    Very sad news Jerry.

    I think most of us know what you're going through and how very hard it is. Hopefully the new little kittens will bring a little happiness back into everyones lives.

    I've never had a pet/friend that long, I imagine it's a hard loss.
    Buried my dog on a mountain top, he was 4, no way of getting him to the vet. That was a lonely summer with the cattle that year, the last year. Decided that day to move to the city!
    Ugh! Losing a loved one will make you do crazy things.

    I'm sorry for your loss.
    Good to know there are the kittens, they sure do brighten things up!

    We lost Sam, our golden retriever, about 2 years ago at age 14. Felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest.

    We now have 9-month old Gil who has been able to fill the void and our hearts.

    It hurts and then it gets better. That’s all I can offer.

    Many people try to keep their pets alive for their sake not the pets.

    I think that you made the right decision.

    That's a tough one, Jerry. Even though it was heartbreaking for you,
    take comfort in knowing that for them, it was an act of mercy.

    The new kids are a blessing. Go with that.

    Its hard to make that desision when its time to put them down. You dont want to take them out too soon and you dont want them to suffer. Thanks guys. Im hoping the wife is doing as well as she says on the phone. Shes the one im worried about now.

    All of you are very kind. Thank you.

    Oh man Jerry - so sorry to hear that you had to make the terrible decision all we pet folks dread. May you have many, many happy memories.

    Very sorry for your loss Jerry.
    As a fellow pet owner I know how it feels and dread the day when I will have to go through it again.
