Sorry to hear about your loosing your cat, Lucy. I know how you feel.
I lost my dog two years ago also 8 years old.
That dog went hard and soft water fishing many times with me and believe me when I tell you, I still miss him.
Time heals but the memories of 8 years will always be with you and your family.
Again I share your sadness.

Sorry to hear that tipup. I have had and lost my share of pets through my 46 years and it's never easy. Most passed of old age but I had to put one my dogs to sleep cause he had cancer and that was by far the toughest.

RIP buddy. he also had cancer. they become extensions of your family. pets are awesome. we have 3 cats and 3 horses currently.hope to add a dog to the mix soon. there are tons of cats out there that need homes. maybe in memory of lucy you go can save another one. goodluck.

Sorry about your loss. I definitely know how you feel - I had to put down my 18 year old Jack Russell last fall because he had cancer. It is hard no matter what age when they pass on.

Sorry man. We had to put our cat down in January. 16 YO. I didn't think I would have been that upset but I was when the time came. Its never easy to loose loved ones...pets are family.

hard it exacerbated a SEVERE bi-polar crisis.in combination of numerous other stressors

...missed a month and half of hard water it was so debilitating

Sorry to hear about your friend. Pets are better than people. If you get pisssed at your wife , husband even friend they they stay pissed at you for a while . Your dog or cat forgets the incident quickly and comes back to be your buddy again pretty fast. Animals are very forgiving. Best thing for you to do is to go to a rescue and find a kitten or a new cat . You'll never forget the old cat but the new one will keep you busy and a new place to devote your love. Lots of places to find a new cat who need a good home.

Snot, Tipup... I have lost 2 dogs since married with 3 kids (27 years). This is what I sent with "Princess Bailey of Bay Edge Drive" (breed registered name) aka Bailey.
She was a 12 year old Golden who had unconditional love for every human, her whole life. I woke up on Valentines Day, to find her in her usual spot, under the kitchen table, lifeless. She had died in her sleep. (as I write this, tears fall from my face

I had to get her into the truck before the kids woke up and bring her to the vet for cremation. (back then the kids were young - 1994, she was my b-day gift from my wife, the first year we married and bought a house) I grew up with Goldens.

This was sent along with her and a plaque with the same hangs in my house with her collar. I love that dog!

"She is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. She is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. She has told me a thousand times over that I am her reason for being; by the way she rests against my leg; by the way she thumps her tail at my smallest smile; by the way she shows she's hurt when I leave without taking her. (I think it makes her sick with worry when she is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, she is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, she clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, she is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, she ignores it. When I succeed, she brags. Without her, I am only another man. With her, I am all-powerful. She is loyalty itself. She has taught me the meaning of devotion. With her, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. She has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. Her head on my knee can heal my human hurts. Her presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. She has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need her. And I expect I will - as I always have. She is just my dog." Author - Gene Hill

Chance will ALWAYS be YOUR dog!

That's awesome Flaggs, I sent Tipup a PM expressing my sympathies. I had two Labrador Retrievers pass away from canine cancer within eight months of each....that floored me. I have been doing alot of voluenteer work for a gentleman walking from Austin Texas to Boston Ma. with his two dogs. Check out 2dogs2000miles.org it's about awareness for canine cancer. If you or anyone else wants more info Pm me.

that was nice flaggs. ansd thank u again DRL

flaggs, that is awesome, bitter sweet. Tipup, how are you doing? It's amazing how these animals touch our lives isn't it? I know it sounds crazy but i think i've grieved more over chancelor, than I did when my grandfather died. It's that unconditional love they give us. I've even questioned if it is worth having pet because of the void left when they pass away, but ultimately the answer is a resounding yes. Hope I didn't hijack your thread tip-up.
