Oh, I am so, so sorry. I'm all weepy from reading it because I understand. My Pie-kitty is like Kyoko, she can't bear to be apart from me, and I worry about what would happen to her if something happened to me.
I figured it was best to choose when was good to spend final time with her than have the choice taken from us later.
There is really something to be said for this. With horses, sometimes what kills them comes on so quickly that there's no warning even if it's an older horse and you know it's probably going to be soon anyway. I've already talked to the barn's owner to make sure she knows if it's at all possible, I want to be with the pony when his time comes (if I was his owner, that would be obvious, but his owners-on-paper are somewhere else and he's just my happy place), and hopefully that'll happen even if it's, "The vet's on his way, you need to get here as fast as you can," but optimally, we'd get lucky and he'd be one of those horses that just goes slowly and you make the appointment a few days before, and you know. I just...don't know that that's likely at all, because of the way they're built and fall apart. :/
