I have these words hanging on a small plaque from the box beside my door. I have been thinking of an act of kindness that's been nudging me for days now: Clawdia is in kidney failure and losing weight. She is much thinner now than in the
photo below, with her ribs sticking out on each side, so I indulge her when she
asks to get out of our apartment. One day she wanted to go for a walk in the hall, so I made four loops to the end of our hallway and back, twice adding the elevator area to our trek. I'd made a note of how many steps I'd already taken so far that day before we went out the door. When I checked the number of steps after our walk, I was startled to see I had taken exactly
1,000. Exactly! The act of kindness I'm considering? Euthanasia.
* FYI: Clawdia died this afternoon, shortly after 3:30 pm.

I'm sorry that you lost Clawdia. That must be tough. I'll miss seeing her on your blog, too.
Here's a link to an article about grieving a pet. I got tears in my eyes while reading it:
