Beth, I am so sorry. Much peace for you and Andy cat.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Beth, I am so sorry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am so sorry, Beth. That is such a rough place to be...
My vet is being amazing today. The whole office really.
It's gratifying to know that there are really excellent people out there among the Tinos of the world.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
End-of-life decisions for pets are so damned difficult. {{{beth & Andy}}}

“Not dead yet!”

No kidding. And might I add a public shout out to Dr. B., our vet, and the whole staff at the veterinary hospital who did everything to keep Moosh with us.

Our wings are not tired
Shir and Beth, so many hugs to both of you!
We have two older pets here and it's going to be so hard on both Kristin and I when their time comes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My mom wants me to check with my doctor before using crutches, to make sure they won't hurt my shoulder. I said that I'm pretty sure that I can tell if they'll hurt my shoulder by actually trying them and seeing how my shoulder feels better than he can by looking at my charts and talking to me on the phone. I know what it feels like when there's too much pressure on a joint, and I know what movements are OK for me and which aren't. Anyway, my mother has decided that the actual reason that I'm not calling the doctor about this is phone anxiety, and she's trying to guilt-trip me by telling me that she's not sure she's comfortable having me listed as the person to make medical decisions for her if she can't and my dad can't, because if I'm this "hesitant" to contact a doctor about myself, she's not sure she can trust me to take care of her. We've been through this before. If me saying, "I will be able to talk to doctors on the phone about you if I need to" doesn't convince her, then she can change the documents so that it says my sister makes those decisions. But she's not doing that, she's just hanging this over my head any time I make a medical decision for myself that she doesn't like.
