COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

Oh poor you Sabine

This has really knocked you back

Yes, it has knocked me out you can say.
But I have another bad new: This evening I had the VET here at home to euthanize my little baby "Monty". He is a cat and I have raised him with my own hands 13 years ago. But now he was too sick. I had to let him go. It was peaceful, calm and easy for him but I am devasteted. I am very, very sad. He was always special to me because he still behaves like a cat baby when he was adult. Now he is lying next to me on the sofa and tomorrow I must burry him. I am sad but glad it is over. He isn`t suffering any longer. Now I am the one who suffers because he is dead.

Good evening Sabine. How are you today? I sincerely hope to hear you are better.

Hello Gillian.
Not so good. Please read my post about my cat Monty.

Terribly sorry to hear about your cat's death. Please accept my condolences.

We’re in New York. Currently having a rest after a long journey. We got got up at 4.50am UK time and it’s now past 7pm in the UK - so we have been on the go for over 14 hours.

No wonder I feel quite tired

Do you stay in New York, viewing the city ?

Thank you so much Gillian.
The only consolation is that Monty must not suffer any longer.

Hello Gillian.

Just read it. Sorry to know that, Sabine.

Unfortunately, at times bad/negative things come one after the other. (I don't mean to upset you, here).

If you need to talk, I am all "listening ears."

 

[Gillian M]

Very true.

Goodness...pets really manage to do something to our hearts, don't they? Personally, I'm not at all an emotional person. However, Oli did manage to do something to my heart. I never imagined a tort could do that.

I cannot afford that, as, once one reads a book, puts it on the shelf till further notice. I.E: I don't think many people would read the same book twice. Right?

In the past, I used to borrow books from libraries.

I must admit that I am guilty of reading books online. It is just easier. Easier to carry. Easier to access.

 

[Gillian M]

@Bee62 , do you mind posting a pic of Monty? If it's going to upset you, then please do not.

Shame. Go to bed early and enjoy the new day when you wake up.

True, but I saw it differently: I used to walk to the library and back, rather than sitting 24 hours a day on the blessed net.

Technology has made us sooooooo lazy, and we don't move unless necessary. This, on the long run, is anything but healthy.

Oh Sabine.
I am really so sorry for your loss.
A very big electronic hug.[emoji8] [emoji8] [emoji8]

Oh my. I'm so very sorry it came to that, Sabine. This is one of the hardest things us humans have to go through.

Well, nutz! You mean bookstores are being phased out? I have a whole room full of books that I'm boxing up and going to take to a used book store (so I can have that room for my incubators and indoor enclosures). I don't want any money for them, but if they're going out of business, maybe the boxes will have to go to the dump. Shucks!

I wish. The plane landed early but immigration at JFK was sooooooooooooo slow. Just got to our hotel at 2pm local time

Well ya know, we have to keep out and sift through all those foreigners massing at the borders.

Very very true. In fact a very good point.

Rather donate it to a school.

My dad engraved this point into my mind when I was very, very young, in a diplomatic way. His mother (my grandmother) used to walk for hours, she was extremely thin and healthy, and lived till she was almost 100! And she died of "old age": no Alzheimer, no dementia, just old age.

Gosh! I was going to suggest that too.
