It's a bugger.
It's also part of the commitment you make when you take on a pet: they can't make those decisions for themselves, so we have to decide when "enough is enough" and the quality of life is too poor for them. It's not an easy decision - I've had to make it too many times now, and only twice for the Big C - and I hope you won't have to make it for a good long time.

We just had our oldest cat put down. She is buried in our backyard now. Sad times, but it is part of life. Keep your chin up.

I understand what you're going through. We have two cats, one of which we adopted when my wife's favorite aunt passed away. This is one of the nicest, friendliest cats we've ever had. Shortly after we got her three years ago, she developed a tumor which we had removed. A few months later she developed another, and a few months after that a third. By this time the poor cat had been through three major surgeries. We looked in to other treatment therapies, all of which were outrageously expensive. We asked the vet what her prognosis was, and she thought that if we let it go, she would probably survive less than a year.
That was two years ago. She has a number of large tumors now, and does not get around nearly as well as she used to. With all that in mind, however, she still jumps in our laps when we sit down. She still likes to be picked up and held. She purrs constantly.
I can see the time coming later this spring or summer when we will have to put her to sleep. I dread this, not only because I will miss her, but because it will tear my wife up.

And if you do it, how?
I own a Samsung Galaxy S7 and smart switch doesn't make it...
Nothing gets synchronized between the phone and Microsoft Outlook 2016...
Any free option that works well?
I've seen MyPhoneExplorer, which seems that makes what I want, but I've never used it and wanted to ask about other options and what do people use here...
PS: I do have my contacts synchronized with Google to have a kind of backup and to be able to remove duplicates, which in Android seems to be a normal thing.
Thank you all!

My Blackberry Passport syncs with ease.

Yes, I still remember fondly my last blackberry phone... it made two or three things, but it made them perfectly.
Call using shortcuts and recognizing my voice without internet.
Synchronizing data...
Everything perfectly...
But there were lots of other things that weren't available...
Anyway now I own a Samsung phone with android and this is a difficult thing to me...

I use Companionlink[^]/DejaOffice[^]. Works OK, but not 100%. Sometimes pain in butt to get phone talking to computer, and due to slight handling difference between dates, I've had birthdays show up a day prior several times. But works well enough other than that.
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

Google used to provide a Sync tool for outlook to their products, not sure if it is still active.
You could take a look at this as an option

My wife has an Samsung A3 and uses the smart switch without issues.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've seen what is all about...
Smart Switch works well when contacts are in the same phone. In my case time ago I put all the contacts in Google's hands... which is not a good option, and now Smart Switch can't see them.

This is a general question to all and I really am not asking for help per say, but really just understanding why you have chosen a specific set of tools used for creating the majority of the projects created and what led you to the path you're on. For instance, I would like to know what programming language you prefer for creating GUI main pages, if you use cross platform or maybe any language depending on your project? You will be targeting a Windows environment Ver.7 and beyond. Let's assume that it's for a local program, not web-based and the targeted user will be using it as a database collection program. I just want opinions, advice and the knowledge from experienced programmers. What is your language of choice and why? Thank you for taking your time to share.  I am not trying to waste your time or annoy anyone, but my curiosity has been scratching the inside of my skull for some time now. Again, thank you and wish you all a Happy Easter!

C#, because it's an awesome language. And if I want a really professional looking UI, I use DevExpress (mainly because I know it better than other 3rd party UI frameworks.)

Or go ahead and write your own UI when nothing else fits together.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Mordor? LMAO!I love it! Java is a great tool and I do appreciate your input or should I say output? I know, I know, bad nerd joke but I couldn't help it lol.
Do you write in any other languages? Java will only get you so far and then you must use some variant of the "C" languages to start or complete your project, unless you're writing for a very specific object...
Thanks again,
-Randy

Java is ok. It's JavaScript which I really dislike. Despite the name the two are totally different animals.
I have picked up a few langages along the way, but I try to keep my eggs in the same basket for a single project. The big question always is which basket to choose. Java or C# are among your best bets when you intend to run your code on different platforms.
Right now I'm about to refactor a nice big load of code, but I'm caught between all chairs. I have nice data objects that have some built in logic, like validation. Now, that's a breach of the single responsibility principle[^] and I pay a certain price for that. I need to get those data objects throgh web services to a client. On the client side I must convert the dumb 'substitutes' back to the original types. That's not very complicated code, but it needs to be done for every object. Muche worse is that this approach also constitutes a breach of the multitier architecture[^]. Ok, it's not so hard to refactor the data objects, for example by moving the validation to a separate Validator object.
But when I strip the data objects of all logic, the next guru comes around the corner and tells me that I now have a anemic domain model[^]. That's usually the point where I let the gurus be gurus and go ahead with what appears the least harmful choice.
The comment about writing your own UI also was about this[^] little game client. There was no UI out of the box that could work together with a 3D engine, so I just made my own.

C# runs everywhere on all your Windows devices. Well alright, with .NET Core it runs on other devices as well, but I don't think it's as widely supported as Java just yet.
However... For true multi-platform support you need to travel to Mordor. JavaScript is the only language that will run in your browser (all the others just transpile to JavaScript), it runs on your desktop, on your server, on Linux, Windows, iOS, embedded, in your IoT devices, your dog, your cat, your grandma and the armies of Mordor.
Or maybe C++, C, Assembly or 1's and 0's

Nope. I could compile my stuff for Android and iOS, but I have not tried it yet. Perhaps it also works with Mono, then Linux is also in reach. Good enough.

So does any C64 emulator. Then we could just use good old C64 BASIC, wich is the older 'cool', but slowpoky interpreter everyone loved.

If only I was joking. JavaScript really is the one language that runs EVERYWHERE (or the one language to rule them all, sticking to the LOTR analogy).
One of the worst languages ever created so of course it had to be the universal programming language 
I wouldn't start with JavaScript as a first language though (even though it's really easy to get started with).
C# is a solid choice, beautiful and elegant language. It has many features JavaScript lacks.
Just download and install Visual Studio Community Edition and you're pretty much ready to go
