had not been around long but left her mark on both the pooch and I here as she transitioned from shy barn cat to queen of the house.

Today absolutely broke me. My cat Tory who I've had for 11 years (got her at 3 years old), had been with me through the worst and even stopped me from going through with it when I was suicidal three years ago, had to say goodbye. She developed an aggressive cancer behind her eye just before Halloween that started manifesting as a stuffy nose, but quickly enlarged her skull and put pressure against her eye, blinding the one and as of last night completely took her sense of balance. I held her as they gave her the injection and I felt her life slip away. She saved my life and I couldn't save hers.
Flintnapper said it better then I ever could, I went through this last year with my beloved Pepper and it feels like the pain well never go a way, with time it well pass and when the time is right a new special one well come into your life to warm your hart.Today absolutely broke me.

My eyes are wet from reading this. I can relate, and so I know how painful a loss you have suffered. But know this: you did save her. You gave her 11 years of love and care. All cats and dogs should be so fortunate. I pray that you find peace in that.Today absolutely broke me.

The day finally came. I had to put my adventure companion down today after his rear legs gave out on him and to end the pain of his cancer. It is so difficult to watch a loved one succumb to illness and deteriorate every day.
He had been with me since I got him as a pup in 2006. He was my crutch through my divorce, my son’s schizophrenia, my PTSD, and many other hurdles life threw my way. His devotion, love, and understanding truly did pull me through some dark times.
He was always ready to go for an adventure and was such a great travel companion. I have never had a dog with such a great character and charisma. The void of his presence is filled with joyful memories that I hope are never forgotten.
I love and miss you very much Wicket.

Third pet in the space of one year. Tonight we had to say goodbye to Titan.
He was badly abused and had been taken in temporarily in by someone who wanted to help him find a better home, but couldn't be home enough himself to take care of the old boy. While we had him, he'd faced a plethora of medical issues. Cracked, infected teeth from the abuse, a bad abscess where he had lost his leg after being shot as a puppy, chronic infections that led to the complete removal of his right ear canal, followed by cancer and the resultant chemotherapy. Every single problem he had he rallied after getting treatment and responded very well to the chemo, actually beating the cancer. For the last year he became seizure prone and would randomly black out and lose bladder control. He still hung on, but the last two weeks he developed a large mass in his bladder that resulted in peeing excessive amounts of blood and actual incontinence. Tonight was the time to say goodbye, and at about 2210 he departed for the rainbow bridge. He was a damn good dog, and was given a good final two years of life and he fought like the toughest sonuvabitch out there through all his issues. They eventually caught up to him though.
Godspeed Titan. Til Valhalla

Last week's lack of heat and power, during the Texas "winterpocalypse", was just too much for my 22 year old son's ~20 year old (indoor only) cat. An adopted stray, but I'm not real sure who was the adopter, and who was the adoptee. He tolerated me, but worshiped my son, following him around the house, usually having long vocal conversations. Sometimes his "stoopid hoomans" were a little hard to train, but usually he did succeed.
Today we had to make an early morning run to the 24/7 ER, and make the very hard call to have him "put to sleep".

If there is a heaven, surely it is full of genuine, honest, and loving pets, that seem to be better "people" than most humans.
Goodbye Rusty!
