It was heart-breaking, but we finally had to take my Freddie to the vet to be put down. He was so sick and weak and I promised him I wouldn't let him suffer. The vet was very understanding and let us have all the time we needed to hold him and say our goodbyes.

Thanks for being a friend and chrished part of our family for 17 years Fred...we miss you so much.

Sorry for your loss

Thank you guys...your words mean a lot.

I may have to re size my photo. It must have been too big or something.

It sucks to lose a member of the family.

UGH.

I'm so sorry. This shit is so painful. I had to put one down this year, and it wasn't even my damned cat, and I was crushed. Very tough.

Hope you're ok

Soooo sorry to hear about your loss babynoz.

Thanks, it sure does. We were remembering some funny incidents like the way he would sit beside my youngest every day while he did his homework...as if he could help.

Then there was the great "tuna fish" caper of 2000 when he jumped on the kitchen counter and made off my oldest son's tuna sandwich. Took us 10 minutes to catch him, LOL!

Thanks, it's a terrible ordeal.

I don't know how I would have managed without my sons and the kindness of our Vet.

My thoughts are with you, I'm sorry for your loss.

A big hug for you

i'm soooo sorry Sis!

i hope everything is okay.

Aw, RIP Fred.

Im so sorry about Fred. He's with God now.

I'm sorry. Losing my kitty was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through.

I am SO SORRY. It's so hard when it's time to make that decision.

R.I.P. Fred. Say hello to my Billy and Irving (beagles) at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thanks again everybody. Your kind thoughts help a lot.

it was a very brave thing you had to do, but he's not suffering any longer and his little kitty body has found peace

I'm sorry he's gone. I've had 4 kitties in my lifetime and have lost them all

I'm so sorry for your loss.

And my Iggy and Jinxie send their love

I'm so sorry for your loss. That decision is always hard.

Awww, sorry to read this. Losing a buddy is always hard. But he seems to have a long and happy life becuz of you. You made the right decision to not let him suffer.

if something happened to my Moppy I would be totally devastated, I love him so much. When my parents put down their dog it was pretty awful for my whole family, I was only told afterwards, it was such a shock

my mom just had to take her cat to the vet to be put down as well she's so upset over it!

i'm sorry for your loss!
