Mittens Is Gone Options

Please, I just want to tell someone who will understand what i am feeling.
Last night, my husband and I had to make the choice to put our cat to sleep. Mittens had been in very poor shape for the last day and a half. She was on oxygen most of teh time. She only had fifty percent lung capacity, possibly do to Emphasema. The vet had her in this aquarium while they were giving her oxygen. I got to pet her a little, but most of the day yesterday she was eclosed in the tank and I couldn't touch her. My husband met me there after he finished work, I had wanted him to see her and be there with me for the toughest decision of my life. They had her on all kinds of medication and I don't think she even knew that we were there with her. That hurts so much. I can't stop crying. Her sister is still with us and it is hard to look at her without being reminded of Mittens. I am not alone, am I?

Third Time I've Edited This!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss, and no, you're definately not alone. When my first baby, Kim, died, I was so upet at loosing her I couldn't bear to look at my other dog, Cindy, just the thought of her lying in the same place as Kim brough tears to my eyes. In time though I was so thankful for having Cindy, not as a replacement, nothing could ever do that, but as having her there as a reminder of Kim.

We had to make the awful decision today, for Cindy, and it's devastating. Yesterday we were told that the drip was doing no good, Cindy'd been on a drip since Friday, not eating since last Thursday. We wanted to go and see her so much, but the vet told us that it wouldn't be a good idea. This morning we were told that Cindy wasn't going to improve and, because of the way she was with us, because of how much we knew her, we knew we had to say goodbye. She was, and always will be, our Baby, I'm still very numb, but I know that we were given eight and a half wonderful years, nothing can ever take that away from us!

Love Nicky
