Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5286077, member: 12414"] The last thing my Rotty did before passing was kiss my hand. Then her eyes closed due to the sedative and she was gone 30 seconds later. My girl knew and wanted to say good bye. Thus 10 years later I have not been able to get another dog. My two boys seemed ok with cats but they have asked for a dog a few times. The oldest is about to end his jr year in high school and the youngest is graduating elementary school on Tuesday. I might just break down and get them a dog. Of course my wife will have her say about that since I still travel some for work. Then of course there is the integration with our two cats one being a Bengal and a known hater of dogs. Me thinks we can make it work, why wife is not as optimistic. I hope SJ has found some solace and reasonable advice in the thread he started. But as with all things BY this thread has kind of gone off the rails. Probably because we can all relate and then decide to share our stories even though it was not what was originally the main point of the thread. I found myself doing it and it felt selfish so I deleted a previous post. To SJ I am hoping for the best possible outcome for you, your mom and her best buddy. If nothing else we have read that with cats especially 6 months can be equal to or greater than 2 or 3 years. Maybe there is something to that 9 lives theory…….. [/QUOTE]
