This has really been a crappy 24+ hours. Knowing what needed to be done and then thinking it through till I could take action sucked. Holding Chewch and stroking her as she took her last breaths was awful but I was the only one who could do it. Cleaning the toys out of her cage...also awful. She had some that were nearly brand new. I kept a few that may be small enough for Zeus and kept parts because I often build or alter toys to work better.
Mike was ready to haul her cage to the curb. I don't think he wanted any reminders but I told him no...maybe someone on FB or Facebook marketplace would want it. It's a nice cage on wheels and in good shape.
It's been so quiet without her usual talk time that happened at least twice every day.
It's a big change after 30 years. It was not a good night last night or a good day today. But it was the right thing to do. We are pretty sure she suffered a stroke and there was no coming back from that.
Damn it.
I should have her ashes back by the end of the week. I need to get a picture or two printed.
The worst thing about pet ownership is saying goodbye.
