Welcome to Dana's blog!

Mikey's gone now...........

Thank for all your prayers. Mike is gone now. He was sauntering thru the living room at 7 and I picked him up. Unfortunately I had to put him in the carrier then (lest he escapea nd I spend too much time finding him) and set him on the bed where he normally sat and talked to him until Dh took him. I just felt like I betrayed him cuz he completely freaks out at hte vet and I didn't go. I'm not sure if DH is being really nice or just flat out scared, but HE just out of the blue said we'd have a funeral tonight (which should be the quitest funeral on the planet cuz DH will have NOTHING to say and I doubt I'll be able to talk) and he called my sister and told her to come over today. I realized he asked Joey last night if we had gone to library adn we hadn't and we had no plans for leaving today (and we didn't leave Monday).

And there aren't many traces of Mikey left here. The litter boxes are gone and I've cleaned (and mopped and dusted!LOL) the bathrooms. The things he laid on (that had his hair) are in the washer. This was harder than I thought in some ways.

I sure hope my kids out live me cuz I don't know how I'd survive that.......

I have the entire house clean but I didn't do under the bed. I'll do that after my sister comes. The kids (who are completely unaffected by this) are just being kids and I want some quiet.

Good for you!

You actually did it!! Chin up ... it will get better!! Although (I don't want to scare you), you will miss him for a very long time (how about the times I dream of one of my animals and wake up crying? Most of them have been gone for over 30 years!) ... but that is natural and you are not different or crazy to miss him. Hopefully you will have a happier life now. And how wonderful for your husband to understand and offer the funeral and get your sister there for you.

Mikey

Dana,

I know how hard this must be. I know when Mom and Dad had Taffy put down (long after I left home), how difficult it was. Pets really are like children... I don't even want to think about when we lose our three cats. Just know that he is at peace now.

Love you,
Suzy
