My condolances on the loss of Jonah, but I think it happened in the best way possible. And the interactions with CHL that night sound really good.
As long as he didn't suffer or I couldn't have got him somewhere quick enough to prevent his suffering I much prefer this to having to make a decision of when it was time to put him to sleep. I thought CHL and I had a pretty good evening. I really appreciated him and I hope I made that very clear to him. I thanked him for the thoughtfulness of the blanket and then later for all of his help.
You are stronger than you knew, right?
You got that right! I am still waiting on the total mental collapse to happen.
And as for the teeth brushing...we TRIED to do our cat's teeth, the vet highly suggests it...but they HATE it, and I hate it and it never gets done. They are three happy kitties though! (Even if our oldest girl is going a tad senile and yowling whenever she finds herself alone in a room)
I can't imagine brushing a cat's teeth! You gave me a laugh. How about the wipes they have out now that you just wipe their teeth with, might be something you could do. I have too much plaque built up right now and may eventually have a dental done on all but Breeze. Going to work on it myself first and see where I can get them too though. I don't like giving them the anesthetic for the dental and it is expensive!
Take good care of Pam this weekend...surely you can work in something more fun/relaxing than the taxes????
Does the kids and I turning the fireplace on and napping together in the family room count?
