Charlie the Lonesome Sweetheart

[Gemini Cricket]

I hate to say this, but I think putting Charlie down is the right thing to do. I think that was one of the hardest things I have ever had to post, but I do think that. Now I know, I'm not the biggest cat lover (I'm allergic) but I was thinking that if this were Frodo and there was a huge danger of him passing it on to equally loved doggies, I would reluctantly do it. I would be crushed for a long time, but I'd do it. I would hate to endanger other animals and leave that terrible choice up to those families.
Of course, if there is another way to deal with this situation then I say go for it. But I can't think of one...
My heart goes out to you both. And to Charlie, of course.
