Today I lost my best friend....Max, our 15 year old kitty. It was devastating and I've not stopped crying. To make things worse, I thought our 10 year old dog was depressed because his fur buddy was so sick, only today we also found out that she is in chronic renal failure and may not make it. She is at the emergency vet now on IV fluids and hoping that things are not too far gone. My adult kids and I are devastated.

I've not been eating much this week but now can not even stomach a mouth full of food. I just want to curl up with my love bugs so badly and now I can't. My kids have gone to their friends for solace as I sit here and feel sorry for myself. ????

I'm so sorry.

Thank you @JustWatchMe. It's been a tough couple of days.....

Sorry you are dealing with 2 failing pets [emoji171][emoji174]

We love them so much and we DO know someday they have to go....still hurts so deeply ...

First time I do not have a dog. Ever! Miss that "doorbell". Not ready for vet and hair and pee and poop and rain walks... Maybe someday again. I miss the company. ALOT

Hope you have good friends and a good cry...

Thank you @@Julie norton It's definitely so hard. We knew our aging diabetic kitty was losing ground but our dog was only 10 and looked as healthy as good be. Thought for sure we had another 5 yrs with her (small dachshund apso x) Coming home and not being met at the door with kisses and excitement from everyone is hard. My lone kitty (1.5 yr old) is so lost with out his buddies. I will get a companion kitty for him soon but not sure that I can do another puppy again either. Besides, my girl will be so hard to replace

I'm at least able to talk with out bursting into I stand tears now, so I am managing. I know most have been through this and I'm not alone but gosh darn it's hard.

Fat Free - I'm sorry for the loss of Max and that your dog is not doing well I have had many fur babies in my life and I know the pain of losing them. Thinking of you...
