The topic: And we just said goodbye to Gracie Anne.

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

Georgie's sister.

She's spent the past ten years or so in the garage. She just felt more comfortable out there. Over the years she got thinner and thinner, but she always hung in there. Yesterday she wasn't looking good at all. I gave her fluids and lots of watered down A/D. She ate with a good appetite. Today, she turned her nose up at tuna. She slept on a clean blanket and I watched her as she woke up. She didn't know I was there watching. She couldn't stand up. At all. 

Earlier today Brian said he thought we'd have until next week. We didn't.

That's it. No more. No more for months. I don't want to do this any longer.

The topic: Captain’s gone.

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

Before the appointment, he was in the yard, on the railroad ties by the pool, stretching and scratching. He was beside the house when he saw Brian. He ran into the house. I picked him up and cuddled him to my shoulder while Brian got the carrier.

He was gasping, trying to breathe. He went quietly.

And now it's time to remember the good, not the goodbye.

Right now. I just called the vet, we're taking him in at 11:40 to say goodbye.
