00:00We're walking on a holy grail.
00:28For the Lord is with us wherever we may be.
00:35We're walking on a holy grail.
00:44We're walking on a holy grail.
00:57This is how the grail is hung.
01:11This is how the grail is hung.
01:27This is how the grail is hung.
01:46Bless us, O Lord.
01:48You saved my back.
01:49Cross our hearts.
01:50Amen.
02:04Hey, Dr. Michael.
02:06It's Cindy, Cross Street.
02:08I talked about Fiona, and I know you know, and I finally know that it's time.
02:22So I don't need to talk.
02:26Thanks, Cindy.
02:27You know my number.
02:28And I'll talk to you soon.
02:31Okay.
02:32Thanks.
02:33Bye.
02:35Monday, 8.48 p.m.
02:56Oh, yeah.
02:5711 pounds, that's wonderful.
03:00Yay.
03:0111?
03:02Mm-hmm.
03:03Hold him for a second.
03:05What would be a normal weight?
03:0811.
03:0911?
03:10Why is that?
03:12Anyway, if he weren't...
03:17Oh, I'm sorry, Tony.
03:20Yeah, that's got to cause issues, too.
03:26I'm sorry.
03:28I'm sorry.
03:33There.
03:34There we go.
03:35I'm sorry.
03:39Better?
03:40All better?
03:54Let me listen to your asthmatic lungs.
03:58Yeah, I'd say that's two or three times a day, maybe more.
04:06You're okay.
04:07You're okay.
04:08You're okay.
04:13That's a radio shot, and it's good for three years.
04:15Okay.
04:16So, unfortunately, this may be the last vaccines he ever gets.
04:20I know.
04:21I don't mean to be negative.
04:23Some cats live to be 20.
04:24That's right.
04:25This might be what?
04:26These vaccines last for three years, and this might be the last vaccines he ever gets.
04:30Oh, yeah.
04:33Tony's doing okay for his age and for his condition.
04:37Well, that's good to hear.
04:57Here you go.
05:00Hey, baby girl.
05:01Hey, sweet girl.
05:03Hey, sweet girl.
05:05Hey, sweet girl.
05:07You're okay.
05:09It's okay.
05:17Hey, sweet girl.
05:26Dammit!
05:56Gordy, you're a good dog.
06:09Oh, such a good dog.
06:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:14I know.
06:15There you go.
06:17Thank you, Gordy.
06:18Oh, what a good dog.
06:19She's such a good dog.
06:20He is a good dog.
06:21He is so lucked out with her.
06:22She is a good dog.
06:23She's worth all this hair.
06:24There, there.
06:25I'm done.
06:26Can you breathe that way? No, that's alcohol.
06:28You leave that to your vet.
06:30Good dog. Good dog.
06:32I do apologize.
06:34Yes.
06:35He doesn't really do this for sport.
06:38I don't do it for sport.
06:39Perfectly trustworthy.
06:43I am so much better at doing this
06:45when I got reading glasses.
06:47God.
07:49So, each once a day or twice a day?
07:51Twice.
07:52Yeah, I think that's a good thing.
07:54About one cup each time or a little less.
07:58Perhaps it could be a little bit more or less.
08:01A little bit less.
08:03Just not by much.
08:04I quite agree.
08:06She certainly gets plenty of exercise.
08:07Yes, she does.
08:08But yes, she's blossomed out.
08:12Not quite coffee table effect.
08:14No, no, but...
08:18You sound good, Sandy.
08:20You're an athlete too.
08:26Good girl.
08:28She's a leg girl.
08:30Oh, there you go.
08:32That's our Fiona.
08:35Put your...
08:37We're putting you sternal as we say at the clinic.
08:40You and all the pugs.
08:42Sternal.
08:43Sternal means to head up.
08:45I'm always having to do that.
08:47Yes.
08:48Recumbency is flat on your back.
08:51My sister, not my daughter-in-law.
08:54All right, we need to begin to get her to the door.
08:57All right.
08:58Let me see if I can get myself up.
09:00Hello.
09:14Three shy, demure ladies.
09:31Oh, there we go.
09:35There we go.
09:37There we go.
09:39There we go.
09:41There we go.
09:42There we go.
09:43There we go.
09:44You got it, baby.
09:46You're good.
09:47You're good.
09:48You're good.
09:49You're good.
09:50You're good.
09:51You're good.
09:52You're good.
09:53You're good.
09:54You're good.
09:55You're good.
09:56You're good.
09:57You're good.
09:58You're good.
10:00You're good.
10:13What's next, Mr. Martin?
10:18I'm going to give her a shot.
10:20Yeah.
10:21It's kind of between the shoulder blades.
10:24It's a Valium type drug.
10:26It's your bread and...
10:27She should be on what we're going to put her to here.
10:30Definitely not.
10:32Let's wait till she's knocked out.
10:34Damn you, baby.
10:36I know.
10:37I know.
10:38I know.
10:39I know.
10:40I know.
10:41I know.
10:42All right.
10:43I know.
10:44I know.
10:45I know.
10:46I know.
10:47I know.
10:48I know.
10:49I know.
10:50I know.
10:51I know.
10:52I know.
10:53I know.
10:54I know.
10:55I know.
10:56Hey there, sweetheart.
11:03It's going to take four, five, six, seven minutes before she's knocked out, but it'll
11:20be obvious she's knocked out before we proceed.
11:23But you'll let us know.
11:31What a good dog.
11:33What a very good dog.
12:00Does she feel it when the shot goes in?
12:07Does she feel it when the next one goes in?
12:10So I'm going to put a tourniquet around her leg.
12:29She obviously won't know it.
12:33See if I can find her vein.
12:37If I do find a vein, I'll tell you I'm injecting.
12:42And it will be very shortly after that that she's no longer with us in the way we know her.
13:05She does not have good blood pressure, which just means she has an old heart, too.
13:27Pretty much how Katie did with Dorothy.
13:37Oh, what a good dog.
13:38Give me her vein.
13:41Right off.
13:44I'll be injecting now.
15:23She's gone.
15:35My baby girl.
15:37You're a baby girl.
15:53I don't know what to do.
15:55I don't know what to do.
15:57I don't know what to do.
15:59I don't know what to do.
16:01I don't know what to do.
16:03I don't know what to do.
16:05I don't know what to do.
16:07I don't know what to do.
16:09I don't know what to do.
16:11I don't know what to do.
16:13I don't know what to do.
16:15I don't know what to do.
16:17I don't know what to do.
16:19I don't know what to do.
16:21I don't know what to do.
16:41I made it.
16:43There.
16:44I see you on the other side.
16:48I see you on the other side.
16:55Beautiful phelona.
16:59Beautiful phelona.
17:03Beautiful phelona.
17:07I love you so, you know it's true, I can't imagine my life without you, you're the one
17:26for me.
17:37I love you so, you know it's true, I can't imagine my life without you, you're the one
17:47for me.
17:48I love you so, you know it's true, I can't imagine my life without you, you're the one
17:57for me.
