I've only discovered your blog some months ago and this particular entry brought tears to my eyes. I thought about it yesterday as I made the horrible decision to put my beloved Boochie to bed. He was suffering from liver disease. The specialists wanted to go in and find out exactly how to treat him including a feeding tube since he lost so much weight but I ended up saying no. He had endured enough. We took him home, laid in bed with him, one of his favorite spots then back to the his doctor's to relieve him of his pain. He is now outside, his other favorite spot, under the tree and the beautiful sky he gave us yesterday. My reason for commenting now is because I refered to this when I was sobbing yesterday and wrestling with what to do. I imagine you would have been supportive of my decision and told me it was for the best rather than subject him to a biopsy and a feeding tube in his neck. You love your Dubby and I love my Boochie and I take comfort that Dubby had such love like my Boochie did. Thank you for sharing this entry. Thank you so very much. Margie Dear Jen.

I always start with good intentions but my meals never seem to end up the way I wanted and I usually feeling that I could have done better. Anyway I just wanted to send my sympathies over the loss of your pet Dub. I lost by beloved cat Brandy over four years ago and still miss her as I'd had her for 17 years. She was perfect and I'm not sure if she can ever be replaced - maybe one day. Hilary x I’ve just come across your blog and envy you being able to rustle up such good looking tasty food.

We lost our Vixen in Sept 2007 and I still feel the loss. Take care and I send you email hugs. So sad to hear about Dub. We lost our Vixen in Sept 2007 and I still feel the loss.

We lost our 20 year old cat - 'Mick - Mick' this past fall. He was my constant kitchen companion and held court on the kitchen rug for as long as we can remember. He was always ready for any little 'treat' that might hit the floor! He is so very missed. Now our 19 year old siamese gets extra TLC and just soaks it up. We cherish every day we have with him. Bless you all and Kali, too! So very sorry for your loss. We lost our 20 year old cat – ‘Mick – Mick’ this past fall.

Our kitchen is home to three animals who are always clamoring for attention, and it would be heartbreaking to lose any of them. My deepest sympathies, I know how hard it is to lose a pet.

My heart goes out to you all. No words can comfort you at a time like this, but I think Dub was a very lucky cat to have had you, Mike, and Kali to love him and care for him.
