Lost a friend.
This is the last picture of my feline companion whom I've had for 13 years, since I was 4. We had to put him down recently due to complications with his kidneys, bladder and urethra. It was a really hard day for me and my mom, she just getting off work when the vet's called and gave her the news, I sitting in the car, after coming back from a sleep-over.
There were pretty much two options.. Go through expensive surgery and keep him on a diet + two shots every day for the rest of his life.
or
Give him the peace of Eternal Sleep.
We didn't want him to go through 2 shots every day, plus any discomfort he may have, plus the surgery was way to expensive for us, because we were hit by a fucked up tax issue, which left us in a 10k range of debt.
We spent about an hour with him, a few friends coming to clinic to say their goodbyes to their friend whom they've known since they knew me. I held him in my arms when they put him to sleep, giving him a pet and kiss on the head, telling him to sleep well just as his body went limp.
He holds a place in everyone's heart, who knew him. His ashes sit in a box above the fireplace, his collar, and other memorabilia of his, in remembrance of him.
1998 - 2011 Blue Greene. Closest Friend I've ever had.
I lost a precious friend a few years back. He too had complications with liver, as is usual to dogs his age (13) and breed (Dandie Dinmont Terrier, pepper variety).
RIP Arthur and Blue Greene. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Awww that's sad. I lost a cat 2 years ago, he became 10 years old and died of kidney failure. His death was mourned both by us and our other cat, he slept for a week rarely eating anything (he loves food) almost dying himself.
RIP Pusur, Arthur and Blue Greene. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I know what you mean. My parents had a cat that I grew up with for a few years as a kid. It's an awful feeling to come home from school and your parents are rushing around with a wailing cat because she got hit by a car. They put her down. And sometimes... that's the best thing to do.
I think it was harder on me because I was still so young. I didn't get it. It's sad for you still, Frontlines, but you understand the world. But you do move on eventually. _________________ KGR | AT
