We have lost an important part of our family. Katie's cat Rocky died on Friday. It wasn't exactly a surprise. We were going to take him to be put down after work and school on Friday. When we got home he was in pretty bad shape. Within 15 minutes he was gone. I think he waited for us to get home. It was a terrible thing to watch. I know I never want to watch an animal or a person die. He was fine a few days before, but he had been sick on and off lately. His liver was failing and we knew that this was it. I know that none of us were prepared for that last 10 minutes though. He suffered and Katie had a real hard time watching it. Rocky was everyone's cat, but he was Katie's in his heart. They really loved each other. He would try to get her to go to bed when he was ready for bed. He would walk toward the stairs and turn back and look at her. Then he would look at the stairs and back at Katie until she gave in or he did. He slept with her most nights. He let her dress him up and stuff he would never let anyone else do to him. He was around 15 so Katie grew up with him and spent almost her whole life with him. Kyle came to see him before we were going to take him in so he got to see Rocky one last time. It won't be the same around here. He is already missed.

So sad... at least he isn't in any pain anymore... He was so sweet too, you could really see that he knew when the kids were coming home, he would come down from the stairs and wait by Kyles door and look at the front door over and over... I am sorry he is gone :(
