Thank you for listening to this edition of the Call of the Day.

Be sure to listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011.

Lauren, welcome to the program.

Oh my gosh. Hi, Dr. Laura. This is such an honor. Thank you.

Thank you. Can you hear me?

Yes. What can I help you with?

I think, thank you so much. I think I know what you're going to say. I think I need you to tell me

47. I think I need to finally grow up. I had my beautiful cat cast away yesterday. I had to

touch her down. I thought that she was just she was only like three and a half.

I've had pets for many years now. So I've gotten married and we've all I've only really

had to put pets down when they've gotten old and you know their bodies were we're bringing down.

But basically the vet said that she would have that surgery. She had a

preparation in her intestines and the surgery like they didn't think it would help.

Anyway, she's suffering and so I had to put her down. I was by myself. Normally like my husband

handled that. He grew up in a farm and he handles the grease better. I tend not to face things.

And I was by myself and I thought about getting my son who was nice. He loved the cat and

I didn't. I thought that would be cool and I felt still badly because my son said I should have

gotten him. But anyway, I've always done this my whole life and somehow now I know it's wrong.

I'm sorry. What is it you've done your whole life? I didn't I listened to every word.

I'm sorry. Every time I've gotten a pet and it died like the next day or the day after I went out

and got another one. I see no I see Madam I see no problem with that and I wish you had brought

yourself. I see no problem and you're getting another kitty cat today. I figure you've got love
