He had a huge tumor almost as big as him on his side and was miserable. I tried several times to get some fluid in him laced with my sleeping pill, took me a couple weeks to finally get him to take enough. Plus he doesn't like to see me upset and I was upset for that last couple weeks. He had the tumor for some time before it seemed to really bother him, then he stopped eating drinking or playing so I knew it was time. I think I want a kitten again tho. My dog is so possessive and would get mean with the cat we used to have but she's mellowed a lot I don't think it would be a problem anymore. DH said we could get one next year after income tax comes when we will be able to afford to go to the humane society and get a kitty, pay a vet and get it's supplies. Really miss having one. Going to change my avatar to a pic of chewie my dwarf hamster he was about 6 months old in the pic I have and so very cute.
Have a good day everyone. Thanks for all the words, gave rep where I could!
