My Sweet Baby...



My sweet cat Tigger became very sick 2 days ago, and we found out he has a large tumor in his stomach.  The vet hydrated him yesterday, and today we made the choice to bring him home for a few days to spend more time with him, and say goodbye.  On Monday, we will have to put him to sleep.  We are all so incredibly sad.  Poor Emma is beyond heartbroken, as am I.  I don't know what is harder, knowing you will lose him in 2 days, or just doing it.  But we gave Emma the choice, and she wanted to bring him home, and I did too.  I just couldn't bring myself to do it today.  So, if you don't hear from me for a few days, please understand.  This is the absolute worst part of having pets.

  1. Oh man. Huge hugs to you. I'm so sorry to hear you have to do this. Pets become so much a part of our lives that losing one is losing a member of the family. That picture paired with your words got me choked up. Hang in there.
