Our cat, Jasper, deteriorated quickly Sunday evening and overnight.  By the time Monday morning came we had decided enough was enough, no point in the head x-ray when treatment options were limited and nothing would give Jasper back his quality of life.  We don’t prolong a pet’s life when there is suffering or severely dimished quality of life, so early yesterday afternoon we made the dreaded but necessary visit to the vet.

My wife and I are big-time animal lovers and when we lose a pet it hurts so much I wonder why we put ourselves through it.  Then I remember that without our love Japer, who was a stray we adopted just like our other cats, would not have had the happy years he did have and that is what it’s important to remember.  So yesterday I was in no shape to concentrate on work or much else, and we just spent a quiet evening at home.  I feel much better today, I’m focused on getting through a bunch of tax returns and I’ve decided that I’m going to the gym tonight no matter what - I really need it.
