Last Sunday I got a call that my 98 year old grandmother had died and had to rush back to Louisiana for her funeral last Tuesday. It wasn't a real sad funeral since she had lived a robust long life and we all celebrated her memory. She was joining far more than she left hind since she was one of 13 children and only 2 are still alive.
We all laughed since my grandfather had dies 24 years ago and men typically have to wait for their women so it was uproarious all the offspring imitating what he would say after waiting for her at the pearly gates for 24 years. Godspeed to you Gertrude.
Tonight I had a vet come over and put my 17 year old cat to sleep at home. If you find yourself needing to put a pet down that is the way to go about it. Far less stressful for the animal to pass at home rather than a strange place. She was a tough old kitty and just recently really began to go downhill. As long as she wanted to fight, I fought with her. She was finally ready and I let her go.
