I just had to put down one of my oldest friends. Elric had bone marrow cancer of some kind. I am really sad, even though I suspected that he wasn't going to be ok when we took him to the vet so sick. He just kept losing weight, no matter what i did. Poor baby was so sick It's so hard to lose our fur babies

Oh Annika!

I am so sorry to hear that Elric didn't make it. I know you suspected this was going to be the result, but it is so hard to say goodbye to a companion of 14 years. I feel sad for you and your loss. I hope memories of him help to ease this time a little for you. I am thinking big hugs to you today! *hugs*

So sorry for your loss. Kitties are so precious. We have three now and I know how attached one can become to them.

Oh, Annika, you've had such a trying time of it all....I'm so sorry that you've lost a friend. Such a terrible illness though, I'm glad the kitty is not sick anymore, but I'm so sorry for you.

Annika,

Thanks for letting us know about Elric; I hope your good memories will help you smile through the tears. Anyone who has lost a pet knows how you feel. That little guy had 14 good years, though.

Hugs,

Jo

Poor kitty, it is always so hard to lose those sweet old catbabies. Wasn't he lucky to have all that time with you? We had a little kitty last year who turned out to have FIP, and he just got so weak,we had to have him put to sleep. It was so hard. These little beings capture our hearts, Karin

Ohh, big hugs Annika. It's amazing the bond we have with even the tiniest creatures...and I know you were blessed to have Elric and he was blessed to have you. I know it's sooo hard for you right now, but I am sure the happier memories will carry you through.

(((HUGS))) all around Annika. No matter how long we have animals it's never easy when one leaves us. I'm holding my breath with our choco lab right now. We got her 11 years ago and the rescue told us she was 3+ at that time.

Thank you girls for being so kind and sympathetic. El was my baby. I bottle fed him as an abandoned kitten, so this hit me pretty hard even though I knew he was old and wouldn't be with me forever. I have years of wonderful memories of him even though I'm still dealing with the loss of him. Thank you all very much for caring, what wonderful women you all are

I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend. It is just so sad when they must leave us, but I strongly believe that when we get to the gates of heaven our four-legged friends and companions will be there waiting for us with wagging tails and long last contented purrs.

I lost two of my cats 21 and 22 due to old age. I have so many wonderful memories of them. When I had my hysterectomy, the doctor told Steve to keep them away from me when I first came home from the hospital. He thought one might jump on the bed and land on my stomach. They cried, and cried and I finally told Steve to let them out of the kitchen.

They both ran to the bedroom and gently jumped onto the bed and came over to me and I had one on each side of me. They never hurt me and stayed close to me till they saw I was okay.

For My Human Friend

A door called death has closed between us
for the moment.
But could a little thing like that break the bond
of love and understanding between us
who have been so close?
Of course not.
Having left behind the body that no longer served me,
I can be with you always and everywhere.
On long, delicious walks,
At quiet times
and lively times.
Alone,
Among friends new and old.
Let my excitement with life still brighten your days.
As long as there is a place in your heart which is the shape of me,
I will be with you.
One day, you, too, will come through the door,
and we will be together in glorious ways
we have yet to understand.


Alexandra Day

with much love from Patricia
