today after work i took charlie to the vet to get her rabies shot. i might go on a little seattle/portland trip this weekend and want the option to bring charlie along for the ride.
anyway, as we waited for her gab an asian lady was filing out papers. it seem like everytime i'm in there someone is getting their animal put down which always makes me sad. this time it was a even sadder. the lady was crying. her husband came in for a minute...then went and waited in the car. 'coward'...i thought....'can't even stand by your wife as she says bye to her cat?'.
i could hear her crying when she went in the room and saying over and over "i'm sorry...i'm sorry" after a few minutes she came back in to the office w/ cat in hand. a beautiful grey cat w/ blue eyes....it was still alive. she gave it to the vets assistant said "i'm sorry" again and left. that was that.
it was really hard for me not to start balling right there and then. i'm kinda glad chloe spared me that and just took off to die....although it may have been nice to be with her in her last moments.
on a happier note....charlie is now 4.4lbs...double what she was last time i brought her in!
