Now "living as long as we do" is a double-edged sword. Always kept me from adopting an African grey parrot. They typically bond to one person and live so long that it is pretty much a given that you have to write them into your will as they will, most certainly, outlive you.

Oscar sounds wonderful J.D., you were both lucky to find each other.
| | | J.D. DIAMOND wrote: | | Thanks to Metallian,I agree with you man. And thanks to you Becks,yeah it really hurts to lose an animal regardless if it was his time or not,it just really sucks. I guess I was lucky to have him for 14 and a half years,but I would feel the same had I had him for 24 years ect.. Never again will I ever see a cat that had passion for food like this one,it was unreal.
He was really like a dog to say the least but charrished food more than a dog. I've always had an extra likings for animals. As I mentioned before we are getting a puppie on Friday and had planned to for some time,just a coincidence I lose one on Monday and another one comes into my life on Friday. Animals are cool,much better than people. Thanks for the kind words Becks.
And HRMG,it sounds like you have a wonderful German Shepherd,and yeah its good you celebrate each day with him,but on the flip side he may have a little longer than you know so our fingers are crossed. I guess there is no such thing as "long enough". We could have our animals for 35 years and it would still hurt as much to lose them. It was harder losing my animals than it was losing my own mother and father and I know that sounds strange but its true. Perhaps the reason being is that I was able to talk to my parents while they talked back,my animals can't say anything and perhaps thats what makes it more heartbreaking...I don't know but it really sucks.

Oh that's so sad JD, but you did the right thing in not letting Oscar suffer. Condolences to you - losing an animal is incredibly difficult.

Something pissing me of today is that I had to put down my other and last animal I have. Oscar was my 14 and a half year old cat and my heart is once again 'broken". "SIGH". It was his time,and I "REFUSE" to let a poor animal "suffer". Today was the first signs of him starting to suffer,and again I refuse to let him suffer.
Its not the first animal I've had to put down nor will be the last,but its fucking hard to do. Its a part of life obviously,and I know all the things that goes with it. It just pisses me off that I had to wake up and realize I'll not have him anymore. Fucking lame. Maybe the troll can laugh at me while I'm feeling down and out. Not asking for anybody's sympathy,I'm just posting this to release some stress. Its a shame that animals don't live longer,thats for sure.
