That's what we did. We got Meko when she was 3 and had her for 11 years. It's been 16 yrs. since we let her go and I can still get teary sometimes. But we have good memories and still chuckle over her personality. We didn't own her...she owned us. We haven't gotten another one because we can't afford the vet costs involved and don't want to take on something we can't fulfill.......Sharon
It can get expensive. ;-)
But I don't have any (human) children. Just furkids.
I just spent $420 getting a tumor removed from Ghengis' ear and 2 weeks later Maddie's feet flared up (she has some sort of allergy issue and within a day it looks like badgers have been eating her feet) that was another $75. Next month it's vaccination month for both of them and then we stock up on heartguard and frontline...
it's expensive.
<lol> A little over 1/2 my last big vet bill for the dogs annual care was heartguard and Revolution...... so I know what you mean.

but the day I had surgery on my hand last week and I came home, maddie knew I felt crappy. David bundled me up on the sofa and Maddie crawled ever so slowly up my body until she was sprawled across me and huffing in my neck. So comforting, worth every penny I spent on her.
Celene, my long haired black feline furball has been a big comfort this week. She knows I'm sad so has been extra attentive. -- Peace! Om

That's the menu from the last meal served on the Titanic. The first class passengers, anyway.
Every time this subject comes up it's usually split between the Titanic menu and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Menu. I'm kinda partial to the TDCJ menu, myself:
Fried chicken, French fries, a jalapeno burger from Whataburger, Dr Pepper, and Pecan + Moon Pies. Most people on death row ask for a beer, too.

I posted it to see who'd recognize it (way to go, sf!)
If you knew you were going to die, what would you want as your very last meal on earth?
Me, sautee'd or fried shrimp and a seared rare Rib Eye steak with maybe a side of yam fries...........
I personally prefer jumbo shrimps over all the sea bugs, including king crab. -- Peace! Om

10 or 15 different types of ice cream. A veggie pizza with all good things on it An icy cola Pasta with grilled prawns in garlic with grilled veggies, fresh cheese to grate on top A good pie - maybe mixed berries and cherries with rhubarb thrown in
I had to put my beloved fuzzymutt, Corwyn the Sheltie to sleep Monday morning.
Oh [censored]! I am so sorry to hear it. I had to euth my beloved Border Collie mix last year - I still cry about it. She was 12.
If you haven't done so, plan some sort of memorial ritual for him, when you are ready. It really helped me get past the loss. We waited a year, and took Toshie to the beach and sprinkled her ashes. It was really healing for us, knowing she went back to the Earth. It helped me to let go.

I'd ask for Spumante champagne..... ;-)
I wonder if food tastes have anything to do with the odds of ending up on death row? -- Peace! Om

That would probably do me.

Sounds good, but for Ice cream, I have yet to find anything that beats just plain French Vanilla by Haagen dazs. ;-d -- Peace! Om

I feel your pain...

I probably will after I pick up his ashes. Right now, it's still hard not to cry when I think about it...

I know what you mean about letting go...... I'd have to think about what Corwyn's favorite place would have been.
Thanks. -- Peace! Om

They're probably getting ready to do a study. I read years ago that pink calms down the prisoners; do you think pink lowers the testerone? Dee Dee
Prime rib, rare....baked potato with butter and sour cream, brussels sprouts.
Or:
Large garbage pizza from Tonys (local joint) with the braided crust....ice cold Budweiser
Or:
My mom's pot roast and potatoes.
But whatever the main course: a bottle of Jim Beam and a pack of Marlboro for dessert.
The first sounds tempting... but since I rarely eat pizza due to the pain, that'd be tempting, but I'd have to make my own so I could drown it in cheese. <G>
No matter HOW much I ask for "extra cheese" when I order pizza, it's never enough. -- Peace! Om
