I do not recall when we actually found Roadcat on the highway but it was over a year ago. She was hit by a car, or possibly fell out of the engine of one (as she liked to sleep in ours) but in that three weeks I kept her in that box on the patio I fell in love with her, and in fact I she became my most favoritest cat ever (please, do not tell Az). Of all the cats outside I would pick her up and pet more, as it was looking into her beautiful little face that made me happiest. Though, I do admit to likely petting Squirrel & Flat Cat more often, but mainly cuz they stalked me for attention. Once in a while I would bring her inside and we would watch a bit of TV together, or I'd pull the burrs from her hair and give her a good brushing. Sometimes we'd just sit on the patio and talk...

Wednesday morning she did not show up for breakfast and that worried me, but I felt better that afternoon when I saw her on the far side of the patio as I was heading out. I took a fleeting moment to run over and rub her head and to tell her that I worry when she is gone.

Thursday evening when we got home she was by the door, which is not all that common. She was skinny as a rail and didn't more to let us by like normal. We brought her inside with us and that is where she stayed...

Last night, I held on to her in bed for several hours before I fell asleep. I got up twice in the night and talked to her a little bit more. The last time I got up it was 4:08am. I once again told her that I loved her, then I took her little paw in my hand and I fell back asleep. Sometime between then, and 7:08am when the dog woke me up wanting to go out she passed onto the otherside.

I do believe she is happier there, but I will miss her none the less...and once she get's the paperwork out of the way I hope that she can find a mouse field where she can run and jump and do all the other things she's not been able to do this last year and a half....

Road Cat, I love you.

Grandpa passed away yesterday evening. Four months after grandma passed away.

May they both never be parted from upper rebirth's excellent bliss.

Rin I am so sorry to hear that. I have lost all of my grandparents and it is always so sad to see elders leave the family. I hope you have many fond memories and I wish peace for your family at this time.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Rin.

I am sorry for the grieving. But they are both now free of their pain and part of Forever all over again.

[Lost in Translation]

Sorry Rin. But it sounds like they are both together again, as they should be.

Thank you muchly, everyone. Grandpa's death seems to be more troubling to me than I thought it would've been. I think because now that he's gone, I really do feel some kind of separation from both grandma and grandpa. Curious.

I just received a phone call that Usdi, the best wolf in the world, has passed on. I got a call Friday that she was sick and intentionally voided a call this morning because I knew what the news was. She has just been a darling friend to be for about 7 years now. She was 9 years old and I have known her for a long time. There was a special connection there and I will treasure every single slobbery kiss she gave. She will be missed dearly. She will be buried tomorrow beside her first love, Joanna's husband Bill, who was her companion and best friend for many many years.

[Sandalphon]

Gone to her happy hunting grounds! Smile She's watching you.

Would that be the Bill of Buffalo greatness?

Today it's a very sad day .I'm writing this & tears keep rolling down my face ..,i lost my beloved furbaby & my loyal companion Lucky , and with him a significant part of my life is gone to.He filled my heart with joy since he was 12 weeks old ( 12-14 weeks i think ,he was a shelter dog ) & never left my side ,i / we loved him beyond words.
He lost his battle with the cancer at the age 13, he passed away peacefuly in my arms in this very early afternoon...,it was not unexpected ,as he was very ill the past 24 h ,my heart is broken to pieces and my world is upside down right now .Before he left this world i gave him one of the little pieces of my heart to take with him in the Green Fields . & when the day comes ,i will join him and cross together the Rainbow Bridge.
Goodbye my Precious Friend...

Sorry to hear of your loss, malah. Although I now live in the city, so no longer keep dogs, they were a major part of the first 30 years of my life, and I remember how much it hurt when a beloved pet died, particulary the old hound that helped raise me. Many dogs show more sign of having a soul than most humans do.

[Appalachian Crone]

This was sent to me when I lost my dear Usdi last month. It made me cry....but meant so much to me. I am sorry for your loss.

*************************

To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.

I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.

Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently upon me.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.

Togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as I am.
