today is a very sad day for me, i am saying goodbye to my best little buddy. most of you know cosby has been sick ( http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-request-for-good-kitty-vibes ), but despite all our efforts to heal and comfort him, we can't, so to avoid discomfort and anxiety leading up to a natural demise, we've opted to have him put down.

our vet is an angel, they don't do house calls, but i left a msg with them about our desire to have him put down at home where he feels safe and comfortable (he hates the vet's office and the car, i don't want those to be his last memories) and had made arrangements with someone else that does house calls. yesterday our vet offered to come over tonight after work to do it herself and then take him for his cremation so it's not a stranger. i feel incredibally fortunate to have such compassionate people around during such a sad time.

here's my baby boy, i'm gonna miss the crap out of him
