WITH THE GOOD, SO COMES THE BAD…
THIS IS THE PRO AND CON WEEK THAT I HAD
MONDAY (PRO)-Went to Michigan’s Adventures with Aric and friends…I listed that earlier
TUESDAY (CON)-Internet was out until Friday. My cat Cougar, who started to get sick, got even worse today. My parents took her to the vet. We feared that we had to put her down. My sister left to work at the carnival tomorrow.
WEDNESDAY (PRO)-Later Tuesday night we found out Cougar could be cured; she had bug larvae in her nose and a couple other places in her body, the vet gave her some injections to kill whatever was in her nose. He gave us some pills to give to her. She stayed the night at the vets office and came back today. Also, Brittany and Alyssa invited me to a bonfire on Saturday.
THURSDAY (CON)-My cat got far, far worse instead of better. She would cry out loud whenever we tried to get near her. We found her lying on her stomach with her head between her arms underneath a dresser. My dad and I yelled at each other before getting her up. We had to take her to the vets. When we picked her up, she left an imprint on the basement floor that’s still there (only I saw it) Then my parents had to do what all of us feared…we had to put our pet cat of 10 years, practically a member of this family, down. She was in so much pain and the larva, as I was told, got into a cavity in her brain making her illness even worse. My mom pet her while they injected her with the fluid that would put her to sleep. My mom says that while Cougar was going under, she wasn’t crying or nothing. She was peaceful and seemed happy when my mom stayed next to her and kept petting her till the end. Then after Cougar was asleep, they injected her with the stuff that would stop her heart…and finally her pain. Then my parents came home and told me that she was gone. I accepted the fact that she was finally gone…but, I just can’t imagine , nor do I, how is Drea going to take this news? But Drea knows no one, not even her, would ever want Cougar to be in any pain just to keep her alive. She lived so long, yet died so fast. I loved her and I’m going to miss her. I grew up with her. She’s been through it all with us. The good times, the bad times, and the worse times...she was there. The last five years, she was always there, laying on my lap, licking my hand, (ha ha ha) waking the whole family up at six in the morning because it was time for work or school, and keeping me safe, warm, and very, very happy.

FRIDAY (CON-ISH PRO)- Didn't feel weird to not have Cougar around. Still hasn't set in yet. Still miss her mannerisms and habits. Should have the Internet back. So I’ll post this. I’ve got to work 5-close [felt sick at work...saw Aric. Little Kayla broke the tree by our house. Then who knows what the weekend will bring…hopefully more pro’s then con’s.
So long and goodnight!!
