    Never thought I'd be praying for my kitty to die, but I am. I just don't want to put her down. It will devastate my son.

      I'm so sorry. I did that with my dog last spring. I just prayed and hoped I'd find him having passed peacefully in his sleep.

      I'm so sorry. My cat died three years ago the day before I finally decided it was time to put her down. I was thankful she went on her own.

      To clarify, I'd made the decision and it was scheduled for the next day. I hope the situation resolves as well as it can.

      There's nothing more exhausting than pain, that's for sure.

      and grief. One forgets how physical these emotions are.

      Hope you have calmer days soon Chris.

      If ever there was a time to be gushy, wedding planning might be it. :-)

      I had that happen to me, but I was able to post again once I cleared my "cookies", shut down, & rebooted the computer. Worth a try if you haven't done it already?

      I have also had it happen twice and was able to fix the problem by clearing cookies. One time I was able to post on the site-news board only, the next time? Nothin.

    Grampa's dog, Cedar, needs prayer, if you don't mind. And so does Grampa, and his dgd, who will miss that big old lug of a German Shepherd, if this is the beginning of the end. Thx.
