Originally the post today was going to be about the Pony Express...but something else is on my mind tonight (last night, this is a scheduled post...) and I just feel I should share it and possibly unburden my heart?
This afternoon, while I was at work, this little guy had to be put down. Jack had been not feeling well for a few days and today his breathing was incredibly labored. As the day progressed I was told that his breathing was getting even more shallow, he was incredibly weak and he was moaning of sorts. My mom took him in, and sure enough the Vet said that there was nothing she could do. Medicine might make him more comfortable, but he would still eventually die. So tonight shortly before 5 he drew his last weak breath. And even though I know it is better this way, it doesnt keep the tears from welling in my eyes as I write this. I knew this was coming when he wasn't better after day two, but I still am incredibly emotional about it all. And thus the change in topics for todays post.

Such a human expression on his face. A beautiful feline. Reminds me of a bobcat. Makes me smile. :) I feel for you, and I feel your sadness. It's okay to grieve the loss of love. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of my last kitty. I still miss him. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose our furry loves. May sweet memories help you.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sharon
I'm sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteOh no.. I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. That is a handsome picture of Jack. I know what it feels like to lose a beloved pet, so I'm sending my warmest wishes to you and your family. Take care and hang in there.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. I come from a family of animal lovers, so whenever one of our pets go we feel as if we've lost a family member. A big hug for you. xx

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. I too have recently have lost a cat due to illness. It's hard I know. Something i found that helped was writing all the memories down about them and make a story about them. It made me happy to see all the good times. I still cried a lot though.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and my deepest sympathy to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read about your cat and so young. My cat is passed away on October 29th. She was only 7 years old. It's awful to lose a pet.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. My pets are my family, and I know it's not easy to move on from something like this.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry. Its always hard to let them go, they become part of our family.
ReplyDeletePeace,
