Nancy, You have my condolences. I know how I felt when I had to do the same service for my little thug, Patch.
It's never easy to let a companion of many years go to sleep but you can be content that you made it as easy as possible after she had enjoyed many years of love and affection from you.

A 5.8 this morning.
@Nancy - My condolences on the loss of your cat. 17 years is a long time but ultimately never long enough.

Did not check today. Had breakfast before I remembered.
gotsomeold- I am so so sorry for your loss. I was just thinking of my dog who passed away last year. He was 15 and in a couple of days his health deteriorated so much that my mom and my brother had to take the call to put him down. I am in a different city far away and I could not be there. He was there to witness my life from my first crush, heartbreaks, career ups and downs, first job, passing away of my dad, my marriage and my son. But I know he went in peace. And he lies there in the garden of my mom's house. And in our hearts. Today used to be his birthday.
I hope these two attachments make you feel better. They helped me during my time.

Paulomi, that was so touching. Of course no dry eyes here. Nancy, so glad you could be there to comfort your furbaby.

Paulomi, thank you for those beautiful messages.
I am alright. Just sad and empty and, as you were, a bit stunned because normal aging became a disaster in a matter of days.
I am really glad to have places like The Lounge to share a little bit of our personal lives. I feel hugged.

So, so sorry Nancy. But to be surrounded by love, who could ask for more?
FBS 96, two hours after breakfast plummeted to 36. Ouch. Fine now, though, after a hasty snack.
Be well!

93 (5.2) this morning. Cooler this morning (34°F - 1.1°C) and going to be windy today. I hate the wind. 
Off in a bit to see my Cardiologist to check out the rebuilt pumper. Seems to be doing just fine.
Nancy, sorry for your loss. We love our pets and they show us so much love it's always hard to lose them.

167 this am. Yesterday forgot the humalog and then went to Walmart so i got a bit of exercise, went all the way to 284 before i returned home about 2 hours later.
I put in a request for and 530G metronic insulin pump, then rep proceeds to tell me that they will pay for a revel. I suspect that pump won't be available when the new one comes to the US. I don't need the CGM but since I have to use this device for the next 4 - 5 years, I believe I should get the newest available here in the US. So today I'm calling the insurance company and see if the medtronic guys are feeding me a bunch of bull malarkey. I also think, my providers's a huge clinic here in Baton Rouge where 1/3 of the doctor's practice know what's available per the insurance company and would never have a given a list and told me to pick one. So we shall see, at any rate should be hooked up as soon as I get the pump and I have training with the rep and 2 hour at the clinic. My CDE only works Monday and Tuesday so it may take awhile. But since she is my age and i like her better than the young ones, I'll be patient.

As Vicky says, no dry eyes over here either. I've decided I'll take comfort in Paulomi's picture of Rex and little Bobbie . . . which means that some of us will have a huge welcoming committee when we get 'up there'.

99 today morning. My son wants to wake my daughter up the moment he is home. And it takes me hours to put her back to sleep.
You guys are sure they will grow up, right?

Shannu- he does not actively wake her up. He plays around the house with his bikes and trucks and the noise wakes her up. And then he gets excited to see her awake and wants to kiss her. Good thing is she sleeps through the night after all that chaos!
I'm sorry - I misunderstood how you described it. One of mine was a really light sleeper and I finally resorted to playing soft music in his room while he slept to try and mask the household noises. I also threatened to kill anyone who came and rang the doorbell or called on the phone during naptime! 'Course in those days there weren't cell phones, and the landline phones had ringers like fog horns!

I don't let people ring my doorbell too. I guess somethings remain the same despite generations changing I am just grateful that I don't have any jealousy issues to deal with. I was about apprehensive of that part.
I am jealous of my husband though who somehow finds time to stretch on the sofa reading the newspaper. Sometimes I feel I have 2 kids instead of we have two kids
