Thank you everyone. It has been a difficult few weeks, even though we knew it was coming. All your kind words have been a balm of sorts, even though this wound is still raw and gaping. Your comments have helped a bit.

The toughest part of keeping pets (or pets keeping us, really) is that they are family members that don’t live so long, comparatively and that just sucks.

Your little pumpkin was very lucky to have you two and vise-versa:)

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I put my eighteen year old girl down last January (2008). She was my daughter. She also had cancer that was rotting her face. It was awful. It brings tears to my eyes even now as I type this. She was the most special girl one could have and so I know exactly what you are going through. I have no comforting words other than you were so lucky to have her for sixteen years and she was lucky to have you. Celebrate her life and know that she suffers no more.

Hugs and compassion,

i’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Our animals have a way of creeping into our hearts and taking up permanent residence there, don’t they. Sending love & prayers.

My heart breaks for you both. They very much become our children… and the ones that show just a litte more personality weasel their way into our hearts just a little more. Hugs to you both.

I’m so sorry to hear this news… But she’s out of all earthly pain now. I hope you find comfort in the memories you have of her very special life. It will be six weeks since I’ve said goodbye to my 18 year old dog Midas… Expect time to move very slowly… but with each day, there will be healing. Do remember to comfort your boy cat… he feels this loss too – Hugs and prayers to all of you.

How we grieve when we lose our special friends. I had to euthanize my beloved Tuxedo on the 29th of May. We just got his ashes. When he saw the needle coming he voiced a long drawn out noooo, put his head under my arm and died. I am bereft as I know you must be. I am so sorry. Look for a sign that she is with you, in all the years I have had the priviledge of being friends with other species, there has always been a sign that their soul is with us for at least a little while longer.

so sorry to hear about your special girl—I know how hard that is and the pain it causes. We had to put down our first greyhound last year, and I’m still not over it. Just remember all the funny little quirks and moments she provided you with and the joy you brought to each others’ lives.
