Mrrwlyn Wyllt
Raise a toast and leave the faucet running in honor of Mrrwlyn Wyllt, who, after 17 years, has gone looking for a bigger fountain...
I'm not gonna lie here... this was the hardest thing ever.
The realization that he himself was ready to go, and that the only thing he was looking forward to was seeing and hearing me, and that that was the only reason he was hanging on... that was heartbreaking...
That said, it didn't make the choice any easier...
I held him most of the night, much as I did on one of my first nights with him, when it was feared then that he might not make it through the night due to something like pnuemonia. We stayed that way last night until my falling off the couch made me fearful that I would hurt him more than he already was, then I made him as comfortable as I could in the warmest room in the house.
Then, this morning I took him for his last vet appointment... I stayed with him, as I stayed with Rumpleteazer and McCloud, and let him know he will always be loved...
