I knew it would be a pet when you mentioned "her own sweet way". I'm so sorry you lost her. You have written a lovely story about the depths of your shared love. It is so much better that you held her as she passed across the rainbow bridge.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked the story. It happened several years ago, but is still difficult to write about.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

You did the right thing but it is not easy to go through this with our beloved pet, but in these circumstances you have no choice as it is cruel to continue the suffering, a poignant and melancholy write, love Dolly x

Thank you. It happened several years ago, but I still find it difficult to write about. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Comment from Jay Squires
Oh, dear, "Pretty", I can understand your tears at your Tasi's passing. I mustered similar courage once to be with my dog when the shot was administered. My problem was that I hung onto my conditioned masculinity and blunted the special instant that could have linked us and instead was as science-minded as the veterinarian. God bless you for the courage to have been there for Tasi, and for the courage to share your experience with us.

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your experience with me. I think everyone handles the loss in a different manner. My older sister can take an animal the the vet and stay calm throughout the procedure. I can't.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

This is a love story. Your words express well your frustration and anguish as you face the hardest decision of your life - the letting go of one you love. Well done.

Comment from lyenochka
I had a feeling all along that it was a family member who was a cat. Of course, I know you love cats and they are family. You describe my last minute with our cat, Cali, as I saw the light go out of her eyes. She tried to run away as her final kidney failed but finally, I had to put her down. It's moment I'll never forget. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Ricky1024
"Haunted" about the death of a death friend from cancer was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
My dear friend Maryanne DeChellis whom I cared for died after 7 months from Cervical cancer.
She was born in 1946 and a chronic alcoholic.
Life goes on and thanks for sharing.

Thank you. The friend in my story is a cat. Cats are just as much family and friend as anyone. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.
Comment from Mario PIERRE
Hello,
Your words are like dards, piercing flesh up to the bones. I was living the whole sad experience as if I was there. So vivid description and devoid of any self-pity, your narration is certainly felt by animal lovers. It's sad, but at the same time comforting, knowing that Tasi is home, where there's no cancer nor pain.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. This happened several years ago, but is still hard to write about.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

I like the story you wrote. It is a heartfelt journey replete with the accompanying ache of decision points that mark hard transitions. Your writing plays the keys that are part of this deep cord. Your story is sure and lands well. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. It was a difficult story to write. Tasi has been gone for several years, but I still miss her loveing presense.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

Comment from lancellot
Hmm, I'm not a pet owner, never was. But, I do understand losing a loved one. now, having said that, I did notice you avoided telling the reader you were speaking about a cat. I could tell something was off early on, (a tilt to deceive) it was confirmed with this line: I had spent the day before reminiscing with her about our beautiful years together. She told me, in her own sweet way,
You didn't say, We had spent the day. Meaning only you could talk, then you wrote, she told me, in her own sweet way.
Did you mean this as a sort of Flash non-fiction, with a surprise or twist ending. I seems written that way.

Thank you. I didn't intend to decieve when writing the story. I was writing about a family memer, which Tasi was. My pets are as much family as my husband was and my siblings are.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Yes indeed, it was pure misery. I lived through the veil of tears mid-summer when my BFF passed away in a similar way, and even now, in you telling your tale, the memory of Buddy comes haunting back, even though I hope he is in a better place and will greet meet if and when I get to heaven.

Thank you. It is difficult to lose a loved one, be they pet or human. Tasi was family and I wrote about her as such. Thanks for the six stars. I do appreciate them.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

The six stars was deserved. Your piece moved me.
