I hope the all good memories help sooth your pain, thanks for being one of the good pet owners.

Dag, I'm sorry to hear about Max. I'll miss him too. Sorry also for the late notice this post has gotten. I only just now saw it.
Call me if you need a shoulder to cry on. Brian

Searched the Rainbow bridge as I figured there had to be a thread about pet loss. Well...
As some of you know, my youngest son's best friend was his cat Lucky. She was truly a 3 legged wonder. She was born in this house 19 years ago and was his sole confidant since even before his accident. When he was in his coma she was in his room waiting for him for a month. She came out to eat and do her business - that's about it. Since then she has been his best friend, in many ways, his only friend. He would sit with her and talk to her for hours. She would sit and listen and let him pet her. She slept in his bed for the first 18 years and only in mine when I decided it was time to contain the damage due to her incontinence and eating issues. Over the last couple weeks, the decline was getting very steep. On March 28th while I was about an hour from home on business he sent me a text "Dad, there is something wrong with my cat. She isn't moving." I could feel the pain in his text. My heart sank as I realized that the LAST THING I wanted was for this to go down with him home alone. I called my dad (5 mins away) and had him head over to the house. I got there a little later. She was still alive, just very "slow". She didn't seem too bad the next day, except she really wasn't eating. I snuggled with her that night knowing that tomorrow's trip to the vet was probably going to be her last. She was ready ... we certainly weren't. We knew the end was near and after 19 years, we had to make the decision no pet parent wants to make. We let Lucky go that afternoon. She lived a long extraordinary life from her birth on the basement stairs, being bottle-fed without a mother to losing a leg at age 4. Dan & I were there for all of it - even at the end as she calmly left this world while I held her paw. It was her time and it was peaceful. She's with her big sister now, whole again and running free. So fortunate to have been your human. I'll miss cuddling with you on the couch. Sweet dreams my lil oreo cookie. You are already sorely missed. Luv ya old girl. I've now lost both my girls in 8 months, both at 19. Death sucks for the living. Dan and I made a collage of some of her pics.

Damn cats, why do they have to make the end so painful. Condolences to the family she touched and loved her.

thanks all. She was a good girl & lived an extraordinary life.
Like I said, Death sucks for the living. I believe she is with her sister now, whole again and running outside in the grass - something she hasn't been able to do as of late. Losing three of them in 8 months has really taken a toll on me. I'm still working on Dan. He forgets and then remembers and its like it just happened all over again. Ugghh
