I had to have my beautiful cat Bianca put down this morning. Those of you who know me know how frustrated I've been with her for the last year or so, but she was beautiful and I had her for 20 years. She's been sick -- crying a lot, eating less, confused -- for a few weeks and I finally made myself take her in. The vet said it was the right time. I am very sad.
So, I'm going to knit something mindless, fix a cup of tea, watch a movie and be alone for the morning. Then I'll get up the nerve to tell the kids the sad news after school.
More on weekend knitting later.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Our beloved pets are so important.
I hope you have an easy day, and that the kids are o.k.

So sorry to hear about your loss. And I know that it will be hard on the children. Been there, done that. I'll be thinking about you today.

Oh, I'm so sorry. It's never easy to lose a family member.
