I'm sitting with my cat for her last half hour

We're leaving for the vet soon to euthanize her. The vet was too busy today to come to our house, and we couldn't get her in earlier. She seems to be sleeping atm so I hope she's not feeling too awful. I know the pet lovers here understand how hard it is to say goodbye. We've had 161/2 years with her but it was not enough; she'll leave a huge void in our home.

A belated thanks for the hearts!

I took off February and March to grieve but came back yesterday and had mail.

Thanks so much for thinking of me, kind heart donors. And my apologies for my late response.

February and March were awful

I lost a friend, two cousins and a dog. I can't do anything about the people. We tried living without a dog but decided that wasn't possible. So April has brought a puppy. She's a handful but a respite from grief. She's also my first actual purchased purebred; the ten who preceded her all arrived in need of a home. We tried to find a rescue dog but strays and rescues are not common here and it's seemingly impossible to find one that gets along with cats, so we actually bought a labrador puppy from a breeder. All three (rescue) cats are currently deeply offended but they've always lived with dogs and the pup is young enough to learn that cats are family.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone

May we all be dancing with joy come November.

Thank you kind Dems

For the hearts! You've brightened my day!

Thank you for the hearts!

My cookie selection form is in Russian maybe

It's something I can't read with an alphabet I don't recognize. I haven't seen it anywhere but on DU and I can't figure out how to make it readable. Even worse, it doesn't end with a submission question I can Google translate or something (that is, if I could figure out what language I'm trying to translate), I just have to pick a green, black or white circle.

Anyone else experience anything like this? Any ideas for what to do?

I randomly chose a button today but if I can't figure this out I'll give up. But I'll miss you all! Keep fighting the good fight! ❤

Ugh, Dutch elections

RW nut Geert Wilders is the night's big winner.

Just....ugh

About the Colorado shooting

I just want to tell the lgbt members here (and the lgbt people everywhere) that you are treasures.

You are special and important and loved and I will fight for your right to be who you are and love who you love, as long as I live.

I'm so sorry people are so stupid and judgemental and just evil, and I am crying with you.

(If this is posted on the wrong place - should it be a thread? - I apologize in advance but I just had to say it. )

Hearts! Thanks so very much!

❤🧡💛💚💙💜 a rainbow of thanks.
