Farewell my Sweet Herald

[bmccasland]

It was a long weekend, and he just didn't feel good, so this morning I took Herald to the vet for the last time. He was a Christmas cat, picking me out at the Flagstaff, AZ Humane Society Shelter - Me! Me! Pick me! - his little paw grabbing at me from between the cage bars. His loud meow earned him his name, something of a bad pun - Hark, the HERALD. We did 4 more moves together, along with his older sister, Bonnie. He's now pain free, and was gently helped across the Rainbow Bridge.

I know it was the right decision, but it still sucks. I'll miss his neck nuzzling, and guiding my hand over to pet him, or trying to steal my yougurt spoon.

So long sweet boy.

I hope that, in time, you'll be able to take comfort in the happy memories that you have and that they will help ease your pain.

(((((Beth))))). I am so, so sorry about Herald. I know how tough such decisions are. What a trooper Herald was, and you took such loving care of him. Hugs to you and your other furbabies.

oh, Beth. I'm so terribly sorry you had to let Herald go. I know he's thankful that you made the right decision and let him go peacefully. He misses you as much as you miss him, and while making the decision was difficult, you did the right thing. Hugs to you. So sorry for your loss.

Beth,

So sorry to hear, it's hard to loose our furry and feathered friends. My dearest friend from childhood became a vet and has created a website for persons who are grieving over the loss of their family companions http://www.drgalka.com/. There are also manuscripts available for download on two books she has written about animals and the afterlife.

I'm so sorry, Beth. Herald sounds like a great cat.

Doing the right thing is such a hard choice.

So, Sorry, Beth. Big Kitty (who lived in Flagstaff for the second half of his life) went to the Rainbow Bridge last year in January. I'm sure he will meet Herald with a little swat at the bridge, not too hard, just enough to show him who the boss is from Flag!

Hang in there, it is always so hard to lose our kiddos.

((((Beth)))) I am so sorry to hear your sad news, it's so horrible losing one of your best pals.

I suspect Herald is now happy the other side of the Rainbow bridge.

Think back on the lovely memories you have, especially losing your yogurt spoon to him.

Hugs.
