BroadwayRay Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Don't know if you have it, but I highly recommend pet medical insurance. It's saved me thousands of dollars over the years and taken a layer of the stress out of dealing with when our dogs or cats get sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke up this morning and our 16 year old Cat Luke had a bloated, distended stomach. Brought him to the clinic figuring he had a constipation issue or something....Vet walks up to me and my heart sunk. First words out of his mouth were, "I'm so sorry...". Luke the Cat, my friend of 16 years, the pet my kids call "Our older Cat brother" has a large mass that has now caused organ failure. His normal checkup in March was, "Hes doing well, but feed him Hydrolyzed Protein food".... I took him home so we could all have another day with our buddy, got him all of his favorite foods, let him sit in the sun for one last afternoon, and tomorrow he moves on from this existence. I'm sick. Its one thing after another. Dad has Cancer, father in law has cancer, and now my damn Cat has cancer. 3 days before my 50th Birthday. We gave Luke a damn good life, safe, happy, well fed Indoor cat that was always such a talkative dude. And I have to take him to his end tomorrow. I'm sad. I'm going to miss him, and it isn't real for my kids yet. Tomorrow is gonna suck. Free, Im glad your pup is wellisI wish Old Luke got better news today...

There's a strange difference between losing people and losing pets, at least for me. I've lost many family, friends and loved ones in my life. The pets though...you end up having to make that decision for them, and it can haunt you. There's something very unsettling, making an appointment to end a loved one's life. I'd say good luck, or some other trivialities, but the best you can hope for is to make it through and let time heal. For all the years of love and devotion they give us, there always seems to be no comfort when our time together ends. I hate this for you, brother. Hope your family can lean on each other and the happy memories for some solace. God bless Luke and your whole family. -Darrell 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your family gave him a GREAT life. And yes, he was family. If this is the 1st time for the kids, it may be difficult and confusing and they probably react very differently from each other.

munchmemory Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 @Jet_Engine1 Very, very sorry to hear of all the illness in your family. And now the loss of your buddy, Luke (he was a gorgeous cat). People who have never had a pet can't appreciate how much they become a part of your family. Condolences on the loss of Luke. And best wishes for your Dad and Dad-in-law maintaining the fight against their cancer. Weird place to say it. But also congratulations on your 50th as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop letting him watch replays of last year's Jet games. Those symptoms describe every Sunday evening in the fall/winter of 2020 for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
