The "Whatever" Thread

Celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary today. Dinner and movie last night, while the kids slept over at Nana & Pap's. Got to sleep in this morning; now taking my bride to brunch.
 
Survived the family reunion yesterday and the thunderstorm in the middle of the night - despite 65 pounds of aussie shepherd alternately trying to burrow under me for protection and standing on top of me to protect me.... another 2" in the rain gauge this morning -- gonna be another steamy day today!
 
Ok, we need smoke sent for my boy Bennie Cat,he seems to be on his last legs and I'm afraid we'll be sending him on his way soon.

Thanks guys.
Bennie is 19, and he's got arthritis in his hips and the thyroid problem, but the thyroid is under control with meds.
He just had a geriatric checkup Monday and the vet said he's doing good for his age, then on Wednesday he stopped eating and now can barely stand up.:confused:
My roommate is taking him to the vet tomorrow to see about an IV feeding.
Of course it might just be more humane to put him to sleep.We'll see what the vet says.
 
Prayers for Bennie Cat and his family. It's amazing to grow such a bond with an animal. I know because I lost a couple old friends over the last year and Jack Dog is showing his age too much now. It's a tough decision to make and I dread thinking I will have to make it soon also. Best wishes my friend.
 
Smoke up from Buster & myself amigo. That's Buster in my avatar. He was diagnosed with cancer about 30 months ago and was given 6 to 12 weeks. We went fishin' yesterday.
 
Mykel, prayers for you and Bennie. Not any fun at all but it can be the most humane thing you can do sometimes. We had to let go of my wife's beloved Fluffy in January. It hurt but it was the right thing to do.
Courage, my brother.
 
Aw, sorry to hear Bennie is not doing well...
 
Thoughts and prayers go out to you for Bennie Cat. We lost our beloved dogs of 13 years and 9 years over the past 2 June's.
 
This stuff beats me up. I could never have imagined the love and emotion I could invest in a dog or a cat but then I did and now I know.

Our 19 year cat lost his ability but never his will and deciding the merciful choice for him broke my heart. Be strong Myke. I share your pain.

You will know what to do and when. In the meanwhile, I hope for you all that there is plenty of good and easy times still to come.
 
A big thanks again guys, your prayers seem to be working!:thumbup:
The vet says he has some sort of internal infection so they have him on antibiotics.
He spent the night at the vets last night with an IV in him to get him hydrated and he ate most of the food they gave him they said.:cool:
He's resting at home, too tired to do anything for now, just happy to be out of the cage and in his own bed.
Hopefully in the next few days the antibiotics will do their job and he'll get his strength back.
