RIP Oedipoes 2002-2016
My dad texted me this afternoon, that Oedipoes was doing really badly. I knew from my visits his health declined rapidly. He had been on thyroid medication for two and a half years. And you could really see the disease and medication were taking their toll. My dad and step mom took Oedipoes to the vet and put him to sleep forever.
My dad called Oedipoes his little dog, and he surely did behave like that. He was always by my dad's side. Oedipoes waited at the garage door when you came home or he would greet you at the shore when you had been out on a boat trip. Oedipoes made sure the other three cats got used to the new home when they all moved house in January. We called him the mediator. Sometimes we called him The Nurse. When my dad broke his ankle a few years ago, Oedipoes stayed with him all the time he was in bed or on the couch, purring and snoozing. Oedipoes immediately clung to him when he and my step mom were in a grave car accident in April when they dropped me and big Human off at the airport. The orange kitty watched over him and stayed at his side again.
Now they had to tell him he did well and he was allowed to go. He just clung on and refused to give up on life. It was like all he wanted to do was to give, but he couldn't give anymore. We will miss him dearly.
