awww Richa67, Ryker was a handsome dog. love that pirate patch over his right eye! lucky dog to have wound up with you
furry ones are the best, most loyal friends ever.
currently i have 2 young dogs and one 14.5 yr old cat. i have 2 dogs, 3 cats & one sweet bunny wabbit in heaven. plus, i've had plenty of mice, rats & goldfish. i'm not even counting the pets from my childhood.
yeah, it sucks & hurts like hell to say farewell to them, but it's worth it for all the time they did bring joy to your life.
the last kind act you can often give your beloved pet is euthanization. too bad we can't do the same our beloved humans.
a few pics of my furry babies...

Jeff: kidney failure is a very common demise of cats. 16 yrs is a good long run for a cat. prepare yourself to do the right thing for your friend when he gives you the sign. you'll know, trust me. it won't be easy for you, but it's not your pain that matters then... yknow.
*hugs for everyone who has loved & lost*
keep adopting from shelters. so many fine pets need homes! mixed breeds are physically healthier & socially your best bets
