This thread is already hitting home with me as I have a 13 year-old Dachshund back at home that I've had since first grade, and I know that he could go any day, and that thought is just devastating. All sympathies to you BLueFire. These are the highs and lows of being a pet owner.

My dog died ohhhhh over the summer I think... Had her since kindergarten...

She started breathing funny, then didn't want to leave my room (didn't want to move at all)... Took her to the vet, there was obviously a problem but we didn't put her to sleep right away, we were going to probably in a couple of days...

So that night I figure she'll be there the next day I say nighty nighty, and when my mom came in the room in the morning to get clothes (keeps some in my closet since my parents don't have one) she decides to wake me up and throw in the fact that "Our puppy died last night"...

Our house used to be a zoo... She was the last pet we had...

Yeah, I really hear you on this. I grew up with two cats that were ~8 years old when I was born. So I had them most of my childhood, but they died when I was about nine from Kidney failure. We had them on a special diet and everything, it just wasn't enough.

And then about seven years ago we had gotten a Dachshund. We had time to really enjoy it, she was just one of the best tempered dogs you could have. But one morning when my dad let it out, it followed my brother's scent down to the end of the drive way because he'd gone to school and a car hit it.

Your lives were written in a pair, sharing a life's high and low.
You are the mirror reflecting him, a cat named Shadow.
The life you breathe in each day, is the life he exhales.
But the ending of a story you never want to come...Efforts to no avail.
His spirit now forever lies in the sky.
Do not be afraid to shed a tear, and cry.
~ a poem for Shadow and Bluefire from Kyuzo

Rest in peace, and condolences Bluefire. I had an Iguana named Flash (he was really fast) for 5 years, and never could tell if he was sick. But eventually he bit the dust, and I forever remember that day, considering I didn't expect it.

Sorry again for your loss.

That cat looked nice. I'm sorry that he had to face an early end. That is rough, and I hope you are doing alright.
