Will is here, I'm feeling a little better. Dean keeps running around and wants to be petted a lot. Will and I are going to get some lunch and then he's going to help me with some stuff around the house I've put off.

I'm going to take care of myself today and go to work tomorrow.

aksye, how devastating. I am so, so sorry. You loved Maddie and you did your best. Sometimes bad things happen even when we do our best, and it's not our fault. Glad Will is there to take care of you.

{{askye}} and no you should not blame your self for not knowing more than the vet.

Will came up, he was a great comfort. We had lunch and he's taken Maddie back to his farm to bury next to many dogs and 2 of his favorite cows. I didn't go because he lives an hour away and I didn't want to drive and it's just not reasonable for him to take 3 hours to - drive me down, drive me back, drive himself home.

Plus I really just want to take a nap.

Dean is being extra affectionate and I don't know what his kitty brain understands but I'm going to see how he does as an only cat.

Askye, so sorry. Have lost a pet before her time, but she was a dog. my cats tend to have comically long runs, but I know how powerless you must feel and how much you miss your friend.

Oh askye, sweetheart, I'm so sorry. When Zoe died last year, she had sudden seizures and died before we could get her to the ER vet, and I felt horribly guilty. It took a long time for me to let go of that guilt. Try to be kind to yourself--you gave her a good life and cared for her. It's not your fault. I'm so glad Will was there for you.

oh askye,

I'm so sorry. Please don't blame yourself.

{{askye}} I am so sorry, that's a really rough thing to have to face. You did the best you could for Maddie, she was very fortunate to have you as her human for the time she was with you.

(((Askye))) I'm so sorry. I know how upsetting and difficult it is, but she knew she was loved, and you were a good human for her.
