Goodbye Sweet Buffett

[redrhodie]

I'm so sorry, CA. You made the right decision. Poor kitty. I know she had a good life because she was yours.

I'm so sorry for your loss, CA.

I'm sorry for your sadness. Sweet Buffett takes lovely memories of you to paradise. It's small comfort now, I know, but, as you know, the sadness of loss soon blossoms as the sweet memories return.

I often think that the very long line of dogs I've had have found each other and will be there together to greet me when it's my turn to take my sweet memories of life with me to paradise.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
But go ahead and cry anyway. I can tell Buffett was much loved and am so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's wonderful that her last hours were spent with love, though. It reminds me very much of when my family's cat Neutie passed away. His health had been failing for months, and my parents were due to take him in to the vet to be put to sleep the next morning. My dad sat with him all night... and Neutie passed away on his own before dawn.

I was only 7 years old when Neutie died... I was very sad that he was gone, but at the time, I didn't understand how beautiful it was that my dad held him and petted him for the last hours of his life. It was my dad who had brought him home 22 years earlier as a stray kitten (the story goes that after finding the kitty curled up asleep in a tire in the shop where he worked, he carried him home in a bucket... in my mind I like to imagine him presenting this kitten to my mom and saying "Can we keep it?!" )

I hope Buffett and Neutie say hello to each other sometime, and trade stories about how loving their human parents were.

Love and prayers to you in your sorrow and loss of your precious pet. We lost our 15 yr. old kitty a few months ago and my other kitty is 14. It has always seemed frustrating to me that a turtle or parrot can outlive humans, but our cats and dogs get 15 years on average - time passes so quickly.
