For today the task I chose to do was a “people” task and it was to help. I was to do something, to offer my assistance or to be useful to someone or a living creature.
I took Cathy to the vet to have her nails clipped. While sitting in the waiting area, a lady came in asking if she could bring her cat right in the examination room. When they called her in, she went outside and her son came back with the cat wrapped in a blanket that was literally howling. Its cries sounded so sad and painful. They rushed by me and went in directly. I had to look away and take a few deep breaths as I sadly realised that my next visit to the vet will most likely be to have Cathy put down. A wave of emotions came over me, as I sat there looking at people with their pets, I almost broke down in tears. That thought was too much for me at that moment.
When the technician came back with Cathy she was trembling so much that I felt really bad about having brought her there. I took pity on her for prolonging her life that way. I know that her life with me will be a short one. At least I’m hoping it will be. I really don’t want her to suffer. I want her to finish her life the way that she lived it: happy, loved and well taken care of.
Today was her first full day with us. She is lost; it shows in the way the wanders around, non-stop when she's not sleeping. She had 2 “accidents” in the house, even if I brought her out every time she woke up. The second one was right after we came back in. I didn’t reprimand her since I know her state of “awareness” isn’t what it used to be and she’s totally disoriented.
I will help her to go in a peaceful way, or at least I'm hoping that I will help.

This is SO interesting, the No Diet Diet thing.
Intriguing.
Welcome to my blog whinger!
The "No Diet Diet" is very interesting, indeed. At first I thought it was quite intriguing when I first read about it, and then when I got the book and started doing it the idea behind the whole concept made sense to me.
I'd figure, at worst all I had to lose was the cost of the book and if I was lucky, maybe a few pounds in the process. So far I must say that it has been quite interesting (I've been doing it for 17 days now.), and it made me realise a few things about myself and that was a bonus factor for me.
If you want to have an idea of what I've done so far, just read back. I've posted about every step since I started. (Started May 31st, my first entry was entitled "Let's try this") Let me know what you think. =^..^=
