How 2008 Started For Us

We were lucky to have our first overnight er with Corbin on 12/31/08. Papa and I did a great job making sure that Corbin was fed, changed, held, and loved while being with us. His parents came to pick him up on 1/1/08 and was pleased to see that he was in good shape as when they dropped him off.

During the late afternoon and early evening I noticed that our cat was not herself. She was hiding under things, and I realized that she was not feeling well at all. Then I noticed in the hall that she urinated, which is one thing she never does, and an indication that we have a problem. Took her to the Bay Area Emergency Hospital , and the bottom line was that her diabetes was shutting down her kidney function.

Well unfortunately I had to put her down, you have no idea how painful that was for me. On the way home I just couldn't believe what I had just done. She would no longer be a part of our lives, it was just so very painful.
