Goodbye Mushu

I'm sorry to say that we lost our dear cat, "Mushu" last week. I got Mushu when I was a senior in high school from a friend- he was just a kitten then, and we've had many good years together. He had been sick for a few days, and when I took him to the vet, he said Mushu had two serious problems, and it would take surgery to fix (with some probability that it wouldn't work). I knew that Mushu had already been in so much pain, and that he'd had these same problems in the past, so I decided the best thing to do was to put him down. :( I went out to the lobby and cried a lot- the vet's assistants kept bringing me tissues. When I got home, Travis was waiting outside for me, and gave me a huge hug. I sure needed it! He ordered pizza (my favorite), and picked up my favorite ice cream on the way home. Wonderful food for depression. It's been hard not having Mushu around, but I know he's now happy in heaven chasing mice, and having claws again!
