I did call my vet. today. We had a good long talk and he really feels the best thing we can do is put T.J. down. I know it's the right thing - but still so hard. T.J.'s having even more difficulty moving his hind end. I did get him to eat some tuna. Just a bit ago he worked his way to the basement door (his litter box used to be down there). I picked him up and took him to the bathroom to where the litter box is now. I placed him in it, he couldn't even get his hind end up all the way to pee. But he did pee and then bless his heart, still tried to be a good kitty and turn around and cover it up with litter. I know it may seem silly - but I just about broke into tears again when I saw him trying to do that. I carried him back to the living room (he's been sleeping all day on the dog bed there). He went to the couch though, so I put him up there and sat by him. He tried to climb onto me, so I picked him up and cuddled him for awhile. I'm going to sleep out there with him again tonight. We'll be taking him in tomorrow, then bringing him home with us and burying him in the backyard. I'm just so thankful for the 12 wonderful years we had with him. He was without a doubt a loving and loyal family member.

it may help for all family members to have their own special talk you know we are all here for you and your family for what ever you decide............

thoughts and prayers .......

I'll be thinking of you today. Oh my, you have me in tears now.
