You are awesome!! My cat is sick and dying right now and we just lost our dog of 12 years that we rescued when she was 5. It makes me smile to see people who love their animals. Cats and Dogs are just small furry people!! Upvoted!!

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I will tell you what I, and the veterinarians I work with, tell people- the best thing to do is adopt a new friend right away. It will not lessen the pain of your loss, but it will help distract you and ease the mourning process. It truly helps. And you will be saving a life <3
Thank you. I will do a post on those two. A cat and a dog that loved each other so much. I am choking up. just thinking of the two of them a year ago. :(
Oh no, oh honey I want to hug you <3
Thank you kitten. I just love my animals, sometimes I love them more then some people I know. lol.
I began rescuing full time in 2009 because my then boyfriend worked for a veterinarian. I just couldn't not help! So many are put down unnecessarily- this 50 year old woman came in with a gorgeous 2 year old Persian. I was there surprising my bf with lunch, waiting for him to finish with a patient. This disgusting female was yelling at the vet to put her cat down. The reason? He was using the bathtub to urinate and defecate.
He was in absolute perfect physical health.
As much as the vet and assistant tried to explain to try a new litter, move the litterbox etc- this woman wouldn't budge. The vet then said firmly, "this is why I warned you against declawing. You should never have taken him for that procedure, which we never do because just think how messed up in the head you'd be if you awoke from sleep with your fingers amputated at the third knuckle?
Another vet pulled that vet out and pointed at me. I nodded.
The vet "reluctantly" told the woman she would perform the euthanasia. The woman filled out the necessary paperwork and the vet told her she would do it after she took care of her waiting appointments. Woman left. Vet gifted me the almost $400 for the "procedure" for my rescue.
I went to the clinic to bring lunch and left with a kitty :) I figured out his preferred litter and box placement over the next few weeks and found a perfect home for him :)
Rescuing has certainly left me jaded against some people...
Had to go in search of this post I wrote about the rescue :)
OMG. People like that should be put down. That is horrible!. I don't mean that of course but putting an animal down for any other reason other than the animal is terminally ill, uncurable and in severe pain is an absolute horror. Thank God for people such as yourself. :) I am going to go read that post of yours now.
I had the same thought while listening to her! That she should be put down.
Just sayin ;)
