Death in the Family

Neko: 1996-2006

What I had thought was going to be my horrible Saturday became my horrible today.
Neko has been kinda sick for a while now. Lots of vet trips and tests later and they knew nothing except he lost weight and wouldn't put it back on.
I had planned to take him back to the vet on Saturday and was steeling myself for the fact that I wasn't going to get to bring him home.
On a whim I decided to take today off.
Just that feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I am glad I did.
Around 8:00 AM Neko woke, took a few steps and fell over.
I made a quick phone call and bundled him up to take him to the vet.
We barely made it to the car before he seized and shuttered a couple of times and then died in my arms.

I went to my parents and we took him to the crematorium.
I can't stop crying.
It is times like this that I really hate not having a "someone" to hold me while I cry.
I am going to try to sleep but, if anyone wants to distract me tonight and/ or tomorrow I am sure I could really use it.
If you call and I don't answer the phone just leave a message.
If you have distraction for me email me or comment here since I don't know how eager I'll be to answer the phone.

My poor baby boy...at least he won't be sick or hurt anymore....

Grieving with Alcohol

Thanks to the wonderfulness of karmalingoist3 I am crawling out of the apt to go have some drinks at Corner Pub in Decatur.
Feel free to join.

Oh, my dance card is still pretty open tomorrow if anyone wants to catch a movie or something like that.
