I am washing day 10 of the grand tournament and Tamawashi got his first win, which is great! The announcer said his calf injury is why he's lost so many up till now. My question is, is there not a way to bow out of this tournament to fully recover for the next one without penalty?
My black cat of 12 years, Shiba, had to be put down today. I was on a work trip when the sitter said she was progressively getting worse and worse in behavior and eating habits. She took her to the ER vet, where she stayed until I flew back 5 days later and held her for an hour before making the decision to put her down. She could have kept living, but I would have had to administer shots and multiple medications a day, all while traveling for work monthly and being single eithout support in aiding the cat. The vet warned it was pallative care, and she could pass at any time. When I saw her, she looked just...done. and so I did what I feel was right.
Maybe I'll always wonder how much longer she would have had if I could have promised to stick with these medications, but she just looked so sad and in pain, I can't imagine it being better for her.
Anyone else face this dilemma? How did you cope?
