Sad Decision

Merry's last day with us is going to be Oct 6th.  I have an appointment to take him in that morning at 9am.  That would have been my Friday preceding my regular weekend, but work was nice enough to not only accept my request to use 10 hours of my bank time to be off Oct 6th, but to already have that updated on my schedule.

My poor wee fellow has just not been doing any better, and he's just so skinny and lately I think he's stopped cleaning himself, as his fur is starting to get not so nice ... and he's getting a bit wobbly on his feet more often.

I had to make the decision that it's time.  He may hang on for a long time yet, but I don't think he's got the quality of life, and while it's going to hurt like hell to be there while they put him down, I'll be there for him until the bitter end.

Hopefully he and I can have some quality snuggling time between now and then ... usually that's only when I'm on the toilet and he wanders in for a drink from the shower stall.
