rip fluffy

Last night was tough. It's been a long road for fluff and she was 17 years old, needless to say I guess it was her time. For me a very sad day. She's been a part of my life since I can remember and with animals I feel it's somewhat similar to people. When my grandma past away it was extremely sad, she was very old and really couldn't do much. It's hard seeing people that way and I tend to forget what they were like when they weren't because it's been so long. It was the same way with Fluff. This past year she has just kept withering away, not able to walk, losing a ton of weight, struggling to get around and then yesterday we found out she had fluid in her lungs. Her breathing became very labored and we just knew it was time for her to go. I feel like she's in a better place, but she was a companion and one that I could cuddle with when I wanted to. This sucks...
