with great sadness

Dre

Sorry for your loss, them pesky fur balls some how get under our skin and into one’s heart. I told my grandson the only time a family pet causes pain is the day it leaves us and breaks our heart.

I’ve lost my share of cats and dogs, some people after losing their “friend” are so upset they never get another. I hope you find another kitten(or cat) at a shelter and you have a new beginning, it would be a dis-service to your memory of the good times Dynah offered to you.

The following poem was written on a monument for a beloved pet, a Newfoundland dog, penned by the English Lord Byron. Though composed for a dog, the words ring true for any four legged friend, at least for me.

Near this spot

Are deposited the Remains of one

Who possessed Beauty without Vanity,

Strength without Insolence,

Courage without Ferocity,

And all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.

This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery

If inscribed over human ashes,

Is but a just tribute to the Memory of

BOATSWAIN, a DOG

Awwwww. what a cute furball…sorry for your loss, Dre!

That’s gotta leave a hole, and we’ve all felt it at one time or another…hope you find solace.

Gotta add too—you sure gave her a longer life than she’d ever have had as a feral or a shelter cat. Give yourself a pat on the back… :slight_smile:

Dre, My deepest condolences to you. My wife and I have household blessed with an assortment of pets. But, I have my own cat, Sparetire, who is my best friend. He has provided me with unconditional love when I was in some very dark times and when his time comes I know that it will hit me like a ton of bricks.

Again, thank you all for your words of support and encouragement. Things are slowly returning to normal in my house as the remaining two cats adjust to the absence of their friend.

Dre buddy, just spotted this today. It was a bad spell for striped modelling assistants. We had to have “Agent 002” (aka Nutmeg) put down over the holidays, kidney failure at 8 years. The Flanker Frenzy was her last group build. I can only assume they are up there, somewhere, comparing build notes.

Ah, geez… Vance, I am so sorry for your loss. Seeing Nutmeg there is choking me up a little as she looks so much like my Dynah.

I’m going to go and have a good cry for the both of us now…

I think I did the same thing when I saw Dynah! [:(] That’s it, I’m going for a drink. It’ll be coffee though, need to return to work for the afternoon.

Sorry to hear about this. I know just how you feel. We have said goodby to a few dogs over the years. The latest being our 12 year old Lab Buddy that we lost to cancer over a year ago. I swore not to have any more dogs cuz of the short time these lovable guys are with us but I broke down and got a 4 month old Lab/Rottweiler puppy mix from a rescue place on Dec 25, so we named her Holly. They have so much love to give us.

The happiness and love that they give you far outweighs and outlasts the sorrow you feel when they are gone.

Sorry for the loss, but try to remember the good, long years you had with her.

Last year, I lost a dog I had for 12 years and I miss her everyday, but I always try to remember the good times we had, not how many time she pooped on the carpet.

sorry for your loss… I know how it can be. …
