Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Nugget. How sad.

It's been interesting to read through the posts and see how everyone copes with the loss of their pets. I thought the little red heart was touching and I loved the lasting tributes of plantings.

Many years ago, in another job and before I was fortunate enough to have a pet friendly landlord, a coworker's cat died. She had found this cat abandoned and brought him home and the two were constant companions. She was devestated by his loss and called out from work. I can still hear the office manager calling her and telling her to grow up and get into work. What a snot.

Within the past eight months three colleagues have lost their pets. While Chloe is pretty healthy and relatively young (Hunter is healthy too but I have no clue how old he is) I hope that I'm able to make the right decisions for them when the time comes.

Thanks for the replies.
