So -

Last night, kid had so much fun he didn't want to go to sleep. Dinner was ramen, apples, bananas and COOKIES. Then a bath, then some television...and it was pretty clear he was just plain happy to be here.

Seriously. Two hours later and he's pulling every trick in the book to stay up just that wee bit longer (including three bupkis trips to the bathroom, oldest trick in the book, neh?).

We had to load him up and drive up and down the 405 to put him to sleep. At about 8:30 PM. If that's not love, what is?

Coincidence, yes it was.

It's cancer, and it's unfair to consider treating it. That's the consensus of the vet and I this afternoon after the ultrasound.

Ai-chan's not going to make it. And instead of putting her through a course of treatment that would, at best, give her a year? There are hard decisions, and then there are those like this one - painfully easy. Like swallowing broken glass.

We're letting her go. Jim's on his way, we're going together to the vet and be there to say goodbye.

I'm pretty sure Spice will be waiting for her - I think they've missed each other long enough.

I'll miss her. I can almost be grateful for the scars she gave me.



Oh kitty, I wish I could have fixed it for you.
