I wasn't able to be there when my last cat went a couple of years ago and I still regret it. If you can, go. But like Melkor said, there's no shame if you can't. You're doing the right thing and that's what you have to remember.

We were right there at his side, and our first cat who we had to put down at age 17 we were right there with him too.

Going in and being with them is hard, but for all the love they have given you over they years they deserve it.

It is peaceful, professional and done with such care and love.

I absolutely don't regret being there in the last moments, giving them strokes and talking to them.

Couple of things.

Sandi looked better not just because she was twenty years younger in those pics, she was also twenty pounds heavier. She's an anorexic looking old lady now.

CIG reacts to the handful of goons and Derek, because upper management is entirely unqualified ( except Ortwin) for the positions they hold. Its a giant pot of nepotism and sychophants, including beloved middle management art directors, programmers.
Even the two toned girl in the UK has been given responsibilities she's not qualified for.
Because this is a private company, and experience is second hand to getting a position.

Star Citizen Alpha 2.4, the "Biggest and Most Important Update" This Year, Is Out Now

quote:

Overall, this is the "biggest and most important" update to Star Citizen since Alpha 2.0, which came out in December 2015. The Star Citizen website has many more details on the update, including information about the new ships.

The Starfarer, for example, starts at $300, while a Gemini version of it goes for $340.

Nice work in the comments section everybody, very few Shitizens are sticking up for Chris Roberts there, I think they are giving up.

All of the nepotism would be fine if Chris Roberts was actually qualified to make a game. He would get the project done in spite of the completely useless people they are employing by actually managing and not being an idiot that wants to make a movie while scamming hundreds of thousands of people into paying for it.

It's the same way that if the game cost $40,000,000 to make and Chris Roberts literally snorted $75,000,000 worth of the worlds finest cocaine, most backers would still be happy because they got a loving game out of it.

but Good News Backers! You get the worst of both worlds, you paid $115,000,000 to employ useless people AND you get nothing out of it!

I wholly regret not being around for when our guide dog of 13 years (Labrador/golden retriever mix named Jack, in service for 10 years and a pet for 3) finally had to go. I was with my dad, taking him to a doctor's appointment when the vets came over to put our dog to sleep and I desperately wanted to be with him when he went.

He was the sweetest most gentle animal in the world from the beginning to the end and even in his final moments he was completely relaxed. I've missed every time one of our pets was put down for one reason or the other, but I feel that if you're strong enough to do so you owe them a final farewell and a thank you.
