The heartache is inevitable.

Sigh. Another trip to the vet. Another furry friend lost. With every pet we have ever loved, there is always the sadness of knowing that one day you will have to make "that" decision. It is so heart wrenching, and it never gets easier. It is especially hard when you have to watch them get sicker and sicker, and you cant do anything about it. Josh and Lauren went with me, and Josh really stepped up, and helped me through it. I wished I could have waited for Seth to go with me, but I just couldnt wait, while she was struggling so much to breathe. It was quick, and she is in a better place now. I came home with a clay paw print, but we also carried out an empty carrier. That part is always hard.

Funny thing is, this was the day that we were originally supposed to leave on vacation for Florida. Seth started a new job, so we had to postpone it, but now I'm glad we did. Seth got home from the half ironman later than he thought he would, and I had a dying cat to take care of. It would have been a horrible, horrible start. I guess everything happens for a reason. I am glad it is summer break. At least I can sleep in tomorrow, because crying really wears you out.
