R.I.P. My Calvin 2001-2008

We lost our 7 year old cat. I’m very torn up. He was the BEST cat, even people who hated cats loved him! It all happened on Wednesday, yes, that would be Christmas Eve day. I brought him for a smalllump on his back foot. He has his back claws removed years ago and has had a couple problems with them. He ended up having to go under full anethesia and went into cardiac arrest and could not be brought back.

I’m devastated, not too mention this happened right at the holidays. I did NOT want to teach my kids about death at this time of year. Calvin and my daughter were like 2 peas in a pod and she doesn’t seem like she cares he is gone??! Granted, she is only 5, but I thought she’d be more upset.

We still have to figure out what to do with his body. I guess we’ll have to try to dig a hole in the frozen, snow covered ground.

I feel like there is a little hole in our family where Calvin used to be, I can’t beleive he is gone… 😥
