I'm so sorry, junkDNA.

I know how it is. My kitty Freckles, I had her since I was 11 years old and she was my cat for 14 years. she was the last of the old barn cat line from my grandma's farm. Anyway, I had to rush her to the ER one night and they did the same thing to me. She was really sick and I had to decide right then. I have her ashes in this pretty wooden box and they made a stamp of her paw in clay for me. So, I know how hard it is.

newtus: at least don't drink in his presence. I think if he's not witnessing it will help, but really, as he works on it try talking to him about his feelings on this. Some people are able to understand just because they can't drink doesn't mean no one can, but other people are unable to withold from the temptation.
