Likely used to smoke. I stopped smoking nearly 30 years ago.
If I came down with a terminal illness the first thing I'd want on my
death bed is a carton of Winstons... even if just to smell them were I
on O2. Typically when in a stressful situation I still reach into my
shirt pocket for a smoke... like today, we had to put our littlest
feral down, little joiner dragged herself home with a shattered femur.
We called the Vet at 8:30 this morning and were told to bring her
right in. At first the Vet thought her hip bone needed to be popped
back in but after x-rays it showed her femor was so shattered that
she'd need extensisve repairs with screws and plates. And since she
is feral she would never be able to survive outdoors. And the initial
surgery would be $3,000 with likely several follow up surgeries, and
no gaurantees. Joiner only came into our kitchen each morning to
visit with Miche for a few minutes, they are best buds because she
brought Miche here. Each morning they ate together and wrestled some
but Miche is too big, so out she goes to carry on her hunting. Miche
weighs nearly 30 pounds, Joiner barely weighs 8 pounds.
We thought hard and long and took the Vet's advice and had her put
down while she was still sedated... Before going to get her I dug a
deep grave under a tree near the barn where Joiner liked to hunt.
Fortunately for me the ground wasn't frozen but there were lots of
rocks, but I perservered. I would have liked a smoke but instead
poured myself a stiff Crystal Palace later in the day.
Joiner is at peace under a shady Forest Pansy Tree where she'll never
be disturbed. Miche even now is at the back door waiting for Joiner,
he may never forget her, I know I will never forget that little cutie.
The Vet examined her carefully and said there were no signs of a
preditor, she must have fallen from a tree, and I know she liked to
climb very tall trees. Was not a good day.

I am so sorry to hear about Joiner.

I know how it feels
