The world became less fuzzy today.

damn.....

we just had to do this with one of our dogs... about a month back. I pass on all the comfort a fellow pet owner can pass along.

I'm sorry man. This always sucks.
This is coming with our cat. She's 15. Fantastic health. Both my boys are alergic so this will be our only cat. She was here before the kids, but will almost certainly be gone before any of them leave home. It's going to suck.

Sorry to hear that. Letting a pet go is always a hard thing to deal with.

That's rough man, sorry to hear about your kitty.

We had to put ours down last Wednesday, he was full of cancer.

Poor guy was having a hard time breathing and was ice cold. Vets did an x-ray and found lots wrong.

They have a bad habit of not telling you anything is wrong until it's too late.

Sorry to hear about your loss. You were a good home for Larry.

It's happened to me so many times throughout my life that you would think I would be immune by now. Nope. OP, sorry for your loss.

you're never immune …

I / we've had to do the same thing several times … it's never easy, and never gets any easier

You guys are really great, it was cathartic to share. Thanks for helping me NOT feel like a big Bob Costas for feeling so heartbroken.

So sorry to hear. Sounded like a great companion, friend and family member. Godspeed Larry.

Hang in there. It's always tough to lose a furry friend.
