I'm only going to be strong for my pets.
Seph - known here as ElderlyCat - is having trouble breathing.
She's 18 years old. Frail aged. There's no way we're going to put her through distressing medical procedures she won't understand; at her age, it might give her a few extra months of life, or it might not.
Today is probably Decision Day.
If this isn't something very easy to fix, we're going to have the vet give her the euthanasia needle. And we'll bury her under the Camellia. (Camellias have a special meaning for my family.)
For today, and - if we have to say goodbye - the next week or so, I'm not going to be the strong one. I'm going to be grieving.
