We had our eldest cat Sandy put to sleep over Memorial Day weekend. She was getting old, going blind and deaf, had lost the use of one of her hind legs, and she hadn't been eating. We decided it was for the best.

At least I will remember what fun we had with her, and be thankful that her death was a peaceful one.
