   That is so hard! But, it’s for the best. Bailey’s health and safety are your first priorities. We are going through the same thing with my little lapdog, I have to get rid of him before the baby comes… he is just too hyper and untrustworthy.

   Aww! Many hugs to you! I know that it’s so tough to get rid of a pet. We had 2 cats that we really loved and had to give them up because we were renters at the time and our new landlords would not allow pets. It broke my heart that we had to split them up. We gave one cat to a friend of ours and we gave the other one to our vet’s office so they could find her a home. I never knew what happened to her. She was awesome because she played fetch. I wrote a letter for the vet to give to the new owners with instructions on how to play fetch with her. I wonder if the shelter would let you give them a letter for your kitty’s new owners…maybe you could tell them about some of her favorite toys, foods, etc.

   So sorry about your kitty. We had our 12 yr old cat put down about 8 months ago. He was old, puking, smearing poop, etc. I got him as a kitten when I was 15. He had no teeth left as well. There was no way we could have found someone to take a kitty in that condition. I think the chances are good that your kitty will find a great new home.

   I’m so sorry! That is a horrible choice to have to make. I will pray for you!

   I’m so sorry!!
   I read this entry out loud to my cat. She’s been pooping in our bedroom each night, and I pick it up quietly in the dark so my husband doesn’t know

   So hard to do…..I worried so much when I was pregnant with our first. Luckily, our dog took to her alright, and to the second. But those pets are like babies too. Thinking about you.
