We lost our 18-yo girl two years ago to renal failure. She didn't meow a lot, but seemed to really enjoy being held more than she ever did when she was younger. Just spend quality time with her; you'll never regret it.

Yes, God bless Fred, and God Bless you in your kindness and love...sm
We had to put two of our pets, to gorgeous cats that had been our babies for 16+ years, in much the same story, they had gotten to the point where they were suffering and would suffer more. Horrible, heartbreaking decision, hurts like heck, but I do believe there have to be darling pets in Heaven, I cannot imagine how it would be heaven without them, they are so precious and give us so much love and happiness! So sorry for your loss!
God bless you... sm
I will be praying for you. I deal with sadness at this time every year because of relatives who died very close to Christmas. You can't help but think of them. Know that God will help you through it, with time. I pray God's blessings and healing power over you and your family. We all have to hang in there together and lift each other up during the tough times. You will get through it, as one of the other posters said. Keep focused on precious memories of loved ones and your pets as well. That seems to help me the most, and knowing I'll see them again one day.
God bless them.

Bless you and her. Sometimes it is best to
It was a hard decision for me but I wanted my Lexi to not suffer.
Please consider taking her to the vet for a humane end to her suffering.
Bless you
for considering this. Shelters are overflowing! In order to make room for more animals, some will have to be put down. Fostering gives these animals a little more time to be considered for adoption. Years ago I adopted a wonderful 9-year-old Akita mix. She had been in the shelter for her allotted time, a few months, and would have been put down because she was so old & had health problems. A wonderful volunteer took her home & fostered her for 9 months before I finally saw Echo on the shelter's weekly TV spot, & it was love at first sight. I adopted her right away. She did have a lot of health problems but was with me for 18 months & had the golden retirement she deserved. All because of someone who was willing to foster her.
God bless you..
So hard to say goodbye, even knowing it's not forever.
Take care of yourself.
God Bless You....sm
You are an angel! I am an animal lover and especially dogs.

God bless you!
You are a saint in my eyes. I love animals. I can't bear to see them with no home and no one to care for them.
God bless you, SM. sm
If only the world had more people like you, it would be a far better place.
In my book, people who abandon pets are on the same page as those who abandon babies, and deserve the same legal penalty. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. They get a slap on the wrist, nothing more, if that.
Thanks, God bless you, You never know who you may touch...nm

Just say a little prayer for her - she needs help! May God Bless her. nm

Bless your heart...Fox looks like such a sweetie. I think the memory garden would be a wonderful idea.  Cat
Aww, bless your heart! I still
love what I do, but have only been doing it for 3 years. I feel totally blessed that I actually got to quit work when my kids were 2 and 3, go to school online and actually get to work from home so I can be where they need me when they need me. I can see why what else you're doing right now, though, is so much better than MTing! Have you ever been to Women of Faith?
God bless you for caring sm
We have kept our dogs for up to 16-17, until it would have been inhumane to let them suffer, so I can feel your pain. I cried more over my dogs than I did for family as the first one was born right here in our home as well and we treat our animals as one of us. Unless one is an animal lover, others cannot understand why you could be so heartbroken. My husband took it hard as well and we were both so distraught it was worse than a human death. We had ignorant people say ignorant things such as, "it's only a dog," etc. Be comforted in knowing that those of us who love animals feel your pain. It will take a long time to get over. I could not walk past the pet food aisle without tears. The only answer to my pain was guess what? Another pet if possible. Bless you, we are here to talk. Those of us who love animals know what you've been through. You feel helpless, I'm sure, but you did your best.
Bless your heart.

bless the moderator...
thank you
God bless you and your daughter -
It sounds like she really managed to communicate what she needed, even if she didn't know how!
Thank you for yet another perspective!
God bless Bella!
There are no words to express how sorry I am about the loss of your sweet Bella. May she rest in peace.
Awe, thanks for the update. Bless you for

bless your heart...
I know just in general with how the economy is & how transcription seems to be going downhill with outsourcing that alone is enough to get anybody down. Hang in there girl. Pray and believe and God will guide you!
Bless your heart. You just don’t know.
It is ok. If you want to say single when you were separated, go right ahead. No use in arguing. You win.
Like I said above, bless your heart.
Have it your wrong way. Am not arguing. A truly single woman is 1 who has never married. If you were married you are not then a single mother. You fall into 1 of 3 categories. If you do not understand, have it your own way. I think women go by this term so others will feel sorry for them. My view on the term single woman.
Well bless your heart.

Of course bless the innocents...
No one in their right mind would place any blame or responsibility on the victims.
I was just thinking about what would drive someone to behave so violently. He obviously was troubled. His family will be vilified while they are grieving.
I often look at things from an odd angle.
Bless your heart....sm
I think I could see them die by lethal injection if they killed someone I loved. I can't say for sure cause I haven't been in that situation, but I think the anger for what the person did would be so much that I would have no problem watching them die.
Then again I may would just want to not be present out of the fact I did not want to lay eyes on them or go through the stress.
Bless your heart for caring!

