I love seeing everyone's photos of their pets!
Really made me smile!

We lost one of our beloved kitties last Wednesday... Virgil, our only boy.
I am sure a couple of you remember seeing pics of our cats way back when.
He was only six, but he had CHF and it was a heartbreaking day.
We took a long time to say goodbye...
He laid on his favorite stool in the sun Wed. morning, and then I took him out on the balcony for a while.
Then hubby and I had to take him to our vet that afternoon.
She was wonderful! His respirations were coming at 50-60 per minute... it was so hard for him to breathe.
She gave him a sedative, and it slowed his breathing down so he no longer struggled for air.
Then we just held him a while until he went to sleep...
She then returned, and everything ended peacefully.
We miss him very much.
