I'm taking our boy to his final visit to the vet tomorrow.

20. So very sorry to hear this, they are not "Pets"

They are Family

The KittyMonster is 16 and recently I could tell she's slowing down some, she has years left but it's made me think about it a lot more than ever.

My Ladyfriends shadow is Yoda, he's 16 also and has slowed way down in the last year, she thinks he may have had a stroke two weeks ago.

He has almost lost the use of his right rear leg and is pretty much blind and deaf now, he's still a happy guy but it's obvious he doesn't have a year left, I'm his favorite person other than mommy and as such she has asked me if I would transport her with him to the vets when it's time.

It will destroy her so of course I said yes, he's a large golden Yorkie mutt but the sweetest little guy ever, I'm a grown 59 year old man but yes it will be a bad day for me too.

But that's the thing, you don't let Family suffer.
