So this past weekend my mom had to put our cat Rusty down....he has been sick....we dont know what was wrong with him none of the vets could figure it out....he kept losing weight...you could count his ribs without touching him. He's been going down hill for the past year or so. He was roughly 10 years old....I found him at the bus stop in the sewer when I was in 8th grade. He vomited alot....had diarhea...he couldnt keep himself clean at all. And the worst part of all was when he would arch his back when he was in pain....sometimes he would yelp....I felt so bad for him. My mom went and had him put to sleep without telling me because the vet said if you dont do it today it will be weeks before we can get you in so she did it before she had a chance to back out again....He was in so much pain....I miss him so much already. He is barried in our back yard right next to my other cat that died of Luekimea (sp) when I was 16. She was my first pet. Her name was Sammy. Growing up we werent allowed to have a dog so we stuck with cats. My mom is taking this really really hard. She only has one cat left, her name is precious. She has alot of life left in her still, she is only about 5 years old.

Awww.. Hon~ I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.
My {{{HUGS}}} and love are with you.

[zoey101]

I am so sorry Tatertot15/ I bet that is hard I know i have lost some animals also and it was kind of hard but i wouldbe devastated if my cat died or yorkie!!! Well my thoughts are withyou and your mom right now!!!!

[tatertot15]

Thank you Chimicole and Zoey 101....I feel like this is one place I can go and let my feelings out....it is extremely hard to lose a pet....I just wish I would have known my mom was going to do this....I would have liked to at least say goodbye to him....instead I was told by my husband while I was outside playing with Bandit. I didnt even tell my mom I knew until Monday. DH told me she didnt want to tell me until the weekend was over because she didnt want to ruin my weekend so I didnt tell her I knew until it was over because I knew it would just hurt her more that I knew and she would have though my weekend was ruined. If that made any sense to you all....sorry. I dont know its just hard thinking he is gone and I'll never see or pet him again.

Tatertot, I'm so sorry about your cat. Losing a pet is just so hard.

Ashley, sorry to hear about the poor little kitty. It is so sad when things like that happen even if it is for the "best interest" of the animal

When my son was real sick in the hospital, my inlaw's informed my husband that they put his child hood pet doggy, Pop Corn ,down, she was his girl and was even in his Senior pictures. He told them that they could of picked a better time to blurt that out to him, our son was getting a spinal tap( he was 2 months at the time) and they had just gone over the papers we had to sign for them to knock him out.

Ashley - I am sorry about Rusty. Very sad.....

[zoey101]

So what is going on with ppl today? I am at winstonw's house!!! lol... Anyone want to chat?

[littlelady]

Ashley I am so sorry about your pet. I wish your mom would have shared the news with you also. Then she wouldn't have had to go through the whole ordeal alone. Family our intentions are good but we do pick the wrong times to interject information into a conversation.

I know my timing is off alot of the time.
It is never a comfortable situation when our loved ones are suffering . It isn't easy making decisions about what to do. I just have to pray I made the best ones.

Love to you and your family

Ashley - Did Zoey and Winston have fun playing yesterday? (I'm taking for granted that they had a playdate.)

Speaking of playdates, I wanted to post pictures of Piccolo's play date last Friday night with her Morkie friends, Annie and Sammy. They have played together since they were puppies and we were thrilled to be invited over.

1. Annie, Piccolo, and Sam on the deck steps
2. All three in what they call the dog "spa," with my friend's son, that attends Eastern Kentucky University
3. Piccolo not so happy about being in the "spa" with Sam and Annie

Hope everyone is having a great week. I would love to hear about your furbabies' playdates.

[winstonw]

Lisa what great pictures!! Piccolo is always so pretty....and her little friends are too!! I love your deck. Did you use a solid color stain on the walking surfaces? (I'm guessing it is wood?) The levels are really cool....your backyard is great to look at from there too.....it is really pretty also!

Lilly and I are leaving for Sparta, KY tomorrow to join my lovely boyfriend who travels for work! I've been researching the surrounding areas and FINALLY found a mall and more active life in a nearby city - Florence, KY! It's about 30 minutes away which isn't far at all. Anyone around this area and can tell me what Florence is like and if there are any dog boutiques or anything of the sort? I'll be there for a week and a half or possibly longer.

[winstonw]

Emilyann...Hi Florence has tons of stores. You might ask Lisa and Pic if there are any doggy stores/botiques there.....She is somewhat close to that area. Have fun !

[zoey101]
