Today I am grateful for my heart's capacity to love my pets . . .

Yesterday was a horrible day.  We had to have our sweet kitty, Zoe, put to sleep.  :'(  Although we knew it was coming (she was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancerous tumor a couple of months ago), it was still incredibly hard.  The hardest part is that she was still doing just fine as far as we could tell.  She didn't really seem to be bothered by the tumor, and she was still eating.  Eventually, it just got so big that it broke through the skin and there was really nothing that could be done for her.  I'm glad she didn't seem to suffer, but it was so hard to look into her bright little eyes and tell her goodbye.  Even though I am heartbroken that she had to go so soon, I'm thankful that we had Zoe to love for the past five years.  I like to think she's up in kitty heaven having a ball and that we will get to hear her cute little squeak again someday.
