Re: [Felvtalk] Out of town....

[ROBERT CHAPEL]

To all:
If anyone posts messages having to do with my cats I apologize in 
advance for not acknowledging but I will be out of town for the next 6 
days and HATE typing on my little IPAD unless it's something earth 
shatteringly important : )
I've gotten a lot of terrific information and appreciate everyone's 
input.
BTW Agree TOTALLY re: keeping out friends alive when there is little 
hope for any more "full" life  More often than not it strikes me 
that we do this for ourselves more than them... It's so hard to part 
with them... I've made that mistake in the past and I won't again...

Ardy, I had similar thing with Sweetie Peetie having mammary cancer.
Looking back I would never put her though that surgery again. I got a few
hours with her at clinic after her surgery and she died in her sleep.  Does
that had called to tell me she had  stopped breathing on the operating
table  and was "shockey". I have struggled with that but your post about
them knowing we were doing it out of love for them is very helpful and
true! Thank you Ardy!
