We put Frodo down yesterday. Bar none one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. We knew it was coming, but when it came down to pulling the trigger, we were all so so sad and really struggling with the decision and second guessing our actions. Our sweet baby was diagnosed with diabetes back in January and he had gotten worse as the time went on. He was still so sweet with us and loved being around and our kiddos just loved him. Gemma especially, just wanted to see him whenever she was awake and he was around. Micah broke my heart yesterday. We were packing up the car to take Frodo to our vet, and when I came in to find him I heard sobbing. Literal sobbing. I figured Christian was with the boys saying bye to Frodo, and when I went up to find him it was just Micah hugging Frodo and saying how he was going to miss him. Oh my heart. This is SO.HARD. But we thank the Lord for the 13 years we had with our sweet fio-buddy. In the words of Christian yesterday, here is his tribute to Frodo:
We said our good-byes today to our feline family member Frodo today. He
was very well-loved and an important symbol of the start of Kelly's and
my relationship. He endured many life transitions and played well with
every new child that arrived in our family. We will miss him dearly.
Good-bye buddy.
