The topic: Send safe passage thoughts to Mickey today

----------------------------------------------

We’re going to say goodbye.  Last week, he was eating chicken and kibble and Friskies and Fancy Feast, he was following me around the yard, snuggling up to me in bed…. This week, he’ll eat baby food if I put it under his nose in a spoon.  He can barely walk, he’s getting so weak.

I think his kidneys have finally given out. 

I know in my heart and mind that he’s not going to get better, so we’re going to say goodbye.

I hate this part.



I’m so sorry about Mickey. I’ve had to make the same decision myself, and it’s so hard. Bless you for the love you give to all of your babies. If I could set up a yard like yours, I would be taking in as many as I could. You know you’re doing the kindest deed you can for Mickey, and he knows it, too.

Well, Mickey’s still with us. You know what an emotional rollercoaster it is.  He’s just so alert that we just can’t bring ourselves to take him in. If he wasn’t eating or drinking or was just lethargic and barely responsive we wouldn’t hesitate to do the right thing. 

But he isn’t any of those things.
