Our best friend stuie had to be put to sleep today.
He was 21 y/o and up to about a week ago he was doing fine.Hyperthyroid disease and old age just got the best of this spunky tabby.We did everything we could to keep him healthy and when he became very ill, we did what we thought would make him comfortable.The vet wanted us to bring him down but we decided to let him go in piece as she said he would probably not make it back to us.
The reason he is so special to us is that he adopted us.One day prior to meeting my husband,Stuie barged into my husbands house,after being taken out of the house he was right back there the next day.Well my husband could not resist and Stuie moved in.This was also a time when my husband experienced a great loss in his life so Stuie was needed more than he knew,or maybe he did know? He still played outside every day but would charge into the house when he came home.When I moved in Stuie welcomed me with open arms and I haved loved him since that day.He was so independent we had to iinstall a Kitty door for him which made him so happy.When he came in from playing outside he always said hello and would not stop meowing until you said hello.I could go on and on about my best friend stuie as he will be deeply missed.
