Re: Baxter
John, I offer my heartfelt condolences. Yo did the right thing. It’s rarely on our terms that our pets have to leave us. It seems unfair that their lives as intertwined with ours, can be so short comparatively. It’s special that you loved and cared for Baxter. I’m praying that you will be comforted in grieving the loss of your loved one.

Re: Baxter
My condolences, it’s always hard to lose a family member. I’m glad that you were able to be there at the end and to save her a bit of pain in her final days. > On Mar 11, 2019, at 4:57 PM, John wrote: > > https://flic.kr/p/xtqGRY > > https://flic.kr/p/HPPRDh > > I had to take Baxter to the vet tonight.

Re: Baxter
Sorry for your loss, John. It is always a difficult decision and a tough experience. I have been in that situation several times. 21 years is a long time; be thankful you had so many good years with her, and for the happy memories you have of her.

Last one was Ambrosius, on our return from our Xmas holiday, not even 3 years old, with a severe heart condition. We could have battled on with loads of medication and a high chance of more complications. We discussed things with our vet and we agreed we wouldn't do him a favour. 21 years is quite something for a cat. Think of the good times you've had. Ralf -- Ralf R.

The names were a bit of wit. Half anyway. Back when I got them, there were two people who frequently appeared on NPR's All Things Considered; a retired school teacher from Georgia named Bailey White and Baxter Black the Cowboy Poet and large animal veterinarian.
