I'm waiting on a call from the oncologist to find out options, but I'm not very hopeful. Three years ago I lost my grandmother, my mother and my 16 year old cat within a 9 month span. My Chi helped me survive that time. I'm not mentally or emotionally prepared (who ever is) to lose him. His parents are alive and well, his siblings are alive and well, he's never been sick his entire life.
It's a terrible nightmare. I'm doing my best to spoil him (he won't eat much, though) and love on him. It's the little things right now that are so painful though: he loves fetch, but yesterday only ran after the toy three times before stopping; he loves french fries, and so on the day I took him to the oncologist, I went by and got him some, he was so excited in the drive through . . . but then wouldn't even touch them.
I'm trying to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for all this, I'm trying to get through work each day, trying to be a good employee and finish everything, meet all my deadlines. But all of it seems impossible.
I just had to get this off my chest and share with others. It is and will continue to be a hard time - the memories of my cat suffering (kidney failure) and then finally having to make THAT decision are still so fresh in my mind and heart. Again, it just seems impossible to deal with.