How wonderful! God bless your family.
And you even get to avoid most of the heat here in Georgia during the pregnancy. LOL Seriously, a baby is such a blessing. I'm tickled for you and your family.
bless you.....mine was only 231, so I am feeling
pretty lucky to have caught it early. My Dad has high cholesterol that he has to take meds for and I am trying to avoid that, but like you said, you can't choose genetics. I am walking and eating better. Good recommendation on the fish oil pills and garlic. I can handle that, just cannot handle the taste of fish unless it is shrimp or lobster and can't afford the lobster all the time, so there ya go. Good luck getting yours back down!!
Bless your heart, don’t know a 2006 BMW
when you see one. Sorry maybe your day will come one of these days. Good luck!
Already bought twice since Friday. Bless them.

Bless my heart, I do know. I had the guts to
take the help that was needed to feed and clothe my kids. That was 20+ years ago and I would do it all again to see my children healthy and happy. 
Bless you, you have a kind heart! ....nm

Made me cry. Bless her for rescuing - rescuers
are a very special breed themselves, no matter which breed they rescue.
Bless your heart for having Therapy Dogs!
I think that's a wonderful program and hat's off to you for taking the time to do it!
God bless your sis, Laura, I lost three babies in a row...sm
and had to have four operations just to get pregnant, I had severe polycystic ovarian disease all my life, the tears we both shed were unbelievable, but we would have gone on to adoption....thankfully, the last-distch operation which was risky worked and I got pregnant and had my daugher that same year (although I had a stroke with the pregnancy and a postpartum hemmorrhage where I almost went bye=bye), but I adore these kids even more, the two sons I had after Ashley were miracles, too. My friend who endured years of IVF was so SICK from all the meds and shots, she gained lots of weight, had horrible cramping at times, was nauseaous most of the time, and all she wanted was one healthy baby to love. As I said, she adopted finally, it took 2-1/2 years for it to go through, and THEN she spontaneously got pregnant and gave birth. So many stories like this!
God bless you,. what a jerk doctor with Kelcie...nm

Bless your heart, they were talking about paying on principal
and that is when I talked about paying also. Don't hate. I have been in bad shape before. When I was there, I worked and worked and worked to make my ends meet and now, well what can I say? Again, not good to have hate in your heart.
God bless ya! I can always count on my computer savy co-workers SM
for answers! Thanks again. I had that terrible question rolling around in my head all day and worrying myself to death. 
This will be a lesson well learned in the future. 
Bless your heart I hope it works out for you too....No we are not in New England. We live in the So

Glad to hear your cat is doing better! Something that may be helpful - I had a cat who made it to 17 yearsw of age. Three years before he passed, he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. It was difficult to get him to take the medication by mouth, so my vet suggested getting the med made up at a compounding pharmacy. The med was in the form of a paste that went behind his ear, and that ensured he got the med and we didn't have to hassel every day.

My cat died about 2 months ago. She stopped eating, drank a little bit, just stayed in the closet flat out. I couldn't afford to take her to the vet ($75.00 to euthanize) and I could tell that she wasn't in pain. She purred and let me pat her once in a while, but for the most part she stayed in the closet. She finally crawled to the back of the closet and died, I hope peacefully. I miss her. I want another cat (have had them all my life) but will not get one unless/until I have the money to properly take care of her when necessary. Last July she had several rotten teeth. The vet removed all but 5 of her teeth ($600.00) which I am still paying out. She was about 14-15, so up in years. I feel for you. My gut feeling, though, is to euthanize her before it's a weekend and you can't do anything and she's in pain. You're only prolonging the inevitable, IMO. Take care.
My kitty
Thank you to everyone who helped me through these last couple of weeks with my beautiful cat with bone cancer. We finally put her to sleep yesterday and it was very difficult for us but for her it was very quick and nontraumatic. The hardest part for her was the ride down to the vet's because she hates/hated that part. We then took her to the cremation place and should have her ashes back within a week. I didn't write until now because my heart is still very sad. I still haven't picked up her "things" around the house but will probably try to do that tonight or I may only be able to do a couple of things at a time, but that's okay.
I wrote about our milk prices here and it got me thinking how we probably won't have to buy as much milk now or the whole roasted chickens at Costco we used to buy for her. She would share some with us but it was really Mochi's chicken. She would come running in from outside whenever we cooked chicken too. Plus she would do what we called "praying to the refrigerator God" for something good to eat, she would sit in front of the refrigerator doors and just stare at it or sometimes rub up against it until we opened it up and found something in there for her.
We hadn't been able to let her outside for a month or so so that she could warm herself in the sun, so I think she is very happily sunning herself right now, in no pain.
So sorry about your kitty...
Sounds like you did all you could and provided a wonderful home.
My new kitty-cat's name is - sm
CHARLOTTE! :)
The weekend passed with less hissing & more acceptance by my other cat. I found that feeding them at the same time (one eats on the floor, the other up on the kitchen table) seems to make them relax around each other. Charlotte sleeps in bed with me with her head on my arm, and occasionally communicates with either a little 'silent meow' or else her signature 'quacking' sound. If I say 'quack-quack' to her, she says it back. ;)
