G'Bye ol buddy!!!

Sorry for your cat. We lost our 17 yr old dog Thanskgiving. I found him floating in the pool. I knew he couldn't swim anymore and had blocked off the pool with ropes and chairs, but he probably fell down and rolled under the ropes. He was totally deaf and getting blind, but still wanted to go for a walk every day, even though he often fell over. I never considered "putting him to sleep", least they consider that for us aging baby boomers. At least he waited until everyone was home to see him one last time. In nature, he wouldn't have passed long ago since he couldn't even climb a hill. A year ago, he rolled into a pond and couldn't get out, just flopped in the mud exhausted and cold until I carried him out.
