Hot.
Sorry to hear the bad news, Jane
Oh dear! Losing a loved animal that was with you for so long is bad. I hope you get through the heaviest part of the grievance soon. If we can do anything, please tell us.
Thank you

Thank you. I'm working on it, it's just hard. It hurts to lose anyone you love.
I lost my dear Findus, a senior cat I adopted just five months before last july. He celebrated his 14th birthday just before, but he was already ill. At least he died in my arms, and he was free from the animal shelter which he absolutely hated. That has hit me really hard. But now I can feel glad I could give him the final hoe and the love he gladly, after some grumpiness was very grateful for. He even trolled me on a reghular basis. This was what he liked to do in the morning, if I ignored his wishes for belly-rubs:
Now I have adopted another cat. She is white and handicapped concerning her hind legs (just like me). She is really young, and she makes my days lighter
What a beautiful dog she was!! Gorgeous. So sorry about your loss.
One of the bad things about pets (maybe short of being one of those people that gets a long lived turtle), is that baring dying young or being old when you get them you are almost certain to outlive them. It's one of the reasons I don't let myself get one. I know that day is going to come, and I don't want to get attached. The other reason being I don't think I can take care of one well now and I don't want to be one of those people that doesn't take good care of a pet.
He was so handsome. I'm glad he passed with someone who loved him dearly. I would love to see a picture of your new cat.

Black Lab? I got adopted by a Black Lab several years ago. I don't know where she came from or how she managed to find my secluded house. But she was an older dog when she showed up here. I figured that she lost her home during the Great Recession and just wandered around til she got tired and hungry. You could tell that she was someone's well cared for pet. She acted like a silly puppy until her final day. She just dropped dead on New Years Day two years ago.
My original name for her was "Not My Dog". But in the end, she sure as hell was a good friend. If only people could be as pure of heart as our little four-legged friends.
My condolences. :hatsoff: I know that pain very well.
Oh, sorry to hear about your family members/pets, its so sad when we lose them they give us some much love.
Here you go
She and me were lucky to have the strong support from the volunteer workers at the anmal shelter, because as she can't walk properly, she sure can't jump THAT good, at least not up hiogh enough to get on the bed or a low sideboard. So one of the volunteers, a carpenter, made me a custom cat-stairway, so she can walk up to look out the window or go over to my bed. And after four months of shying away from letting me pet her, now she can't wait in the morning to get her extensive bellyrub
