Lilya...

All I can say is kudos to you. All of your actions were predicated by sound logic and reason. You should be proud of how your recovery worked today. I'm not sure if I would have been able to make all of these things happen in a day and it must have whipped you into a crepe suzette (spelling?)

This story is indeed unbelievable but it has an ending which, if not 100% perfect, spares a life, which, my dear friend, is something that we, as the two-legged ones owe to our four-legged friends. I share a sense of relief about this, although I know that parting with Luna will be hard, but she will be able to be free. Nine years old is not old by cat standards--I had a cat live to be 18, and she will have many, many more years.

I am also touched by you enlisting a priest in this. It's like your HP is on full blast tonight, Lilya. All of these actions, despite knocking you out, were able to happen. Isn't amazing how one's demons can be defeated when one is healthy enough to not succumb to them? I am so proud of what you did, Lilya, since today I had 21 of my DottyDog Dalmatian's teeth extracted. She is 14 and is resting comfortably tonight, and I know that she is in some pain, but in a couple of days she will be okay. The vet also thought she was in kidney failure but she is not, thank heavens! I thought about you when I went to pick my baby up today and what you were facing with the possible execution of Luna.

Last year, in May, my other dog had to be euthanized. She was DottyDog's "room mate" for 12 years, also a Dalmatian, and I loved her so much. She had a spinal tumor and could no longer move and I made the decision not to let her live like that. It still hurts me and I think about her everyday--only now, I don't cry as often.

Relax tonight. You've earned it
