I'm so sorry to hear this, revmclaren.

I'm guessing everybody here has walked this road at one time or more. DU people seem to love having fur babies in their lives.

We're here if you need sympathy or empathy. Our dear Skittles once said "someone's always here" and it never seems to matter what hour, day, or timezone.

Love her as long as you're lucky enough to have her around. I remember when we had a kitty that lived to 19, and she just started going downhill, and it went pretty fast. And so did she. We could tell she did not like the condition she was imprisoned by. When she finally passed, we were actually relieved for her. It had been a rough exit. We'll never forget her, and I'm glad we took photos of her, cuz at least we still have those.
