Euthansia: a hard decision

By the time I decided to have Mica euthanized, I wondered why I had let him suffer so long.  He looked awful, as he went from one water source to another, covered with drool.  When he leaned over the swimming pool, I grabbed him and said to myself: "What am I waiting for?" 

Our vet sent us a plant to memorialize Mica!

I was surprised to find a florist delivery at our door "in loving memory of Mica. With love and sympathy from all the staff at Crescenta Canada Pet Hospital."
Mica brought us loyal companionship for nearly 2 decades.  Having a living plant to memorialize him gives his life some dignity, as he did indeed bring some good to the world. 

Mica

Mica always had something to say.  Not tonight.  He is gone.  He is no more.
I hope you are waiting for me in heaven, Mica.
