Got some bad news today

3. I have an elderly guy.

I wake up every morning and look for him to make sure he made it through the night. The vet estimates that he's probably around 20. I've had him for 16 of those years. He's skinny and slow, but he has certain rituals that he still loves (ice water in a bowl!) and he is still eating and moving around. As long as he's happy being here, he will stay with me. When he is no longer enjoying his time here, I will make that hard decision.

Hugs and comfort to you. Thank you for obviously taking GREAT care of those two littermates for them both to have made it to such an old age. Thank you for loving them. Enjoy the remaining time. I read something recently that I though was profound. It went something like - - - don't worry about how they're going to do tomorrow. Just think about how they're doing today. Because if you worry about tomorrow, you'll miss the chance to enjoy them today.
