I’m so sorry Mike. Like WVU said, I feel like we all knew Walter, maybe because you always called him by name. You made the right call. I remember agonizing about eventually having to put down my diabetic dog. It sucks. But you did the right thing….better earlier than later when they are suffering. RIP sweet kitty Walter.

I now need a new routine, walter would always wake me up in the morning by jumping on the bed, then the first thing I'd do is give him fresh food and water and give him his injection, then I'd go downstairs and clean his box since he'd go a lot being a diabetic. Today i got up and there was nothing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 sorry to hear this mike our pet rabbit has started peeing on a pet bed and then licking it, instead of the litter box, told my wife that was a really bad sign sad that we often love our pets more than friends/relatives but that's the way it is... pet can destroy the house and i'm 1% as mad as if my kids did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcarroll33 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I lost my cat 2 months ago of 14.5 years. His twin sister is still alive. Grabbed them up when I was working a college summer job at Enterprise washing cars with a junk yard right behind it. His twin sister is still alive. Anyways I was crushed when he left me, but I read this little quote from a mere child about why our pets don't get to live as long as us and stay with us and it made me smile. "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” "Well, dogs/cats already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcarroll33 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Also like everybody said, a pet finds you. Those cats came a year after my previous cat, who was my grandfather's cat had just died out of nowhere. My dad found him dead one am laying near my mom's printer. My brother and I were both at college, and my mom was out of town for work. That was my grandfather's cat, and I'm sure that crushed my dad to find him all by himself. That cat went and gardened with my grandfather every day until the day he had to go to the nursing home. A few months later my grandmother fell and broke her hip. I lived right next door to them, so my dad one day just walked the cat home with us. He became attached to me pretty quick. When he died it was a heavy loss because it was like losing another piece of my grandparents. Then a year later I stumbled upon these cats at a junkyard as little 3 week old kittens. Funny how the right pets come in unexpectedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
