Losing a Pet
I was looking for the poem by Jimmy Stewart about his dog Beau, which I found, and I read some posts by others who have lost their loved pets. I can't find my way back there, but I'll add my thoughts here.
For us who have shared our lives with a pet, it is not "just a cat" or "Just a dog" or Just an anything. It is a friend, a confident, a very important part of our lives. Today I had to put my cat - actually a cat planted upon me by a daughter who had places to go, things to do, no time for the cat - to sleep. He was almost 15 years old and I had him for 10 years. He saw me through the loss of my aunt, and an uncle; I saw him through diabetes and glaucoma, giving him shots and eyedrops for these past 4 years. He sat on my lap most nights and purred and shared his warmth with me. He let me cry on his fur and was my friend. I will always miss this little guy - his golden fur and solemn manner. I can only hope that he is at peace and in comfort. |
I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like he had a wonderful life with you. :hug:

For Mr.Kitty...

I'm so sorry
Mr. Kitty, I completely understand. We lost our little girl in February and she is still sorely missed. I don't know if you found the "Rainbow Bridge" poem in your search but if you didn't, let me know and I will post it for you here. I found much comfort in that prose.
Again, my condolences. :hug: |
((Mr. Kitty)) I'm so sorry for your loss. It is difficult.
