Well the day my family has dreaded for the past couple of weeks has finally come. Velvet, our pet cat of 18 years, has been put down. She fought for about a month as her kidney's shut down. Normal treatments where not an option due to a heart murmur. She could no longer eat and was soiling herself since she was too weak to walk to the litter box. My sister said her goodbye's during her lunch break, she cried. I carried her in the car on the way to the vet and the last member of my family to hold her while she still lived. I cried.

Her funeral will be later today.
