Sirius just started coughing up copius bright red blood.
The end is near. I've had a flexoril for my back and two glasses of wine, so I can't drive down the mountain tonight. I'll take him down in the morning for the last rites. He will probably die before tomorrow morning.

23. Just talked with the oncology clinic ...
Since he has hemangio sarcoma, periodic lung bleeding is to be expected. They were very encouraged that Sirius is not agitated. At their recommendation (I would have done it anyway), I am spreading a pallet to sleep next to Sirius tonight. I'll report in the AM!

Night-night

Mac & Sweet Sirius

25. I'm so sorry.
This is the part of our lifetime companion's time with us that is gut-wrenching. I hope he sleeps peacefully soon, you too. The hardest thing is letting go, but we must. We would choose them again in a heartbeat because their time with us is so precious. Warmest regards during this difficult time.

I read your post last night and couldn't bring myself to reply to it because it brought back sad memories of a cat of mine.

Bless your heart and may Sirius rest in peace.
