1127.0. "CASSIE" by SAHQ::CARNELL () Fri Feb 19 1988 12:22

    Wish my husband and me strength today and this evening.  We are
    leaving work early, picking up Cassie and going to the vet to have
    her put to sleep.  A week and a half ago she started going down
    hill.  We think she may have had a stroke and as of Wednesday night
    she doesn't seem to be in control of her bladder.
    
    This cat is really the sweetest cat ever.
    
    We've had her since we were twenty years old.  She is one month
    short of being 20 herself.
    
    It's going to be a tough day.

1127.2She will always be with you.BAGELS::ALLENFri Feb 19 1988 14:0812
    I don't know what else to say, except that I felt a tug at my heart
    when I read your entry.  We all will have to deal with similar
    heartbreaks at some time or another, so I feel a great deal of empathy
    for you.  Be comforted in the fact that while it is difficult to make
    such a decision, it is, nonetheless, a very unselfish thing for you to ease
    Cassie's misery.  Her spirit will always go on with you.
    
    I hope you can find the strength you need to get you through this
    difficult time, for my thoughts will certainly be with you.
                                                                
    Amy.

    Our symanthy is with you, too.  I know that it was very hard for
    you to make this decision.  I have had to make a similar decision
    in the past.  Our prayers are with you.

1127.5Our prayers with youMEMV01::BULLOCKFlamenco--NOT flamingo!!Fri Feb 19 1988 14:2917
    My prayers and thoughts are with you, too.  This is not easy, and
    anyone who says "It's just a cat" has my vote for Mr./Ms. Insensitive.
    Please stay in touch here;  this is a wonderful file for all kinds
    of good support and strength.
    
    God gave us dominion over the animals, and I think He also wants
    us to be aware that our animal friends don't have the lifetimes
    we do, and to act accordingly.  We love animals for many reasons,
    and one reason is to keep on loving them by having more than one
    in a lifetime.  Each cat is special in its own way, and doesn't
    come into our lives to "replace" a previous one.  
    
    I hope that when you are ready you will have room in your heart
    for a new companion(s).  Until then, best of luck to you and yours,
    and our love to Cassie.

1127.10Warm thoughts are with you.GRECO::MORGANDoris Morgan DTN 223-9594Sat Feb 20 1988 02:5510
    It is never easy to make the decision to say good-bye to such a close
    and long-term friend.  I still cry from empathy and personal grief when
    I read notes like this, and it's been 16 months since I had to make a
    similar decision.  We send you our warmest thoughts and encourage you
    to think about all the good times, all the loving memories, and the
    wonderful life you shared with your friend and companion.  It takes
    a lot of courage to do the unselfish thing to ease the pain and
    suffering of your dear pet. 
    
    Take care.
