I've been posting this headline entirely too much lately. It saddens me to report that we had to let Kokomo go today. After many ups and downs and a week and a half in the animal hospital, this afternoon we found her suffering for the first time. It was as if she had given up what fight she had left in her. Her eyes looked horrible, and she couldn't even turn to us when we called her name.

You ever have one of those times in life where things seems to keep going wrong? While I can't say "everything" has gone wrong, a lot of important things have. Yesterday, Kokomo, our almost-nine-year-old golden retriever suffered what appeared to be a stroke. He head was tilted, she couldn't stay on her feet, and she flailed her limbs in an attempted to stand up.

Another Sick Cat...

About a week ago we found out our 18-year-old cat has kidney failure. We have no idea how long she has left, but she's clearly not ready to go despite being deathly thin. We have to take her to get water injections, feed her special kidney food, etc. But one day we'll have to make the ultimate decision for her.
