I had to put my 16 year old Jack Russel mix to sleep today because of severe kidney failure and possible cancer. It's been almost a month to the day since I lost my cockatiel. Two weeks ago, my seven year old (youngest) cat was diagnosed with FIP, a fatal and untreatable gastrointestinal disease. Things just keep happening. I have one cat with stomatitis - his immune system is effectively rejecting his teeth, and he needs medication daily for the rest of his life. I lost my twenty-five year old cockatiel to said cat with stomatitis. I have a terminally ill seven year old cat. I lost my sixteen year old dog to what basically amounts to old age sickness. I have a fourteen year old cat with an ear infection, a thirteen year old cat with signs of arthritis, and an eleven year old cat who's just very odd.

I am not just heartbroken. I am heart-shattered.

I am still seeking work. I will edit, beta-read, brainstorm, write, draw, or do web-design. We can talk about prices.
