A sad day, My dear friend Figaro is gone . . .
14 years ago
General
Well well. A lot has definately happened as I have came back
My readjustment has gone pretty smoothly. I got my job back taeching little kids how to beat each other up, I get to hang out with all of my friends, including ones that I haven't seen for 3 and half years, and just all around have a good time!
It's been kind of hard seeing how different some things are. Some of my friends have different personalities and such. Some are married, some have girlfriends, and so on ^_^;. All in all it's not to bad, since life is all about change, and I plan just to go with the flow.
Today however was quite a rough day. My dear pet cat Figaro had to be put down. He had been struggling with kidney failure. The vets couldn't do much about it. He was 17 years old and that is about as old as a cat usually gets. He could've used a treatment that would relieve the pain for a short period of time, but in the end the pain would come back, and it would be only a matter time when he would pass away. Our family couldn't stand seeing Figaro in pain like those, so we had to make the hard decision of putting him down. This morning Me and my mom watched the vet give Figaro the lethal injection of anesthetic that put him to sleep and eventually stopped his heart. I shed quite a few tears as my mom held on to me and cried. It was a very hard site indeed. We came home and I got started on digging the hole to bury our cat. It took a while because of the tough Georgia clay. We placed the bin holding our deceased cat and we said a few words. I said how I appreciated him being there for us. Not doing anything too special or anything, just simply being there. All in all that is all we needed, and Figaro did that wonderfully. He brought a sense of calm in peace into our home. My mom shared how she appreciated Figaro being there as we grew up, and giving us nice memories of playing with string.
It all started when my mom went into a pet shop. My brother and her were planning on just browsing the cats, but as they went into the kitty room, this black cat crawled up right into her lap and started to purr. This is what started it all.
One of the earliest and fondest memories I have of my cat is when we brought him home and decided to give him the name of Figaro. Afterwards we must have spent hours just petting him. I was fascinated with how Figero would purr when I pet him. I would pet pet pet him, and then press my ear to his stomach to hear him purr. What a wonderful memory that is.
I don't know everyone elses belief on this, but I believe without any doubt that Figaro is doing a lot better, and that one day I will see my dear friend again. Heaven wouldn't be heaven without my wonderful friend who was there for the majority of my childhood.
Rest in peace my dear friend Figaro.

Rest peacefully, Figaro.
You have my sympathies. Thanks for sharing your good memories of your pet. **gives hugs**

You and your family definitely gave him the best life possible, but unfortunately, there's only so much we can do at times.
With each passing year, I realize Fluffy and Tiger are aging too. It's hard to think about it, but when I imagine losing them, it wrecks me. Pets are hard to replace in our hearts.
I'll see you tomorrow for sure, and I'll give you a real hug instead of a virtual one.
Until I see you, take care and keep your chin up.
