We're going to the vet on Friday. I'm actually going out of town for the weekend and I'm boarding him there. Maybe that's a good thing. They'll be able to observe him pretty closely for three days.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Punishingly Intricate
aww ChiKat, that's so hard. There were a bunch of times with my dog Frank where we thought it was the end but when it really was we did know. I hope your vet is able to give you some guidance. It's such a difficult part of being a responsible pet owner.

Thrive to spite them
ChiKat, I went through this with Anna. It was so hard, she was still getting around, but she was losing her sight and her kidneys were shutting down. Finally it came down to just feeling like she was having more bad than good.

ChiKat, the vet should be able to tell you if your cat is in pain. I'm sorry things seem to be reaching their end.

Thanks, y'all. This really does help. I just want to do the best thing for him. I'm just afraid that my own need to keep him around will win out over what's best for him. I don't think it's time quite yet, but I do think it's probably coming soon. I just don't want it to happen at all.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
ChiKat, as much as you love him, I'm sure you will only do what is best for him. That kind of love means selflessness, not selfishness.

It's so very hard, ChiKat. I hope the vet can give you some guidance.

Oh, Jesus, poor Maria. That was horribly quick.

It was very unexpected. eta clarify: there was no expectation that this was anywhere near coming.

Because books.
That's what I was wondering, sara. I didn't think this was a possibility right now.
