RIP Toby

She’s so sick, and looks so awful, I chose an older picture of her for her last one. We’re taking her for her last trip to the vet in a couple of hours. I can’t even give her much in the way of special treatment – she can hardly eat, and she’s too uncomfortable to play, and she’s so thin and bony that a pile of laundry is a more comfortable spot for her than a lap. She will be missed.

    She weighed only 4 pounds. The vet saw right away that she was having trouble breathing, and knew that she was special to us, so she gave her a slower-acting anesthesia so she’d fall asleep more gradually. We pet her and talked to her, and she purred until she was unconscious. The second shot caused her no pain, and she went quickly. The house is very quiet without her, and it was strange eating pizza without having to defend it from her, but I’m glad she’s not suffering anymore.
