Kitty Heaven

I had to have my cat Lancelot put to sleep this evening. He had advanced kidney failure and was really starting to decline - even after we had started treating him with a human medicine and hydrating him through an IV once a day.

Lance was 14 and I know he lived a pretty good life, but that was one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make.

6/6/07. Thank you to everyone who expressed their condolences, and especially to E. McPan, who gave me a little pep talk last night. I was still pretty weepy this morning when I told a couple of my co-workers, but I'm starting to feel better about my decision. I knew when I took Lance in yesterday that this was probably going to be the result, but somehow that didn't make watching him die any easier.
