I wish I could have seen him one more time, but my wife didn't want him to suffer for another day. He was a great companion for 14 years and we definitely spoiled him. At least I know he had a great life.

Be happy he had a great life and you enjoyed your time together. RIP Frosty

Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: Jack on September 14, 2014, 03:24:51 PM Aw man, you've certainly got my sympathy. When our last cat got really old and we had to have her put to sleep it was the saddest day of my life. But it's best to just think about what a good life you provided for them, that's all you can do :smile:
Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: Silverlady on September 14, 2014, 08:17:54 PM So sorry to hear about losing your pet. We recently lost our 14 year old cat, Dixie. She was basically a house cat, but loved lazing in the sun on the back deck. About 2 months ago she just suddenly took off and never came back. We searched everywhere, put up signs, but nothing. Animals sometimes act strangely when they get old. I hope she's in "cat heaven" (if there is one) and chasing bugs. I miss my girl. :bluesad:

Frosty, too. Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: retrorussell on September 14, 2014, 11:27:21 PM 14 years is a good, long life. :thumbup: Be happy for him.
Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: The Burgomaster on September 14, 2014, 11:31:33 PM I just spoke to my wife again and she is lost without her little companion. Luckily, we have another dog to give her some comfort until I get home on Wednesday. This business trip couldn't have come at a worse time.
Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: Flangepart on September 15, 2014, 08:13:26 AM I know how it feels. PeeWee lived to be 19. A little (mostly) black and tan hound. A good dog will hang out with you when everyone else is p**sed at you.
Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: Olivia Bauer on September 16, 2014, 12:33:03 PM Euthanizing a beloved pet is really hard, I've had to end my own dog's life too. Just remember it's not murder, it's mercy.
Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: The Burgomaster on September 16, 2014, 04:11:04 PM Euthanizing a beloved pet is really hard, I've had to end my own dog's life too. Just remember it's not murder, it's mercy. I keep saying this to myself. But the selfish part of me wishes we could have kept him around for at least a few more days. Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: Flangepart on September 16, 2014, 05:56:14 PM We know. But if they will suffer, it's more loving to let them go.
It still stinks, but... Title: Re: So long, pal Post by: akiratubo on September 16, 2014, 06:37:20 PM He looked like a happy little fellow. He obviously had a good family. RIP, indeed, Frosty.
