Some years ago, I thought one could never have too many puppies or kittens. Well, GUESS WHAT! [:D] Now, many years later, we are loosing them one after another. We've had to put down four pets in the past 3 1/2 years. Two in just the past few months. The most recent one was today. We are truly bummed. Dip was a very sweet, soft black kitty who was over 14 years old. I miss him already. Thank goodness we have Zooby the Cat to ease the sorrow. We also have Einstein as our last very old kitty. Hopefully, he will remain healthy for the next year or ten. I'll be happy with one or two.
While it is so hard to loose them, I am so thankful to our Vets who always make the process so much easier. I am struck, time after time, with the fact that we can be humane to our pets, but being humane to humans is against the law. Weird. We look at it as being the one final act of love toward our pets. We are always with them as they get their "love shot" so they know they are safe. We hold them, and kiss them and love them out of this life and on the next (whatever that may mean). Our vets office always sends us a condolance card with a little story about our pets waiting for us on the 'Rainbow Bridge' so we can all cross over into heaven together. Sweet story. Helps to get through the sorrow of loss...
So, now I'm sitting here sucking up a bit of Sake and getting ready for a nap. If I don't post too much for awhile, it's cause I'm either still sad, I'm reading up on String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity (I'm trying to get smart [;)]) or I'm studying manuels for a new scanner at work... Not to worry, tho (right. like you guys are really gonna worry [g)]) -- I'll be around (and that's not a promise...it's a threat!!!![:D]) - Watch out, Mr. Robin Parsons! My tank's getting a new skin!!![:D])
