It is with profound sadness that I inform you of the passing of my Marvin. He had a second blood clot this morning which rendered him blind and he was also having cardiac issues, I was faced with the tough choice that many pet owners are and made the decision to end his suffering.
Today has been a very difficult day and I am dealing with the situation as best as I can. I am much more concerned about how his oldest sister, Gator is taking it. I feel horrible but watching her and talking with her is gut wrenching. My hope is that both her and I will get comfortable with the new normal we have been forced into.
Exactly what I didn’t want to happen, did. However, I bought my boy an extra week and five days. He ate good for the last two days. I now know that the signs I was seeing earlier in the week was his body starting to prepare for the inevitable. I did inquire that if I didn’t make the decision to part ways today what would have happened and was told that within 24 to 48 hours he would have passed regardless.
I miss my boy so much and am really numb to what happened as it was quick. I got to spend time with him and comfort him before he left this world. I am forever grateful for the extra time as well as the fact that he came into my life. 16 years is a very long time and it feels like I lost a part of me but I know with time this wound will heal.

I am so sorry for your loss. It was the same with with my precious Victoria, who I also had for 16 years. You're in my thoughts.
Dear Jeremy.
I am profoundly sorry for your loss. Losing a family member is heart wrenching. I had a gorgeous black Persian for 21 years so I understand what you are going through. Please know it will get better. You are fortunate to have Gator to console you. Take care.
Thank you Susan.
Thank you Joe.
