re: Who Here Has Dealt With Pet Loss?

worst pain ever. I was in summer school at LSU and got a call from my mom saying that Claude couldn't stand anymore. He would keep trying to get up and he would just fall back into his bed. Local vet didn't know what was going on so he sent my mom to LSU Vet clinic. I met her and my brother there and we carried him inside. Did a little check-up and we had to put him on a cart to roll him to the back.

We left and grabbed lunch and they called and said he had to stay a few nights while they ran tests. My mom and brother went back to Lafayette. They called us two days later and said he refused to eat. I grabbed him some Cheetohs Puffs and other human food that he liked and brought it to the clinic. They wouldn't let me back to see him, so I left. Called me later and said he wouldn't eat any of what I brought either.

That Sunday, they called and said they they had to put him on oxygen and that they were going to put him to sleep. We were all in Lafayette and my mom gave the go-ahead.

My mom ended up blowing like $7000 on tests and they didn't ever figure out what was wrong. The last memory I have of him is the look he gave as he rolled away on the cart. One of my biggest regrets in life, as lame as that sounds. I would've just taken off work and hung out with him until it was time if I could have.

I'm sorry about Harley. She was very beautiful. Get another one once you feel better and that will help ease the pain.

RIP Claude. He knew the cure to cancer, what was in Marsellus' briefcase, and whether or not Dottie dropped the ball on purpose, but he couldn't and wouldn't tell us. Miss that mfr



We got Sophie as he was getting older and she was always respectful of his space. This was their couch. They both couldn't fit on it, so when he was on it, she would sit on the cushion so that she didn't cram him
