((((((((((Sea & Citrus)))))))))) So terribly sorry to hear about ((((((((((Angelina and Chloe)))))))))... I DO share your pain, I've been there. No matter what non-pet-lovers say, these sweeties ARE our babies. And it's tremendously wrenching when they go, and especially if we have to bravely make those decisions on their behalf. So painful for us, yet so loving for them, to let them go unselfishly because its what's most merciful for them.

Citrus, I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm home pretty sick today, and happened upon this thread. I wish there was something to say or do to help ease the pain. I will be thinking of you today. Love Jane Sea, I'm sorry to read of your loss. Our babies bring us so much joy, and it's just the hardest thing to let them go. Take care!

Sea and Citrus: What truly heartbreaking losses. I am so very sorry. I believe with all my heart and soul that both Chloe and Angelina were both restored to their prime as they crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I'm pretty sure also that my Trinket and Bridgette were both there to welcome them.

So sorry for your loss, Citrus, for I know you tried. Chloe will be running and jumping like a pup now. (((Citrus)))

{{{{Sea}}}} As others have said, you gave Angelina such a gift of life the last two years. And although it was against all logic, its obvious you were meant to be together. {{{{CCGAL}}}} You gave Chloe just the amount of fight she needed. And I know she appreciated the effort. I know there are several special TVCH furry friends who were at the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge to greet Chloe and Angelina welcome them into their new pain free world.

{{{Citrus}}}, I'll say it again here, with more tears running and Critter purring in my lap, it does help just a little and I do know your pain. Looking at Chloe's sweet face does bring me back to three sweet black lab faces and three decision days in my past. Incredibly sweet dogs they are. I'm blown away with such wonderful responses. I know I made the right decision, but the pain is still very fresh. Last night I really dreaded going upstairs, where Angelina had her own room and it is still full of reminders, pillows, throws, cushions, all her stuff, many toys, catnip, her much loved and used cardboard scratchers... The whole time Angelina was with me a small lamp remained turned on in that room, the shade was heavy but it just gave her some light. Last night, before I went to bed, I turned off that light for the first time. I know she's in a place of light, now. Yes there certainly are very special friends there, I'm sure of that.

Thank you all for your notes regarding Chloe. I am physically and emotionally exhausted. Just when I think I have no more tears left, they come again. I can only pray that it gets a little better day by day and I know your thoughts and prayers will help.

Oh, man I am so sorry Seamonkey and CCG!! Your furbabies were so lucky to have you and vice-versa. Seamonkey, I'll bet even Critter is going to miss Angelina's sweet little face.

April 15th was my beloved cat Liz's birthday, and she spent an incredible twenty years with me. Oh my, I can't describe how much I loved that cat. She was born in 1985, so this May will mark two years since she passed away. In honor of what would have been her 22nd birthday, I'm posting a picture of a sweatshirt I had made while she was alive:

Sia, what a wonderful drawing of your Liz. She looks much like my Critter and that's a very good thing IMO. Citrus, lots of tears in Orange County today, it hits me and then hits again.

(((Sea and Citrus))) I am so sorry for your losses. Anyone who has had a pet knows what you are going through. Both of you did all that you could and made the right decision as hard as it was. It's never easy. I cry along with you. (((Sia and Liz)))

Here's a picture of the real Liz. She is glaring at me for putting her into a tie-dyed t-shirt that I bought for my baby niece. She had to model it for me before I mailed the shirt to Germany! Thanks, Seamonkey. That drawing of Liz was airbrushed on a sweatshirt at a mall in Columbus by a guy at the t-shirt shop; he used a photo of Liz that I provided, but she looks kind of mad in the artist's rendering. She was my best buddy and she slept in my arms every night for twenty years--except for the couple of years while I breastfed my two human kids. She took a "back seat," so to speak, and slept at the foot of the bed for the long months when my kiddos wanted to be in my bed, even after they were weaned. Heck, what am I talking about? They BOTH slept with me about a week ago, and they're ten and eight years old! I guess they haven't totally stopped wanting to sleep in my bed. Again, hugs and love to anyone who has lost a beloved pet. I miss you, Liz, and I wish you could have lived for twenty years. You were the best cat I've ever had and no matter how long I live and how many more cats share my life with me, you'll forever hold the absolute TOP spot in my heart. She's been gone for two years, and I'm still crying over her. What a great cat. What memories. You all have no idea the life-changing events that she saw me through. Liz knew all my secrets, all my shameful deeds, and never judged me. She loved me through my bad moods, bad hair years, depressed periods, and even when I was mad at her. If there is really a heaven after I leave this earth, I hope and pray that Liz is there and waiting for me. It wouldn't really be heaven without her.

Citrus I am so sorry to hear about Chloe. It hurts so much to not have them with you. It will take a little time until the pain isn't so raw but then you will be able to remember all the sweet times you and Chloe shared.

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss, Sea. I loved reading your tales about Angelina and Critter. It's never an easy decision and when the time comes, we know it's best for them, but we know how empty our hearts will be. Citrus - I'm so sorry for your loss, too. I just feel so incredibly sad knowing both of you are going through the ache of losing your beloved fur babies. Sia - Liz was a beautiful cat and I know how much you must still miss her because I miss Jade after 4 yrs and often mistakenly call Misha, Jade. I did it just the other day. Often times I catch myself before I say it, but not always. It just shows what an incredible role they play in our lives and how they are so much part of our families. May they all be playing happily over the Rainbow Bridge and with other loved ones who have passed.
