Loungers' Pets

[Inky]

Oh LD, I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts are with you today.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I am sorry for your loss, Lady Day. I recently lost my beloved pet as well.

 

[Canadave]

What a cutie. Sorry, Lady Day.

 

[Foofoogal]

Very sorry for your loss LD.

 

[Smuterella]

I'm so sorry to hear that, its such a heartbreak. I've found myself worrying about how I'll handle my chaps going already. My thoughts are with you too. xxx

I've been the same with every cat with whom I've lived. Still miss our first, and he's gone eighteen years next Easter.... Never easy to lose a critter about whom you care.

It's a sad fact that our beloved Furry Friends have a much shorter life span then we do and a person who is a animal lover is going to go through this heartbreak many times in their life time.
I've known people who refuse to get another pet because the loss of a previous pet was too painful to be repeated.
I've had my share of pets over my 50 + years, personnel pets, family pets.
It's always painful when they pass on, I like to think I honor their memories buy adopting a new Friend.
My current Cat Samantha I've had since she was 6 months old and I'll have had her 15 years in November, longer then any pet I've ever had.
She's starting to slow down and I'll probably outlive her too and that's painful to even think about as she has been a joy to be around.
If I do out live her I'll honor her memory by adopting a new friend, I'm at that age where I have to think about providing for them if something happens to me.

Well said cooncatbob.
Condolences to you Lady Day on the loss of your Georgia.

Here are my two kids...

Joey (He is really Joe Strummer, named after the clash frontman, but he is soo cute that he became Joey) is a GoldenDoodle and the best dog ever. He is very smart, gentle, fun and intuitive. He's a K9 Good Citizen and visits nursing homes and hospitals. We take him everywhere we go: sailing, shopping, out to eat, etc. We once walked into a restaurant for lunch (a place we frequent) and a new employee greated us at the door with "Sorry sir, no dogs allowed." The rest of the employees came oever and said "No, it's OK! That's Joey!" He either lays under the table or sits in a chair, like a person, while we eat.

I'm so, so sorry, LD. It is incredibly painful. I had to put my beloved Charlie Brown (a Border Collie mix) down two years ago and I still am not over it.

 

[Puzzicato]

Very well said Cooncatbob!

I am very sorry for all the Loungers who are grieving for their pets. I cannot even remember life before Urchin (only 18 months ago!) but I remember the pain of the loss of every one who came before.

 

[cooncatbob]

The best cure for the loss of a friend is to adopt a new friend.
A new kitten or puppy can bring a new joy into your life, so can adopting a grown dog or cat.
Samantha my Maine Coon has never been a lap cat but she loves me in her own catty way, her predecessor Meme absolutely adored her Papa and would sit in my lap for hours while we watched TV.
When I'd start to get up she'd jump from my lap and when I returned she'd return to either my lap or the space between my leg and the arm of the chair where she could receive head scratches and pets.
Sometimes I wish Samantha was more like Meme I realize she's her own cat with many lovable traits of her own.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Ladyday, sincerest condolences and warmest regards x

 

[Foofoogal]

Our boss Elsa. She came with our home when we bought it. lol

My Samantha is now 16 so I am always conscious of the fact that she is not going to be around forever. Her a ten year old cat (TC) and a five month old cat (Blackie) make up a fair part of the family.

 

[AdrianLvsRocky]

Very sorry to hear of your loss Lady Day.

I lost my girl last May and I still get the occassional prickle of tears when I think of her.

It's a heartbreaking experience.

[Lady Day]

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. She got really sick really fast, seemed on the mend for a couple of days, then gone in a matter of minutes. It was tough watching my beloved take her last breath.

And when I feel up to it, Ill get another best friend, just like I did when I first got her 8 years ago.
