    Sorry to hear of your loss. At least you were able to spend the last day together in the sunshine and happiness. Sounds like you all had quite the life together.

    Best wishes,
    Red Rock

    I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm going through the exact same thing having had to put my dog to sleep 2 weeks ago. Even though he was old and it was something I thought I was prepared for, it was still devastating. I still cry pretty much every day, and I miss him SOOOO much.

    So many of us know how you feel, hugs to you, and take care of yourself. And you can smile later, it's okay to cry right now.

    Badger, DH and I lost our little cat Tuffy at 16 in April and felt the way you described for months. I'm feeling for you. We still felt sadness in August when we adopted a cat from the Humane Society. She is the neatest little cat and having her has helped a lot, but we still miss Tuff. Go ahead and cry, it's ok to miss that loving little soul that graced your life for so long. Everyone's different - I pray every day, so I pray "Thank You for giving us Tuffy to love." We miss them because we were so grateful to have them in our lives. Many hugs to you.

    {{{{{{{{{{{{{{CA}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sending butterflies full of love and wonder to you in your time of loss and sadness. You had a beautiful time together. May you continue to feel Buffett's love in your heart forever.

    I've asked my Yogi, Bill, Ted, Norton, Giro and Leonard to greet him at the Rainbow Bridge.

    Hugs and butterflies,
    ~T~
    The butterflies are within you.

    Thank you all so very much. Your words mean more than you possibly can know. There have been many tears - I just included to quote to remind myself of all of the good times. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

    We did go to San Diego, and are still here. I'm sure everything will hit again when I get home, but I've tried to focus on the joy in life this week. I do think going ahead and leaving was a good thing (my DH had to go, and I don't think it would have done me much good to stay home and mourn - which is what I would have done). And I understand from the multiple friends who are staying with my other kitty in shifts to make sure he doesn't get lonely that he's doing OK. That's a relief.
