Some of you may know that my sweet Lainey passed away a couple of months ago. She was very sick so we had to put her to sleep. I am surprised at how well I did after she passed. That particular day was very very hard for me. The day after however, I was at peace with the decision. There was no operation that could have made her better. She had a small mass somewhere around her neck that was filling her stomach with air. She wasn't able to eat or drink anything and so she would have suffered greatly had we not put her down. I loved my Lou Lou very much. I had her for 11 years and miss her every day. For Christmas Tracy gave both her and Simon shirts. I'm glad I got some pictures of her in it.
Just wanted to add a couple pictures of Simon. Animals are great to take pictures of because they stay still and I can practice on them.
This is Milky, our neighbors cat. I say that lightly because he spends most of his time at our house. With Lainey's passing it's nice to be able to pet a cat every now and then. Wish I could change his name but he knows it so I can't.

Lainey was so pretty Erin... you definitely did the right thing in letting her go peacefully. Working in a vet's office, it breaks my heart to see how some animals are treated by their owners. You definitely loved her, and it showed.
Simon's eyes are so soulful - he looks like a sweet dog, and I love the last picture of Milky - he looks like he's talking to you!
Those are great pictures, Erin. The ones of Lainey in her shirt are so adorable! Simon and Milky are very cute too!
Such a hard decision to make. At least the photos of our pets can bring up happy memories! It's nice that your neighbor's kitty visits so regularly.
