sorry for the short post but I just got news that I probably won't be able to keep one of my cats. since he's already sick the chances of finding him somewhere else to live are pretty slim, practically zero. so it pretty much means I'll have to put him down soon. and that fact is kinda hitting me hard, my cats have been one of the few constants in my life since I got them, and out side of meds one of the few things helping my depression (it's pretty much them and a very close friend who I can only communicate with via messenger). sorry, I don't know what else to say, but yeah, the news has hit me pretty hard.
Losing a pet is really hard. They are the people that love us and get us through so much. Love the Kitty and spend time with them. Putting a pet to sleep is not cruel or bad when the quality of life is considered. I have lost many of the animals in my life, and sometimes they had to be put down. It is hard and nothing will ease the grief, but cherish what you have had. Who knows, maybe some new animal will show up down the road.
ReplyDeleteI know I am sounding weird, but I am trying to be supportive and not sound know-it-ally. I still miss Lady, she was my best friend for so long. She lived around 17 years, a long time for a dog. I have many dogs around me, but you know some are closer than others.
I have a house full of dogs. I've been around them all my life and only 3 have ever picked me. I just lost my pet Pookie, she was one of them that picked me. So I took it very hard and I believe her death was the start of all my stress and even recent OCD outbreak.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could offer more comforting words, but all I can say is I've been there before and I'm always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. ^_^ "hugs"
