Seti's not in any pain any more.

The vet concurred with my assessment of lymphoma having infiltrated several of his internal organs, causing system failures. Since the palliative care for lymphoma is no different than what we were already doing, we had already reached the end of treatment options. I feel like it is terribly unfair that this hit him at the very start of his old age, but I am in a way relieved that this was not drawn out and I feel like I made the right decision at the right time. I'm enormously sad--sad doesn't even begin to describe it--but I know he had a very happy life and only a small portion of it was this illness.

Here he is only seven or eight weeks ago in happier times. My camera work isn't very good, but hey, you try following a ball of energy like this one was!

I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry you had to make the decision, even if it was the right time, though I am glad for all of you that this wasn't drawn out. my condolences.

Good night, Seti. Tell Mom and Dad they should give me a holler if they need anything.

That was me being anonymously sorry by accident.
I'm glad you have video and photos of his life.

*huge hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you both.

I'm so sorry. You gave him everything you could for his whole life, and while I know it doesn't lessen the loss, you did right by the little weasel now, too.

What a little scamp!

He certainly had a wonderful life with you and M. Love to you all.

I'm so sorry. This sort of thing is never easy, but I hope you're able to take comfort in knowing you gave him a good and happy life for as long as you could.

I'm so sorry. I'm not a praying person, but I'll certainly be thinking of you all.

Good night Seti.

I'm glad you captured a few moments of his happiness on video for us all to enjoy (and you did a great job following the little bundle of energy and joy around ~ I especially got a kick out of how you knew where he'd eventually erupt out of the darkness!).

I am glad that the harder times at the end were relatively short, keeping the happy times to a vast majority.

*sending love*

It's is very good that the illness did not last so terribly long and lovely too that you have something to keep the memory alive. You are such good parents of these little ones HUG
