Thank you. I know it was the right thing to do but knowing that doesn't make it easier.

I am sorry to hear that. It is hard to say goodbye to a pet that has been a part of the family for a long time. I remember the time we took our cat to the vet for the last time. It was terrible to carry the empty crate back to the car, but I also know that it was the right decision.

Rest in peace Tiger. I feel so sorry for you. I had my dog, Magic, die in 2015 and my dog, Secret, die in 2018. She was 9 years old and he was 14 years old. I love the photo of Tiger on your desk from 4 years ago.

It is so painful losing a pet. I am so sorry for your wife, you and your son! I am glad you were able to do this since your son wasn't able to be there to do it. I am sure he really appreciated it!

Thank you. My son was home over Thanksgiving and Tiger was doing okay then. But over the last week and especially the last few days it became obvious he was ready to make the trip over the Bridge.

Thank you, Jennifer. Please pray especially for my son. I think it is hitting him the hardest. Tiger was his cat. He brought Tiger home as an 8-week old kitten and they were together every day until our son went off to college.

It is always a truly sad situation @DWDavis and boy do I understand how you feel. I've been there too many times and it is always heart-wrenching. And at 19-years old, it doesn't make it any easier; if anything, it is harder. I'm so sorry you lost your loving baby.

My heart goes out to you. Poor Tiger. May he Rest In Peace. We just went through that with our son’s cat, Kuma, on October 18th. We still cry over her.

I remember when you lost Kuma and know you know how we're feeling. We have to take comfort in knowing they are at peace now.

@DWDavis Thank you, and I certainly know how you feel. Yes, they are at peace and no longer suffering, but we have to get through the grieving process. It’s still too fresh and they leave such a void in our heart and lives.

So sorry to hear this. Always hard to let a loved pet go. Just think of Tiger up there in heaven leaping and chasing butterflies. He will be with you in spirit.
