Coping with Bi-Polar WAW

[CountingCrows]

Luckily, we adopted a kitten earlier this year that is "S7's cat". She's grown into a very healthy, affectionate cat. I'm sure that S7 will bond with her even more, now that Jones is gone.

I haven't even allowed myself or S7 to see Marley and Me, since I had heard from so many people how sad the ending was. I've got a 11yo Australian Cattle Dog (blue heeler) that is MY special dog. She's had hip problems since she was a puppy, and can barely get around these days. I know that there will be a time soon when I have to make a decision about her as well. Just praying that I'll be in a stronger place emotionally when that time comes.

I broke my informal NC rule this morning after I dropped Jones off at the vet and got to work. I sent W a text message saying "I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I know better than anyone in this world how much Mr. Jones meant to you."

She replied back with "Baby, it had to be done and as usual you stepped in and did what I couldn't bring myself to do. I thank you for having the strength. He's no longer in pain and miserable. He was one special cat. My sweet kitty."

O.K...enough of my blubbering. I've got lots of work to do today to keep me distracted, for which I'm very thankful.
