so on tuesday, our cat pepsi starting acting a little off. she wasnt eating, was really weak, plopped down after taking a few steps and even vomiting. we made an appointment for wednesday to take her to the vet to make sure it wasnt anything serious
it was
she had severe dehydration, muscle deterioration and possible kidney/full organ failure. the vet said she could run test which would have cost over 200 euro with no guarantee that it would help or we could have her put to sleep
i called keith from her office and told him the news and we decided to put her to sleep. it was a hard decision but she was 17 and we took her in a little over a year ago, knowing her life was short. i never knew it would hurt so much to lose her
i gave her love the whole time they put her to sleep. it was really quick, only took a matter of seconds, but still the most heartbreaking thing ive ever gone through. were getting her cremated but i dont think i could have handled taking the ashes so it was just that (getting them back was extra too and i just want the memories and pictures of her)
in light of these events, a friend from new jersey got franks autograph for me and i got it in the mail on monday. were planning (hoping) to go visit her (and one of keiths friends from new york) next may, if she'll have us. were also planning a trip to manchester to visit 2 other friends of ours.
ive cried more times this week then i have since the beginning of the year
