    How's your T doing Lori? Everytime I open this thread I tense up, expecting bad news... glad to see that there hasn't been any yet...

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    Oh, ah, well, I haven't checked. I mean, she is in her little dark corner still curled up but whether she's alive I don't know... I don't want to disturb her anymore. I'll check tonite tho.

    I don't blame you Lori... I think I shared with you guys that I made my son check on Sly this spring cause I hadn't seen him in a while... thankfully he was fine, but yeah... I didn't notice our T doing anything unusual when he passed. One day I checked on him and he was just gone

    Ok guys. Tatiana is still alive, still curled up. I need a general concensus on what to do. I'm calling my vet today, too.

    Do I let her die on her own?

    Do I find a humane method to euth? Is freezing humane? Would I cool her slowly by putting her in the fridge first, or straight to the freezer?

    I could have hubby take care of her somehow, I suppose...

    Aaaaargh.

    I'd put her straight to the freezer... they get cold then are in a state of euphoria and feel nothing then they go to sleep... I know it's hard to say good bye but really this is the only humane thing to do...

    I am so very sorry Lori. Wish there was something I could to do to make things a bit easier for you.
