[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.
Laura, I'm so sorry. Your poor DH.
Thanks, everyone for making me feel better.
Plus when ltc is a little older, she will have all sorts of falls out running into things.
Ha! No, that is already a daily occurrence. She does everything at top speed and never looks to see what she is stepping on. So, she tumbles often.
Poor Penny, too. It was an accident, but the love and care she had in her last months was not an accident.
This. WindSparrow, you really do put things so beautifully.
In old blind cat news, my queen bitch kitty Xusha may be nearing her end. She's not really eating, and this morning when I made a point of petting her before I left, her little motor could barely turn over (she didn't really purr). I'm going to make an appointment for Friday, I just don't know if it will be *the* appointment.
Oops. Crying on the job site again. Back to work.

I'm sorry, smonster.

Aw, smonster. That's so hard. I'm having lots of Xusha memories right now. She's a great cat.
She's somewhere around 18, and I've had her for over 14 years, so it's been a good long run. And maybe she just needs new meds or something, but… she has kidney failure. NGL, there's a part of me that hopes this is it so the decision will be done. That period of trying to guess when an animal is ready to go is just… agonizing.
Remember her at the peak of her evil powers, escaping the porch to smoke cigarettes with the Pink Ladies and lying in wait to ambush Lulu.

Absolutely. On the other hand, the vet has been through this many times before and should be able to give you good advice.
We made The Appointment for Marie and then, on the day of, she rallied. We were tempted to give her a little longer. But the vet convinced us that it was best to let her go on a good day because she wouldn't have to go through the final decline, which could happen any day. (Marie was 16, so she didn't have a bad run, either.)
