I truly appreciate everyone's heartfelt condolences and my thoughts are also with those whom have lost their pets recently as well. We are slowly accepting it, and things are slow moving, but eventually things will get better. It may never be the same again but my wife and I know that he will...

Had to make one of the most difficult decisions in a long time tonight. Our little furry man Ralphie ended up having a few tumors that likely were cancerous (we had scheduled removal this thursday), he lost a lot of weight, and you could tell he was not feeling well. We rushed him to the vets...

Just wanted to give everyone an update and a big 'thank you' for all of your advice.  My wife and I came home from work last night, and tried to feed Ralph, and he ate a little, but had trouble breathing, so we rushed him to the vets. He was very stand-offish with everyone, and they had to wrap...

**Update** My wife and I returned home last evening from jogging, and we happened upon some cat throw-up. The second thing we noticed was that Ralphie was up on the table, which he normally does, however, when my wife went to pick him up and set him on the floor, she noticed a second lump, this...

Hello again! I have another conundrum with my Ralphie boy. He got much better, was all healed up, and on the mend for two weeks from having his tooth removed back in December. He was acting like his old self again. A few weeks ago my wife and I come home, and he comes out, does his thing, has...
