Journal: Things that suck.

[black_sluggard]

I had to have my cat, Zoe, put to sleep today. It...sucks, but it was the best for her. Her health took a turn, and she'd started losing a lot of weight, and then stopped eating. She was badly dehydrated, and weak. It hurt seeing her like that. I'd had her for almost sixteen years. I'm really going to miss her, but I wish I'd acted sooner than I had. Overall, I didn't take as good care of her as I should have. That's not just idle guilt, but I don't really want to go into detail.

I took this video a couple years ago. Poor sweet kitty. :(

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry. I've gone through that a couple of times and it's always really hard. *hugs* I wish I could give you a real hug, but a digital one will have to do.

Digital hugs are awesome. *hug*

I've been prepared for it ever since we made the appointment, so I'm mostly okay. I got a bit weepy watching the video, but mostly I'm okay. My family have always been pet people, so I've gone through it quite a few times too. It never hurts any less, but it's easier to handle, I guess.

Oh, I am so sorry :( I recently had to put down my dear old cat in pretty much the same circumstances. That really, really sucks :(
