I've allready made the choice to have her put to sleep, i won't sit idly by and watch her slowly drown on her own body fluids, i can't stand to watch that, and that would be a horrible way for her to die. Now the only question is, when?


She has "attacks" every day, where she will fall dormant and just lie there breathing heavilly, clearly having a hard time breathing, but she also has many good houers in the day where she is happy and breathing fine, though clearly, she doesen't have the energy she used to, she doesen't run or jump onto anything anymore, it takes to much out of her now.

So do i wait a little longer, is the good times still good enough? am i doing her a favour letting her have some more time whilst she still has some good houers out of a day? Or is that me beeing selfish? Is her quality of life allready to compromised from her daily attacks, and i should just get it over with as soon as possible?

I don't know.. i really don't know..


This is the part of beeing a pet owner i could really do without

My 11 year old cat was put down in april because she was getting worse every day. She had an illness which she was born with which couldn't be cured but with a yearly injection she managed to live a comfortable life and she thanked us for that every day with hugs. She was the most loving cat I've ever met but then last winter she started to get sicker and she developped a lump in her throat, after a while she could barely eat or drink, she lost weight alot and she stayed outside always while normally she enjoyed being inside with us. Then one day she didn't come home anymore, we were certain she left to go die somewhere like cats do. But the next day she showed up again, completely wet and dirt all over her like she rose up from the dead. I guess her plan was to die somewhere but unexpectedly survived. Then a few days later she started to puke her guts out ontop of all it and we had to put her down. I'm not sad that she died, she was sick and had a rich and loving life. I'm sad because she's not here anymore.

My wife is mad at me about something (I fell sleep yesterday and forgot to do some favor she asked me). As a reminder, she left one of my son's crapped diapers below my pc. At first I was wondering the source of the stench, until I recognized my son's essence xD

When I looked below the desk... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Got the call today, yes it was out cat of less then a year Daniel. In the process of getting the body to bury it at our cottage.

Seems like just yesterday he was out cold on the couch and we found a beer bottle and snuck it in between his paws & took some pics to make him look drunk..
*Cries*

We burried our cat in the garden and placed a mini dolmen over it so we will never forget her.

I was playing TF2 last night as a Heavy. I was injured so I tossed my steak on the ground so I could pick it up, just as I'm about to take it, an enemy spy(Cloaked) takes it and takes off. Heavy was very sad. Fuuuu bloody spies.

Well, it's done, the Vet looked her over, and indeed she was nolonger getting enough oxygen, and her heart rate was very unstable, she was not in any pain, but had i waited any longer she would have been.

Instead she went peacefully, a little shot in the scruff of her neck, and she fell asleep in my arms shortly after..


This world is a far bleaker place without her though

Feel for you and the other who lost cats, man. At my parent's house, our cats used to get knocked over by traffic.

Got two kittens myself and can't imagine life without them.

This is why you can't negotiate with Insurgents. Stuff like this just pisses me off.

Man, it sounds like you need to get out and take a holiday for a weekend somewhere sunny and pleasant... something I'd highly recommend when everything feels just plain ****ty.

Get out of the same-old-same-old for a few days, see some new sights, meet some new people.

The sucky parts are that my two best friends are having bad times as well and also I can't even be like "screw this reallife ****, I'll stick to ps3/pc gaming for 3 days) because I'm not in the mood for that at all, in fact i'm not really motivated for anything but sleeping or getting drunk right now.

I had to get my rat Valentino put down today, his back legs have been giving him trouble for over a month now and since yesterday he was just curled up in a ball in his house not able to move. I didn't think I would feel this bad but tbh im shattered. Weve had 3 rats pass now this year and Val was the last. I can't even find a pic pf him on my pc .

Got busted for fishing in a fish sanctuary.... $125! We thought that section of the river was no longer a fish sanctuary after discussing it with a Conservation Officer earlier this year. (Asshole!) Also another $125 ticket for open alcohol.

There is something so wrong about a group of men fining another group of men for having a beer while fishing... and to me, that is the real crime. Not to mention they dumped out the beers that weren't even open..... I had to look away for fear I would cry. What a waste.

Broke up with my girlfriend, typical story of two people ending up further and further apart.

Even if you know its going to happen, it's still difficult.
