Thanks to all who offered their hugs and condolences for Fionn's passing. Even though I was expecting it, it was still hard, and it's the little things that get to you.

Fionn died just a few minutes ago. I was holding him right to the end.

Well, my dear little boy is still holding on. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow right smack in the middle of the day, so I took the whole day off from work. Friday we're closed for Good Friday.

Fionn: Fionn is back home, after literally breaking my bank with his vet bill, and seems to be doing pretty well. As the oddball he is, he's spending much of his time hanging out in the bathtub. Crazy cat. As much as I love him, this will be his last trip ( Read more... )

The vet says he's doing very good, considering. He's eating well and everything. I might have to order chicken wings for dinner tonight just to spoil him :)
