On May 18, 2007 Mom and Tanner took Dora our kitty to the humane society.
Since we've moved into our new house, Dora has been stuck down in the basement. Occasionally I forget she's there (it's been lovely.) So, with us building the new house, Davis and I felt it was time to get rid of all of the animals. We explained this to Tanner and he CRIED and CRIED. We tried to give him a little while to get used to the idea. But, finally it was time to go. Tanner got to spend the last night in the changing room with Dora and he took some pictures of her.
So, on Friday we met Dad at work and switched cars. Tanner and I took Dora to the Humane Society. This was a big mistake, because Tanner was a MESS!!!
Tanner did write a note to Dora. It was really cute. He was so emotional in the end he forgot to give it to her and that made him even more angry.
The note says, "Dora, you can swing by anytime. I love you Tanner
Tanner was so concerned that Dora was going to forget him. It was a very sad moment. Now he is fine and Mommy is very happy that the cat is gone. :)

Tanner has such a sweet heart about his pets. As unloveable as Dora was, she and Tanner did have a connection. She will be missed by those that love cats...and took care of her when she was so little and helpless. She was abandoned by her mommy at birth. Alison's daughter took them in and nursed them until they were 5 weeks old. Then Gramma took over until the kitty was old enough for Tanner to not kill it with love... You have to understand he was just 2 ish... So, his pets mean a great deal to him.
He will love a puppy someday, but not until a fenced yard can be obtained.
Until then, he will have to give Katie and Rusty a ton of attention and care.
How sad. I hope Tanner will be okay. I am sure you are very happy about it all.
Oh, I'd wondered where Dora had gone lol. I bet Tanner would love voulenteering at the Humane Society (when he's older). He would probably have a hard time leaving all the animals at the shelter though. That is verry sweet of him to be so concerned about the cat.
