Thank you for your consideration, Gracie. 'Specially since things are so tough for you right now. On top of everything else, you're also dealing with Moki and Mr. G's illness, too.I'm so sorry about Old Lady Cat, GW. So sorry. But I am glad it was a peaceful end for her. I'm sorry it is not so peaceful for you right now.I sure hope Moki's lump isn't serious. Maybe a severely impacted anal gland?Yeah..I hear ya about the close endings of TWO. Gracie first...then Pretties less than 6 months later. Actually, more like 3 months. Not fun. Heartbreaking, actually. But like you said...the living needs us still. I have Karma and Moki. And Moki goes to the vet tomorrow because I found a huge hard lump the size of a golfball under his tail on the left side of his anus. Rock hard, too. And BIG. I never noticed because I don't make a habit of looking at his butthole but I gave him a bath yesterday and thats when I found it. He is 13, so lumpy bumpy dogs are usual but this thing is BIG. It doesn't seem to hurt him though. Still..I want it checked out before we leave here and find a new vet.
A couple of years ago, my Bullmastiff suddenly quit eating. I took her to the vet and was informed that she had lymphoma (?), a particularly virulent type. It was a Friday afternoon and I at first considered bringing her home for the weekend, let everyone say goodbye. But, the way things were going with her, she would have been dead by Monday, so I had them put her to sleep right then. Why draw out the pain and suffering.
At any rate, old-lady-cat passed on this morning. She just laid down and drifted off. That's two (18-yr-old dog and a cat I've had for 21 years) gone in a week and a half. I just have nothing left to cry. This coming weekend, I'll build the proper container and see OLC joins the others who have gone before her.
Good luck with Moki!

MrG is feeling better, thank goodness. Doing this all by myself is a tad overwhelming.
So, I chain smoked and came up with the idea of letting moki have softer stools...which will keep him around longer. Broached the idea to the vet and to MrG and they said "great idea!". So..that is the plan. I figure if we are lucky, we will have him a few more months...maybe. As long as he is not hurting and is eating, drinking and enjoying his walks...we will continue to do this. But I already put a call in to Gracie to stick close by the gate with the gang..cuz her besty will be along soon.
I feel for you though. Being an empath..I can feel your pain. I wish I could soothe it.
Goats can make you smile. Believe me, I have a few.By golly I never looked at it like this.
Two empaths, we must be something! I knew both Uschi and OLC were on their way out when they quit eating and drinking. They must know something we don't. I just hope things go as smoothly when my time comes.MrG is feeling better, thank goodness. Doing this all by myself is a tad overwhelming.

Yes.Will this ever end?
Wait, you don't have a .44 in your bathrobe pocket when you answer the door?Someone banged on my door at 4am last night. I don't know who it was because naturally, I did not open the door. But paranoia made me think someone is trying to get in and steal my gold.
That may be a downside to having a lot of valuables in your home.
My flat is practically impregnable, with two locked doors between me and the street, and windows that are difficult to access as they need a ladder to reach them. I will not open the door without looking out of the window first, and I certainly ain't going to answer it at 4 am.
Ha, I just checked my email and amazon sent me a message telling me my parcel is due on Friday and it's coming by mail. That means I can look out of the window and see the mailman. I am not answering the door to anyone else for the foreseeable future, and I am going to keep my eyes open when I go out to the shops in case someone is watching. But I wish I could legally own a gun. The only viable gun I can get is an antique percussion revolver, and you cannot get percussion nipples in England. Added to that they are difficult to load. You need a matching bullet mold to make a tight fitting ball, and if you don't seal the gunpowder down tightly enough the chambers can flash over from one to the next, and the gun will explode in your face and blow off your hand.
I would prefer a double barreled flintlock but they are very expensive. I would probably have to sell my gold coins to buy one.
It is a problem for sure.
I have been up since 4am because after some bastard knocked on my door I could not get back to sleep.
