We have been having a lot of discussions about what do to with our beloved Sylvester lately. Since he has recently bitten Allisyn twice we had pretty much decided that if he bit her again we would have to put him down.
Fast forward to yesterday. Michael had him at the vet because he has been peeing on everything and turns out he has a bladder infection. Treatable with antibiotics. All would have been well, except he decided to take his stress and frustration out on the poor vet tech. He got her pretty good. This in itself would not have been too big of a deal except we don't keep our cats current on their Rabies vaccines. They never go outside and only come in contact with our dogs.
Edmond law states that is an automatic death sentence, but the officer gave us the option of quarantining him. So our options are, put him through the torture of quarantine and give him the opportunity to bite again under stress. Or go ahead and put him down. Either option if he bites again he has to be put down.
So please keeps us in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow, as we have to tell Sylvester good-bye. Especially think of Michael because he has never had to do this before and he has had Sylvester going on 10 years. Also think of Allisyn and pray that she quickly accepts that Sylvester is going to live with Jesus. She was very concerned yesterday when he had to be gone.

I'm so sorry about Sylvester! At least you guys have some wonderful memories to comfort you during this painful time.
Oh, that's so sad! What a difficult and painful situation. I will be thinking of you guys.
Hi, me again:). Just caught up reading your blog...I had not realized how far behind I was. You have had a lot going on! Congrats on selling the 4Runner.
I can't believe how much Allie has grown. She is so cute. Happy belated birthday to you both!
