it's so hard to say good-bye
It's official..I/we take Deuce to a vet who works with Heartland Humane Society and drop him off and his foster mom will pick him up. I talked with her tonight and explained the why....it's a matter of Ed's health. He's not even 2 yet! I asked if we could give them the rest of the food and the litter and she said we could...and to bring something along that Deuce has laid on or something of mine that the smell will be familiar...I'm going to give up a huge bath towel that has covered half of my bed so they could lie on it and not mess up the whole comforter and also one of my raggedy sleep shirts that hasn't been washed this week. I'm also going to give them a $100 donation....it's not much, but I'm hoping it will help.
I am sitting here listening to the Grammy awards while Ed is napping on the couch (we had a long day...church and then stopping at Walgreen's for Rx's, a brief stop at home for him to get a quick bite of lunch and then to Target to exchange some jeans, get me a new hair dryer and some candy to take into work for my candy jar...and then off the AT&T so he could get a smart phone. They transferred his information to my Iphone 6S and I got the 7, and a mini IPad because it was only $50!
It's not cheap...all in all with covers, screen protectors, additional cords, it was about $325, but he'll have a phone that is easier for him to use to text. The flip phone wasn't cutting it for him anymore (even though I reminded him that it was brand new as of September)...
Maybe I'll be able to get another cat once he's gone....... morbid, I know, but the thought of coming home after 20 years to no felines just makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep....but this too shall pass. I have so many great pictures that our friend Gary took of him and Lady!
Lady goes to be euthanized on Wednesday because she wouldn't be able to adapt to a new family and she does have a cancerous growth under her front leg...this week is going to be so very hard!
