Condolences, Nathan.

Most of ours over the years have passed on their own, but we've had to have 2 put down and it's been the hardest decision we've ever had to make. I understand completely.

16 years is a good run (most of ours have made it anywhere from 16-20) but it still doesn't make it any easier.

Our beloved kitty Taco is not with us anymore. This week he stopped eating and was basically 
just sleeping all the time, or sitting under the table. I took him to the vet Thursday 
afternoon. She examined him and gave him an anti-inflammatory injection in case it was just 
some garden variety illness. But he deteriorated further yesterday, and so at 5 p.m. I took 
him back to the vet for a blood test. About 1 1/2 hour later the verdict came. Taco’s 
kidneys were failing completely and he had only days to live. There was really only one 
possible decision, but I could not make it on my own. My wife is in Colorado visiting our 
son, and my daughter is in Cardiff, so after a conference call during which the family 
decided, I called the vet and said that I was coming with Taco. Just before leaving home, I 
made a quick video of Taco with my phone—Monica wanted to see her kitty alive one last 
time...

Isabel has been our vet ever since we moved to this neighbourhood 8 years ago, 
and she handled everything with utmost compassion and care. Taco went to kitty 
heaven peacefully, with no pain, and with my hand gently caressing his soft fur 
throughout.
