DAY 23/SESSION 3 RESPECTING LIFE?

[Mariana Velasquez]

Today is a hard and sad day for me. I have to put down my cat. I've been always against of taking a decition like this. I always thought the life of animals should be respected until the end, and to die is as natural as to live. Three months ago the veterinary told me it was the time to put my cat dow because of a tumor he had in the gland thyroid. I'mhappy of not had allowed that on that time. My cat has been so happy this time! But since yesterday I can realize the tumor has grown too much and my old friend since yesterday can not eat and bearly drink water or breath. He is already 18 years old and came to my life three and a half years ago. He was in the street and just chose me. He decided to stay in my garden and after a month I realize he was living with me. He is soooo gentle! He became my best friend, Today I have to take the decision to put him down and I don't know yet if this is more for me (to not see him dying litlle by little) or if I'm doing this for him to cut his suffer.
Bye old friend. Thankyou for your company this three years.

i am also sorry for your pain. any loss is hard, and losing the unconditional love of a pet is really tragic. my thoughts are with you.

Hi Mariana Your blog made me sad, I know what it's like to go through losing your cat, I have been there myself. You are doing the kindest thing and your cat will thank you for it. My cats are still around me in spirit I often catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of my eye. The best way I found to get over the loss was to get another, NOT to replace the one that has died, but to ease your pain and help you heal. Animals are so intuitive they always know what you need & how to give it. Will be thinking of you. JJx
