I Now Understand


I want to warn everyone that this is not a happy post and I am sorry that I have to share bad news, but I wanted to be able to get it off my chest.

We had to euthanize our cat Paris last night. But before you judge us you must understand that he was very badly injured by a neighborhood dog and that it was really the more humane choice. In fact, he was so badly injured that really there wasn't much they could do for him, except for perform several surgeries that he probably wouldn't have lived through anyway.

Words can't express what goes through a person's mind when they have to make a decision like this, but I will tell you one thing, I hope I never have to make that decision again.

I want to also say that I am sorry for anyone else that has ever had a pet pass away, especially in this manner. My heart goes out to you.
