A sad day

  • Mood: Sadness
It's raining outside now, almost as though the heavens are mourning along with Janet and me. Today was the day we had to let Booger go.

It was inevitable, ever since he'd been diagnosed with the cancer in his upper jaw. The swelling was starting to close his left eye, and the vet told us it's possible the cancer was growing behind his eye as well, putting uncomfortable pressure on it. The visible sore was painful to look at, he was staring to lose his appetite... all the signs were saying "it's time".

RIP Booger


I wish now that I'd taken more pictures of Booger when he was younger and healthy; it was hard to find a good picture of him. Booger was a good cat, and we will miss him terribly.

Having Pepper around now will be good after all. We'd originally not planned to get another cat until Booger passed, but circumstances dictated otherwise. Now, at least, Pepper will keep the house from feeling empty, and all the love and care we gave Booger we can now give to Pepper.

Wow, it's always hard to loose a pet and it sounds like a really amazing thing to have another cat to care for even though you hadn't planned for it.

I feel you, DCM. We had to let one of our dogs, Logan, go almost a year ago. He had lymphoma and after battling it for so long, he couldn't even eat. So my mother took him to the vet and "put him to sleep". Unfortunatly, she had to do it alone, because my father and I had work that day. We were still sad about it though.

It'll be alright. Just keep him alive with memories in your heart.

It's very sad to lose such a cute kitty like Booger. May he forever rest in peace.

Sorry to hear about Boog's passing, Dave.

Speaking from experience, my one and only dog -- Jonathan (sheltie/bassett/chow mix) -- was with me for ten years before he succumbed to canine leukemia. Was a sad day to bring him home to bury him in the grandparent's back yard. That's where all the family pets were placed.

I miss my Jon, but I'll always cherish the time spent with my good, four-legged friend.

Hope you can do the same with Boog. Keep the faith, my friend.

my sympathies - I had to have one of my dogs put down a few days ago, too - she was old and feeble, blind and toothless... but she was a loving little mutt all the way to the last.

Pets are so much a member of the family. I still remember the pain of losing them. You did the right thing as hard as it is. I am sorry for your loss.
