The Ole Girl decided it was time to go. She was older than the hills and quite tired, afterall. She died today at about one o’clock. She stretched her legs, took a final, deep breath, and then it was over. As I mentioned, she was very old and renal failure was inevitable, so Dan and I had begun to mentally prepare for her death a long while ago. But it sucks.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss, Courtney. Our pets are like one of the family, aren’t they?

I am so, so sorry Courtney.
You and Dan and the rest of the furkids are in my thoughts.

Craig, yep, they sure are. And a pet being a gazillion years old doesn’t really make it any better.
Thank you Laurie, the other cats have noticed that something is wrong and have started to fuss.

I’m so sorry for your loss!
We kept wishing that our last dog would be able to die in her sleep at home. No such luck.
