This is a very sad day. If there was a smilie with tears, I'd be using that one.

We had to put my sweet little kitty of 15+ years to sleep today. And I couldn't even be there 'cause I am at work. She's there right now, at the vet's, and I am here and I feel so sad. Hubby took her and will bring her little body home for burial. I decorated a box to put her in. It won't be the same without her in the house to trip over! No more cat hair to sweep and vacuum, either. Never though I'd miss that, but I bet I will for awhile. She's been getting more and more feeble. She wasn't eating much. Then she quit eating completely for two days. I could not bear to let her starve to death. At least this way, it will over for her with no suffering. We had taken her in to the vet just a couple weeks ago, and there was really nothing wrong - just age. Poor baby........ she was such a sweet little cat. This is going to take some time to get past. For all of us. DH was very attached to her, as were the boys. I can't keep the tears out of my eyes right now......... good thing there are no customers at the moment. Tho' I think most people would understand.

Thanks for letting me unload. It helps to be able to do so in a place where I know people will understand.
