It’s a sad day in the land of being an adult. Casey just left to bring Lucy to the vet, where she’ll likely be put down. It’s a decision we’ve been avoiding for a long time because she’s not that old and she has nothing significantly wrong with her medically. But as I keep trying to remind myself, healthy cats don’t pee on the couch. And all over the carpet. And on everything on the floor that’s not a hard surface, including the kitchen rug right before Casey picked her up to leave. It was a last hurrah I suppose.
My heart is really heavy with our decision and I am thankful to Casey for bringing her, though I’m very sad for him because I know he loved her as much as I did, if not more. He almost never admitted it out loud, but actions often speak louder than words and she and him had a wonderful little relationship.
She and her sister were our first pets. We got them right after we moved into our first apartment and we quickly discovered she was the friendlier of the two, sweet and silly and lovable. She has made us laugh so many times and in so many ways over the years.
It’s going to take quite some time to believe she’s gone and for the heartache of that to subside. She was a part of our family and we’ll miss her, our little Lucy Goose, so very much.

I'm sorry! The way I look at it too, our pets who pee in the house, they really don't want to do that...it's not the way it's supposed to be for them.
Geesh, I have not had the chance until today to get to your blog. I am so sad to hear about Lucy. I read about Gracie on your hom's facebook, but it didn't say why. I thought maybe she had a 'little' too much company. My heart goes out to you and to Casey.
