Wow, 21 years!...I'm so sorry for your loss. :(<br /><br />Wow, 21 years! That is an amazing lifespan for a cat. The only reason that a cat would live to such a grand age is because of how much care and love her owner and friend gave her.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829602743012198875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-18999718412744440052010-02-05T08:15:46.379-05:002010-02-05T08:15:46.379-05:00I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Ig...I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Iggy. <br /><br /><i>love is a four-legged word</i>sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423260743909863283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-56935872907768793492010-02-05T06:39:31.738-05:002010-02-05T06:39:31.738-05:00I am so sorry for your loss.

If anything, that is what makes us human. Yeah, it hurts. Whoa, does it hurt. But, what little comfort it is, it is what we can do: relieving suffering is a uniquely human property.

Dawg's right, you didn't betray her trust, although having faced the same thing, I know it feels that way.<br /><br />She trusted you to care for her for over 21 years, and in her final life's task - which is to die, you were very caring and saw to it she was able to go with as little suffering and as much dignity as possible.

It was the right thing to do. Keeping them alive when they are in pain, or senile, or both is no gift to them - it's selfish. You have done a very painful, but very kind act. If you stayed with Iggy until the end, as I did with Dinah, it was at the same time, horrific, yet calming. In my case, Dinah was at peace and out of pain.<br />My best wishes for a speedy recovery Lindsay. You will still experience weepy points for awhile - because how do you say goodbye to a best friend after so many years without the resultant sorrow. This too will pass, and leave you with memories of all the good times. <br />Back to lurking.HThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943288125686705908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-36640197707450453332010-02-04T15:56:13.207-05:002010-02-04T15:56:13.207-05:00Today is his 11th birthday.
