I have been reading this thread and now i will comment!
I am glad you followed your heart! i had a cat who had been with us for 18 years and she started to have kidney failure. We have no kids or added debt so paying for her care was not a big thing but because of her age I could not put her through what they wanted to do to her to keep her alive. And it was only going to work for about a month and she would get bad again. That was easy for us to make the call. But hard at the same time. I was not going to put her through all that to keep her alive for me. And i don't look back on it now and regret it. Oh one thing i do regret was I should have brought her home for one more night but the thought of it at the time was painful. Knowing she was going to die the next day would just ruin me!
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
