I Lost Another Furbaby
This is a hard post to write . . . so hard, I've been putting it off almost 3 weeks.
We've lost Autumn Mohair 3 weeks ago this coming Tuesday, simply put. He'd not been feeling like himself for awhile and was starting to have difficulty with breathing in addition to the arthritis in his back legs.
My mom made the call . . . only she didn't call the vet, she instead contacted the local animal shelter to send someone to pick him up and have him put to sleep. We simply couldn't afford this month to get him to the vet, so Mom figured that would be the next best thing to having him suffer.
She did call them back on Wednesday morning and she was told he was put to sleep not long after he arrived.
If it'd been my call, he'd been taken to our vet and put to sleep with me and Mom present, but since it wasn't and money was an issue this is what was done.
Part of me knows we did what was best, but there's a part of me that feels guilty for having to have him sent away to be put down.
While I know he's with his mommy (the notorious Zoey) and his siblings (who had all passed on before him) Monkey-Monk, Moo-Moo (presumably - she disappeared and was never found) and Applesauce (his grandson by Moo-Moo) and I can't recall how many other cousins/etc . . . I hope he knows he was loved while he was here and he'll never be forgotten.
He's currently survived by his cousins Stan and Wendyburger and Rover
He was more than just a pet . . . he was a baby
Rest in Peace, my Mohair baby
