I know people ...I am so very sorry for your losses. I know people tell you I know how you feel but I can honestly say yes I do. You see we had to put our 18 year old lab to sleep it was the hardest thing I have had to do. She was my comforter she knew if something was wrong with me before anyone else. I told her you let mommy know when your done and she did her tired body couldnt go any more. I wrote along letter to put in her grave it was all about her life and she did some silly things. My heart was broke into. The vet told me to make sure I payed extra attention to Lady bug and I did. I didnt want to leave her side. But no matter what I did wasnt good enough she passed away during the night. She was my heart where I was she was she was 16 years old and the vet said its not uncommon they know. Raven and Lady bug spent all day together when we were at work she lost her sister and her best friend. <br />I didnt think I would ever get through this but as they say time will heal you. Its been 4 years and I still expect them to greet me at the door.<br />I have 2 cats one that is very fat and one that is my husband girlfriend not really she is with him all the time and mine is with me all the time. I dont know how I would of gotten through this with out her. I still miss them everyday it does get easier to go on but the whole in your heart will never close completely. So just know we will see them at the rainbow bridge until then we have wonderful amazing memories. <br />I just wanted you to know how sorry I am. I used to read your blog everyday and then life just kinda took a turn and I lost you but I am so happy I found you again.<br />HUGGS<br />TerrieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159460688627868338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-49790180859510168012012-07-09T02:15:48.532-05:002012-07-09T02:15:48.532-05:00OH Christie- I just saw your posting about your fa...OH Christie- I just saw your posting about your family pets. Im soooo sorry, I understand the tremendous grief you must have gone thru & may still be struggling with. I have lost my share of family pets over the years & it never gets any easier! I had to put my little lovebird down last year, he used to sleep on my fiances chest every nite, it was too cute & sooo sweet to watch! they leave such a void when they go, hope you have healed somewhat, my heart & prayers go out to you & your hubby.

Our street is very quite and a caldsac so there is no traffic at all except the residents. I have been heart broken and Jazz my other cat is like your Indy and she is now lossing all her fur. I am hoping that she will recover and not die of a broken heart. Jazz and the Seth (the dog) get on really well together but Jazz's main companion was Beautiful. Hugs to you both and you know when the time is right another stray or two will want to take up residence with you and it will be like Indy and Maui are telling them that's the place to be.

His litter mate, Willow is still with me. We grieved together and she has been very clingy but seems to be adjusting. I know you miss them both. Be comforted by the wonderful memories of how they have enriched your life.myskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782352947566674338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-46540077705182905012012-05-17T22:16:41.553-05:002012-05-17T22:16:41.553-05:00I am so far behind in all my groups as you can tel...I am so far behind in all my groups as you can tell by me not posting but I was looking you up and it breaks my heart to read this. <br />Nothing I can say will help you with the missing and sadness now but I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that you are blessed by them taking you into their lives. (Yes, I know you said you took the stray in and all but we really don't own cats, they own us.) You have provided a nice home for them filled with love and they love you, try and take some comfort in that. It really is better to have them and love them for whatever time we can than not to have known them at all. Although I do know it sure don't feel like the pain is worth it once they go but really....it is. Rejoice your time with them and let that fill the hole in your heart instead.Sue in CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713248265778076463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-32615557872036662182012-05-16T18:33:12.819-05:002012-05-16T18:33:12.819-05:00I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your pr...I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your precious kitties. It is so very hard to lose a pet, let alone TWO! <br /><br />We have had that kind of year around here too. First, Sir Grumpy died. He was my DDs hamster. Then w/in a couple of months, Stripes, our funny hen, died of a mystery injury that no one saw in time. It was hidden under her feathers. She was acting just fine, until it was too late. :( I had to have her put down in October. After her, in early January our outdoor kitty (she hung out with the chickens) disappeared. We are so very sad, and miss dear, sweet, Cuddles all the time. She was so special and loved being with the hens. She thought she was one of them. We suspect she left the chicken yard and coyotes got her. Breaks my heart! Lastly, in March, one of our dogs killed my silly, recently blind hen, Flash. It was HORRIBLE! Poor Flash wandered where she shouldn't have gone. In a split second, she was gone. I cried and cried for hours. <br /><br />I feel sad about them all. I know these things happen when we have pets, that they do get ill and die, but it is terribly hard. They are a part of our families and our lives. We still miss them and grieve when they die. <br /><br />I didn't mean to ramble on about my pets, but I just wanted to let you know just how much I understand. I miss them all every single day. I hope that in time, you can enjoy your memories of your friends and know that they loved you and had a wonderful life with you. <br />{{{{{hugs}}}} to you and your hubby too!<br /><br />StacyAznewmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888831554034848658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-28011596917788503292012-05-15T20:33:18.479-05:002012-05-15T20:33:18.479-05:00My heart goes out to you. i lost 3 within a few mo...My heart goes out to you. i lost 3 within a few months of each other, I have one left of the family, and she is 15 ys old, so far in great health.

They touch our hearts in ways that are so special and bring pure joy into our lives. I made a 4 page list of all the funny and endearing things my last baby did in the days following and I know I would have forgotten some things otherwise. 5 years later I still pull out my special list and the smiles fill my heart and I am so grateful for our wonderful time together. I pray for your healing and for amazing new angels to come fill your heart again....<br />With deepest sympathy,<br />pamicatPam Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101592217489544505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-42177583942785025452012-05-15T09:00:13.032-05:002012-05-15T09:00:13.032-05:00Such a loss they really steal our hearts.Such a loss they really steal our hearts.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077645270052587033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-62275163583644543942012-05-15T06:41:10.810-05:002012-05-15T06:41:10.810-05:00I'm heartbroken for you.

It was devastating, they lived their entire 18 years with me and I still cry when I look at their pictures or talk about them. About a year before their death, I found a kitten in the road on the way home from work, both eyes were infected and he couldn't open them. When the vet cleaned and opened his eyes, I saw they were BLUE. I told the vet I'd find a home for him but I fell in love with Rummy and he is the most unique cat I have ever shared my home with. When the other 2 died, Rummy was lonely so adopted another cat for him. I can't imagine my life without cats in my home. Don't rule out more cats, there are wonderful fur babies out there that need your love. No they are not going to replace the others but they help fill the hole in your heart with their sweet love.Grammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719709886909930665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-6348871956094165212012-05-14T10:35:07.799-05:002012-05-14T10:35:07.799-05:00Christie, I am sorry for your unhappiness about yo...Christie, I am sorry for your unhappiness about your babies.

Last year I had to put my two cats to rest. I still miss Sidd and no cat can replace him, but we did get a new baby to keep the remaining cat happy. I know how your feel about not wanting to get any more cats. However, Dusty has brought new life into the house -he'll never be Sidd even though he does things that remind me of my boy - but he has brought fun back to this house that was more like a nursing home before with two ailing cats. My heart goes out to you and your family. They sure do take a piece of our hearts.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596357437827549883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-73563210584361455532012-05-10T01:52:42.830-05:002012-05-10T01:52:42.830-05:00I've been thinking of you since Ranger U, I kn...I've been thinking of you since Ranger U, I know how painful it is to lose a pet and I'm sending hugs from Canada!Creative Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711933452430478629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-17287777799440239542012-05-09T21:07:37.607-05:002012-05-09T21:07:37.607-05:00I am so sorry for the loss of your cats.
