We had to put a friend down today. Sweetie, who was actually bequeathed to us from a long time church member was about 17 "we figure". She has lost lots of weight, losing the function of her hind quarters and "all that" back there. We've been working with her, but she's just old and broken. Vet said she had kidney failure and was likely in pain. So we made the decision to put her down. Sweetie was a good old cat. She is the white calico looking at the camera. Gos speed, Sweetie.

Good decision but it’s never easy going through this with much loved pets, all the best Rusty.
 
It”s so hard to lose a pet, I like them more than I like most people!

Sorry for your loss, Sweetie was a pretty kitty.
 
Condolences....

Putting them down is the worst decision to have make and hard to do...

It was the right thing to do in this case...

Sorry for your loss...
 
So sorry for your loss Rusty, strength my friend
 
I never know what to say. I know you miss them. I sure do.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Sweetie, I know that like me, you consider your'e critters to be your Kids. Sweetie is in no pain any more, God Bless her.

Aw, man.

Our lives are better, while they are here.

I like to think their lives are better, while they are with us.
 
It stinks when the humane thing to do is the decision you had to make. Sorry for the loss, be glad she's not hurting any longer.

Sorry to hear. This is why I haven't had a pet in a long time. Can't stand to say goodbye.
 
Dang it Rusty, you scared the hell out of me. I’ve been praying for Billy this week and you post a thread titled “Said Goodbye to a Friend”....... I’m sorry for the loss of Sweetie...... and breathing a sigh of relief!!

I was afraid to click on this for the same reason! Dammit RRR!
 
Sorry to hear this RRR.. always sucks to lose a friend. And the 4 legged kind are sometimes better friends than the human kind. You made the right choice to not let her go on in pain. Rest In Peace, Sweetie.
 
Very sorry for your loss. It never gets any easier having to make that decision, no matter how many times you have to do it. R.I.P. Sweetie...and say hi to Clarence, Skeeter, and Yanktus for me. Clarence is the cross eyed Himalayan cat. Skeeter is the orange tabby with the tater chip ear, and Yanktus is the huge yellow and white cat. I’m sure they’re at The Rainbow Bridge waiting on me.
 
Sad to hear Rob. Somehow I felt I knew her from just working on her pic for you. It’s never easy to let them go...even when you know it was for the best.

We enjoy their presence and miss them when they are gone and the sense of loss is very hard to accept but we honor their memory always.

And that went over extremely well. I cannot thank you enough. My niece really likes it. For the rest of yall, Ddaddy whipped up a collage of all the cats earlier this year for us to send to my niece while she was in basic in the Air Force. Check it out. Complete with their names. Very kind of him.
