    Would you have preferred 'Blowing in the wind'?

    :eek: I'm not from Trumpington, no side winds here ;)

    Taking my beautiful Rolo the cat to the vet to be put to sleep this morning. She's lost control of her back legs vet earlier in the week said he didn't think shed got long and we really didn't think she would last the night last night. .tried to put her on my bed this morning and she doesn't want to - a clear sign somethings wrong it's usually a big treat.

    17 years old and she looks so scruffy but still beautiful to me.


    If it should be that I grow frail and weak
    And pain should keep me from my sleep,
    Then will you do what must be done,
    For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.

    You will be sad I understand,
    But don't let grief then stay your hand,
    For on this day, more than the rest,
    Your love and friendship must stand the test.

    We have had so many happy years,
    You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
    When the time comes, please, let me go.
    Take me to where to my needs they'll tend.

    Only, stay with me till the end
    And hold me firm and speak to me
    Until my eyes no longer see.

    I know in time you will agree
    It is a kindness you do to me.
    Although my tail its last has waved,
    From pain and suffering I have been saved.

    Don't grieve that it must be you
    Who has to decide this thing to do;
    We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
    Don't let your heart hold any tears.

    I'm sure this question has already been asked and answered, but can't find it sorry - how and when do we pay the money/charity donation for the sweepstake? TIA

    I think the winner of each list will nominate a charity and then a giving page is going to be set up to make donations to.
