Today was goodbye
I'm c/p'ing from my blog, so I don't have to type this out again.
Trying to find the words to memorialize Zane is really hard.
I guess the first thing most people noticed about him was how absolutely beautiful he was. And he knew it, of course.
The second thing would be how pissed he was at most humans for existing in HIS world. It took effort to get on Zane's good side, but once you got there, you were part of his family. And he was very protective of his family. Any new babies that came into the house were HIS babies, and ya better not mess with them. Jeff messed with Luna one day, and found out what it was like to have cat teeth inside his big toe! He would also come and meow at us if Marc was crying when he was a baby. He could not stand to hear Marc cry, and he let us know it.
The most special thing about Zane to me was the fact that he would play tag with me. And he was good at it, too, quite sneaky in his attacks. He would crack me up and give me a good workout at the same time.
The most annoying thing about Zane was his tendancy to completely ignore the "no getting on the countertops" rule the minute everyone went to bed. And if the dishwasher was on the drying cycle, you can bet Zane was on the counter enjoying the heat. He loved that so much that I always let him get away with it.
He was sick for over a year, but we were able to control it with medication. The last ten days, he just went downhill so fast, I still can't believe it happened. Today Dr. Ali and I decided that nothing we had tried was working, and to let Zane slowly starve to death would be cruel. Zane passed peacefully in the vet's office at 12:30 PM today. He will always be loved and missed, and never forgotten.

Thanks, Andrew and Susan. It's a very sad day for my family. Right now it feels like I'll never stop crying.

Very sorry for your loss, My dog Alfie past away last year and was sick for awhile just like your Zane. It never gets any easier to lose a pet, just take comfort in knowing that he is resting comfortably now.

No problem!
I just know its hard! I remember when my parents had to put our dog down. She was old(maybe around 15), and had gotten to the point where she wasn't able to walk.
I was young at that time and wasn't able to grasp the fact that, that was actually the best thing for her! I was crushed, we had her basically my whole life.
We ended up going to the local animal shelter and coming home with a new puppy! It really took me a while to actually accept and love the new puppy.
But back to the point....I know its hard! Just have to remember and appreciate the times you got to spend with Zane, and remember the fact that he couldn't have had a better life with out the love your family had to give him!

Sarah I'm sorry to hear about this. Having recently lost a cat myself I can sympathize. He knew he was loved and was such a gorgeous boy.
