It's over. My precious kitty has gone to a better place. It's been a rough couple days, but I'm also relieved that it is over. I ended up leaving work early because I was such a wreck and I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him before the appointment at 6:30. When I got home, he was even worse than he had been that morning. I believe that his kidneys were probably completely shutting down. He could hardly stand yesterday, it was just horrible. I am so glad that we decided to do it yesterday because he was suffering so badly. I cuddled with him and gave him plenty of hugs and kisses and said my goodbyes. I called my wonderful pet sitter who had been with him this weekend and she started crying but reassured me that we were doing the right thing based on her seeing how bad he had gotten. The vet told Brad that he was definitely doing the right thing too. Brad stayed the whole time and said that he just fell asleep instantly. I know that he's better off now, but it sure was hard to say goodbye.

Jennifer,
I know how hard that was to put Dexter to sleep. Unfortunately, we have to help them to escape the pain -- which is very difficult!
On the other hand, I am extremely excited about your baby!!! Congratulations :-)
Love & hugs,
Stacy, Kelly & Brooke
Sweetie,
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I remember so vividly when I had to do the same for Pepper. You will, as I always have, remember the wonderful pet that he was, and not the terribly sick one he was at the end. I love the picture you chose to post. I think that was Dexter at his best!
Remember that God takes away, but he always gives back. Your beautiful baby is his gift to you.
I love you,
Mom
