A Sad Day


After mass, I went to dinner with my parents and my older brother. My parents mentioned that their cat, Bo, was not doing well at all. In fact, they were going to call the vet to see about having him put down. So, I knew I needed to stop by their house and sit with Bo for awhile.

I did that right after dinner.

As soon as I saw him, I just couldn't believe how still he was. He wasn't blinking. He wasn't talking with his tail. We just sat with him and talked. Mom thinks it was comforting to him just to hear our voices. Hopefully, we helped make his last hours easier.

He stopped breathing shortly after midnight. So, now he's running through the fields with Jesus, Lily Monster Moe with a Long Tail, Peek-a-Durn-Boo Underwoo, and Doc.
