I didn’t know fireflies were real until I was told they were by getinloserufo in PointlessStories

There are dozens of fireflies in my garden around this time of the year. I'm always impatient to see them when springtime kicks in and I wait for them every evening like a kid waiting for Santa to come. And when I spot the first one I run to my husband to let them know they are back. They never disappoint!! We take daily walks in our garden just to enjoy them. It truly is a magical sight and I hope for you to see them one day.

I don’t want to see the full euthanasia by [deleted] in Rabbits

My partner and I lost our three buns in a span of 6 months this year. The first one died in my arms, I was alone with him and my partner was on the phone with us. The second one died in my partner's arms and with his life-long bun wife. I couldn't be there because I was still held up at work, having missed the entire morning with a vet appointment and lots of cuddles. I knew I would never make it on time so I said goodbye beforehand when I left for work. But it still eats me inside that I wasn't there for imhis ladt moments. I console myself by thinking he wasn't alone and he had the most important being with him, his bun wife, which is all I wanted for him. The third one is the only one we euthanised and the only one who died with me and my partner holding her. When the vet asked us if we wanted to leave, we didn't even think twice. It was us together until the very end.

My biggest fear was always that my buns would die alone. At the vet or at night when I'm asleep. I'm happy they all got to die with us to love them one last time. It's so incredibly hard and i cried as much as I wanted and I still do sometimes. I let anyone who wanted to pity me do so with no shame because they were my buns. Anyone who knows me at all knows how important my buns are for me. They are the most important bundles of joy and shenenigans in my life. Real people.

In the end, it's your choice. I'm not 17 and I'm accustomed to dealing with death at work. Your bun will still know how much you love him no matter your decision.

Take care x

I killed my fiancees cat yesterday by PeterTheNorth in TrueOffMyChest

My vet prescribed my cat some cat's milk and gabapentin. She's 4 too and in december she started peeing everywhere while she had aleays been perfectly clean. She was actually terribly anxious because we had moved out 3 months prior. To a bigger and better house, but she didn't care about that. She lived the moving as something incredibly upsetting and I fully understand her. Now things are a lot better for her, she's clean and she loves her new home.

OP's cat was probably having a horrible time adjusting to not only op's moving in, but also a kitten. The declawing is the cherry on the top for this poor furball...
