Mondays suck. I buried our two male cats today

Rusty was euthanized this Feb 06th, one day short of his 20 birthday.

We had him cremated as it was winter with heavy snow on the frozen ground.

We planned to bury his ashes near his sister in May.

Simon was well, other than a couple teeth that had to be pulled, up until a week ago.

He went off his feed. Seemed less energetic but we thought it might be stress from a house guest or allergies. We was a shy but loving animal.

Sis took him to the vet today.

They quickly determined he had lymphoma. Or at best a very large cyst PLUS lymphoma – IE cancer.

They were going to ultrasound him to see if an operation was of any benefit when he quickly declined and died.

Our best guess he was roughly five.

Love your family and pets while you can. It can all end so fast.

This was Rusty and Simon a little over a year ago.
