Good-bye Hemi
10 years ago
I've been trying to write this for the past two weeks. Couldn't make myself do it until now.
On Friday, June 19th, my family and I took my cat, Hemi, to the vet and had him put down. He had been getting sick for about a year, and in that time, we had been to 2 veterinary clinics, the pet ER, and a specialist. It became obvious that he was suffering and the medicine was no longer helping. The vets never did find out what exactly went wrong. They told me his pancreas was failing, but we don't know the cause, and the treatments weren't helping. He refused to eat or drink at all for the last few days.
Everyone kept telling me I did everything I could, and this was the right decision. I believe that, but it was still so hard to go through with it. He was only 8 years old.
The vet made an impression of his paw print. I really liked that. And my friends and family helped me bury him and ended up giving him a small funeral.
I'm sad that he's gone, but I'm glad he's not suffering anymore.

I know all too well what it is like to lose a beloved pet.
I'm so sorry.
