Vets again……

After being at the vets on Sunday with Molly, then taking DD to the vets to say her last goodbye to Molly on Monday, and a trip to the Pet Crematorium on Wednesday, I ended up back at the vets this morning, with my Maine Coon, Gadget. He hasn't been well for a while, and I've had my suspicions for a while, but today the vet confirmed that he has a tumour and probably hasn't got long with us. She gave me some steroids to give him to see if it will make things a little easier for him for a while, but ultimately I know that our remaining time with him is now a lot shorter than we thought. He is, to be fair, an old boy - coming close to 16 but not quite there yet - and has had a good life, providing us with both entertainment and near heart attacks (he once brought a frog in to the house and let it go, leaving us hunting for a frightened frog while trying to keep Gadget away from it!). It will still be hard though, to make that final journey back to the vets, whenever it may be. Sadly I suspect it will be quite soon, and we will lose another much loved member of our family.
