True Love
How do you put the love for a pet into words? Some people don't understand how a small furry animal can be loved and mourned just as much as their human counterpart.
In my life I've lost a dog as a child and 4 cats as an adult. Each one has been a friend and a companion. Animals have a sixth sense when you are happy or sad, troubled or joyful.
My sweet 7 month old kitten Eris has been sick since New Year's Eve. Her condition is incurable. I am so angry that such a sweet little girl has had her life cut so short.
Right now I am keeping her comfortable, feeding her and giving her a lot of love. Every time I touch her she purrs and knows that she is surrounded by love.
My teenage son has shown her such affection and has been so supportive of my my rollercoaster of emotions. He promised me to be there when the time comes to put her down.
So how do you know when the time has come to end her life. There is a fine line between when it is about her and when it is about me. I hope that when the time comes I will know the difference.
Today is not the day, and probably not tomorrow, but the day is in the near future.
Sniff, dab.

the time is right when her obvious pain needs to be relieved - in an ideal world she will know this too and keep sleeping....

DB - you are so right. I sometimes wonder why I put myself through this again, but the unconditional love is hard to ignore.

why you put yourself through it is because the joy they bring you is ten-fold compared to when they go.
although me crying for years after Bear died you might question that statement.
