Tofu
 

Today we laid our newest member of the family to rest. She had advanced osteosarcoma and was barely able to walk and eat/drink. When we got her, the lump was small and we were trying to fundraise for her to have an amputation done. Before we could get the amount required for the operation, the lump nearly doubled in size. In the space of about 2 weeks, it grew from 5.5cm x 5cm to almost 8cm x 6.5cm.

She was only with us a short time, but we loved her. This was my first time being present for a euthanasia, and it's something I hope I never have to do again. When we were saying our final goodbyes (she had already passed) I kept expecting her to meow at me for disturbing her sleep. She was so still and silent, I still feel deeply disturbed by it.

Goodbye Tofu, till we meet again.

RIP Tofu and my condolences. i was there when my dog was euthanize as well. up to this point in my life it was the hardest thing i have ever endured. took a long time to readjust my life without him. as the saying goes, time heals all.

Having to do the hard thing with a beloved pet is never easy, and you never get used to it. Just have to remember that it's very quick and painless. But our feels take a long time to heal.

Stay strong <3

Thanks guys. She was technically my mom's cat, but I got really attached to her. I'm also the most emotional one in the family, so having to watch her go to sleep like that hit me the hardest I think. I told Raid3n if it needs to be done again, he has to go with Mom.
