Me to...though I might have been a bit more reserved in my praise....

I am too, if I'm gorging on steak and a baked potato. I always get me a Sam Adams draft with it too.

So, I'm on GrubHub odering some dinner, and I get this image after I place my order:




Is it just me, or is dude enjoying his food all nekkid style?

[Nyssa]

*Wondering if I should be happy that I can't see most images through the app!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'm making it a point not to look...

[Christa]

LOL I'm going to pretend he's wearing a tan body suit. Yep, that's it. :D

[Becky]

Wait... people aren't supposed to eat nekkid style? O_o

[Nan]

That way you don't have to worry about whether that ketchup stain will come out in the wash :D.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

And I was thinking he's still waiting on his food.

[Jackie]

Are you sure they're just delivering food? O_o

Well, it is called Big Daddy Pizza... Hmmm... Maybe Grub Hub is working a side line.

:D

He does have some come hither eyes going on for the delivery man.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I think we may have some deeply troubled people here....

[Christa]

Um, we're not the ones waiting for the delivery guy nekkid. Well, I'm not, I can't speak for anyone else.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

:/

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'm losing one of my best friends. Romey (or oldest cat) is 17 and he went blind a while back. His body's been shutting down a little at a time and I think he's dying now. I don't have the heart to have him put down, but I doubt he has long.

[Emily]

Oh no. :( I am so sorry, Mike.

[Becky]

Awww, I'm sorry, Mike. :( I hope he's not suffering.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

He doesn't seem to be in any pain but he's off all food and water and his hind legs are weak. He lays next to the heater.

[Nyssa]

(((HUGS)))

:(

[Laurel]

Thinking of you both, Mike.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

My daughter has a cold she says is getting worse but she'd rather be a work than deal with this. As I said I don't think he's in pain but I am debating (within myself) taking him to the vet. He'd put him to sleep.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Mike! *hugs*

I wish I could do something. :(

I'll pray for both of you.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Thanks. I've done that and still am.

[HomeInMyShoes]

I'm sorry to hear about Romey as well. Condolences.

Maple is going to be fourteen this year and I am not looking forward to losing her which is inevitable at some point.

[Nan]

I'm sorry to hear this news, Mike. :(

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Thanks. We still have Xander, he's only a little younger than Romey and Luna she'd be somewhere around 11 or 12 at least.

If I may....

Speaking from personal experience Mike: If you know that he is at a point of no return, it is both more humane and (believe it or not) less stressful on you and your family if you go ahead and put him to rest.
You will know that he is no longer suffering and you will have the opportunity to say goodbye.

When my husband was a teen, he was adopted by a cat (well kitten) who managed to somehow crawl her way into the open window of his car, as he was visiting a friend. She had hidden herself in the back seat, and my husband didn't even know she was there until he heard the tiniest mew...she had him hooked.

We had to put her to sleep a few years ago. She was 18 years old and had been diagnosed with cancer, after we noticed a wound that would not heal. It broke our hearts at first, but we were able to grieve and accept her death. We still think of her and miss her. We had that sense of closure - if you understand what I mean.

Its never easy, of course, but at least Romy's passing won't come as a complete or sudden shock. My husband was able to hold Little Bit in his arms as she went to sleep, and I think that helped him a great deal.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I know. We lost two other cats in the last few months, one of them from cancer. We had 6 cats all close to the same age (withing a few years of each other). I can't go today. If he's still in this shape I'll probably do it tomorrow. Mostly he's just sleeping by the heater. I've tried to give him water and some chicken broth but he won't drink.

Apparently it is Freedom to Read week in Canada, but the site www.freedomtoread.ca requires a username and password to get in. Doh! Maybe that's by design. Education through irony.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

You need a week for that. That in itself is scary.

I just got back from having Romey put to sleep. I've mourned some people less. He's been with me for 17 years, I miss him.

[Becky]

:( I'm sorry, Mike. I think you did the right thing though. It's better for him not to suffer, plus he had you there with him, and you had a chance to say goodbye.

[Becky]

Dang it, now I'm getting all emotional. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, so I feel for you.

:'( I'm very sorry for your loss Mike.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I held him till he went to sleep. I still miss him.

[Emily]

Heartbreaking, Mike. I am so sorry.

[Jackie]

Sorry for your loss, Mike. ((((Mike)))

I'm so sorry to hear this, Mike. I know how horrible it feels when that happens.

It's really heartbreaking. :(


*Hug*

[Nan]

I'm sorry for your loss Mike. Thinking of you...

[HomeInMyShoes]

Yep, I'm getting emotional too. I'll all have a drink to Romney today and give Maple an extra hug.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Do that.

[Nyssa]

(((HUGS)))

[Lee]

I'm sorry for your loss, Mike.

Speaking as a lifelong cat owner I understand the pain and grief. A few years ago now we were in the same place. My cat that I had for 18 years got sick. She was more than a cat, much more than a pet, I grew up with her. My friend. Sister. It is one of the hardest choices to make and one of the hardest things to do.

And - yeah - I admit I like my cats more than most people I know…

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'm amazed at how depressed I am. I've had a sort of backset. Need to get hold of this. Been a hard few years lately.

Sorry for your loss Mike. Reading through the posts has tears in my eyes from memories of all the great pets that I've had (and had to put to sleep) - they're such a huge part of our lives and our familes. I can't imagine life without pets but it is so hard when that time comes.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'm just amazed. I've lost it a couple of times today already. i need to get it together. I blew up at the TV news a while ago. Luckily I'm home alone so nobody get's hurt. Like I said lots of losses the last few years.

Sorry. Don't mean to go on.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

We're your friends. You listen to us when we're all fucked up. Why would you think we wouldn't do the same for you?

*hugs*

It's ok to loose it. You've suffered a recent loss. And Romney was a part of your family.

I had a poodle, Angel, about 15 years ago who I had to have put down. Sitting there with someone who trusts you beyond all measure - knowing how bad it hurts then and how much worse later...

I still cry every time I think of her and its ok. I loved her and she loved me.

You loved Romney and he loved you - emotions can't be cut off and on like a light switch. You have to give yourself time to heal.

I wish I could do something to make you feel a little better.

I'm over here crying now, too.

[Luke]

Some of my co-workers walked into my office and asked why I looked so sad.

It's ok Mike, we've all vented somewhere to someone.
