I'm sorry for your loss. You made Max the best promise ever when you told him he would never suffer.

I'm so sorry to hear about Max. What you did was courageous and selfless, putting him out of him misery. I hope you find comfort in your memories of your kitty.

Oh that's such a hard thing to do, but the right thing nonetheless. DH and I have always agreed to do the same for our pets when the time comes, when, as you noted of Max, their quality of life has deteriorated beyond our control. I hope you really are comforted by the thought that your dear friend is now free from pain. And I'm sure he'd be happy to know you're enjoying life with your new bike.

Oh man! I started to tear up! I am soooo sorry for your loss. But he is not in pain anymore and that is the main thing. I had a friend who had a really hard time making that call and the poor animal suffered because she wanted him to stay. I told her it was not fair. And that we are being a bit selfish when we do this. I was being harsh with her only cause I have been there. Now I know better and if my loved one is in pain and all avenues have been taken with no help it truely is the nicest gift we can give.
A moment of silence for Max........................Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Do you have a picture of Max so that we can see what the handsom boy looked like? In your own time of coarse.

I am so sorry for your loss! My dogs are my babies, my inlaws can't understand when I tell them we don't need kids right now. I have made the promise to never let them suffer, so I can imagine being in your shoes one day.
Sorry for the bittersweet day, but it sounds like Max went on in peace. Take care.Amanda
