Alexis was very lethargic when I got home from the haunt tonight, and she was crying in distress whenever I wasn't petting her. So I took her to the 24-hour vet, and they diagnosed her with Feline Infectious Peritonitis.

I held her while they gave her the shot to put her to sleep, and now I need to figure out a proper spot to bury her.

I know about the poem about the rainbow bridge and how the pets we love and who love us are waiting on the other side of us, and I understand that it's intended to make people feel better about this sort of thing, and I know that for some people it does. But if you're thinking about posting it in the comments, just don't, ok? I don't want to see that right now.

*hugs* So sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is so very hard.

*hugs* It's terribly unfair that our furry friends have such short life spans. I'm glad you could be there for her at the end.

Very sorry. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I am sorry for your loss.

Aw, man. That's rough. I'm very sorry to hear it.

(And I have always sort of loathed that poem. It is the opposite of helping.)
