I guess Ill post here.I really thought Id be getting alittle better by now,and I guess I have. Almost 18 yrs ago I married my husband and 3 weeks after, we adopted two brother cats-Jingles and Jazz.We lost Jingles on Sept 18th this past yr and 3 months later to the day Dec 18th we lost his brother Jazz .We had a trip to Puerta Vallarta on the 20th and then there was Xmas and New Yrs.I guess now that things have settled down its really hitting home they are both gone.We dont have children so its hard to be pre-occupied with something else.
I guess Im also sort of not only mourning the loss of our cats but some how mourning the loss of the youth of my husband and me.We were young newly weds with the beginning of our whole lives in front of us,now with my two cats' deaths,I feel like our life is almost over too.We are middle aged now.I know Im being overly dramatic but my two cats were what made up the foursome that we called our family.All of our names started with J,we were the 4 "J's".I sure do miss our little family.Luckily 2 yrs ago we rescued alittle pug dog and we still have her,she sure has gotten lots of loving these last 3 months or so.

Lake, I am very sorry you've lost your longtime fur babies. It sounds as if you made a wonderful home for them. Give yourself time to grieve, but do think about about opening your home to a new cat family. You'll never be sorry.

Sympathy to you, Lake. It's tough to lose our critters. We must just keep in mind what good lives they had with us.
I'm glad you've got a little pug to love on.

Emmy...just read about your Tiny. He looks so much like my big boy who is only 130 pounds. They told me my boy was a lab, but he sure looks like Tiny. Tiny sounds and looks like a wonderful fella. My sincere sypmathy to you.

I have an idea of how you feel Lake. When my wife and I lost our first cat it was very tough. We didn't have children at the time, he was our first cat and finding him was something that we had done together which was very special. It feels like a part of your life is over.

I'm happy that you have your little pug dog to give lots of loving.

Lake, very similar to Jimmer, hubby and I found our first cat freezing on our front porch and we took him in and had him for a few years and since we have no children together (I have a grown daughter) he was our beloved boy. When he was killed by a car, we didn't think we would ever get over losing him. That's been about 7 years ago and we still miss and love him but we are very thankful that we have 2 sweet, healthy cats that have never been allowed outside so we never have to go through that again. It hurts terribly when we lose our babies.

My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a furbaby. I'm so sorry.

Spy and Lakecat, I am sorry to learn of your losses.

Spy, I feel like I've known Henry half his life through your postings at TVCH. Give Toby a little scratch behind his ear for me...and give Brayden an auntie butterfly kiss for me as well, thanks.

Oh, shit Spy. I sure understand and I am so, SO sorry.

Lakecat, I didn't think I could ever own another cat after Julio (he was to me what Henry was to Spy. And what Jazz and Jingles were to you and your husband). You'll be very surprised to learn how much room you have in your heart for the next little souls who need a home, pick you to be their parent, and love you more than any other in life. Take your time. They will find you.

Much love and healing to you both.

I appreciate the kind words of support. Yesterday was a very tough day and I still can't believe he's not going to come in the doggy door at any moment.

He had gone downhill in the last 5 months, but the last 3 weeks have been the most difficult. Truthfully, before Christmas would have been the most humane, but I wanted him to make one more trip to Texas.

I went alone with him to the vet and stayed with him during the procedure. Then...I stayed with him for a very long time after...petting him... talking to him. It was painful and healing at the same time.

He's now at peace.

{{{Spy}}} It is difficult to be with them at that time, but I wouldn't miss it, either. Tears are welling up right now, thinking of that time with Angelina, my most recent loss. And though it has been months.. still hurts.

Handsome black Mr. Lucky went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. I'd like to remember him from time to time even though he wasn't my little man. He was a real nice fellow and always a gentleman yard guest.
