Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts.
I slept on the couch last night. I think Boo wanted to go to bed, but I was afraid I'd fall asleep and then he'd try to get down and fall off. So I stayed on the couch and he slept on a pillow on the living room floor. I don't think he's in a lot of pain, but he can't walk. I gave the kids their breakfast this morning, then got down on the floor with Boo and held his plate up to him so that he could eat. And I used a little Fiesta relish bowl (it's small and flat) and held that up to him so he could get a good drink of water. Before I left for work, I gave him a bit more water and he did drink....he's always been a good water drinker.
There was poop right outside the litter box in the kitchen and I'm thinking it's his. I don't know that he can get into a box. I brought an uncovered litterbox out into the kitchen; it's one that he can walk into versus having to step over the edge to get into. But I don't know if he can even do that.
God help me, I'm sorry to say this, but I was kind of hoping that he would just pass in his sleep last night. I'm going to go to hell for thinking that.
Going home at lunch to see if everything is OK.
Rick just texted me; he's waiting at the airport now. He said that he's going to shed a lot of tears over BooBoo, but he knows that it needs to be done. The doctor wants Rick to call him when he gets home and has had a chance to look at BooBoo. I think he's afraid that Rick's heart won't let him let Boo go.
Oh, and this morning, I found some drops of blood on the kitchen floor. Evidently, Ms. Pepe's UTI came back again. I'll have to call the vet for another appointment for her. She is BooBoo's litter sister, so she is 20, as well.
