Lost my boy today (sh.itjust.works)

I'm heartbroken. We found out he was FIV positive shortly after we got him, but that doesn't make the loss any easier. He was only 1.5 years old. Hold your cats close for me tonight.

Edit: I fell asleep, so I'm sorry that I didn't respond to everyone. I'm very thankful to everyone for the kind words and support.

I'm right there with you. Today I held my 16yo dog for the last time. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I'm so sorry. I hope he went peacefully, knowing he was loved.

I'm so sorry to you both. Losing friends is incredibly hard!

That's so sad but 16 years is a hell of a run! Lots of memories in there for sure.

And she wasn't slowing down at all until this weekend. She just shut down.
