A Very Sad Day

[allaboutshooting]

Thank you all so much. Doris and I still find ourselves looking at places where he'd sit and it's very hard not to call his name when we come home. He was a very good guy.

Thanks again,
Clark

 I've had prob close to 100 dogs, it never ever gets easy. They (animals)do become part of our lives. Sorry for your loss brother

Clark, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We had a cat, Buttons, who got run over back in June, and I still find myself thinking of him almost every day. Each animal, like humans, has a different personality, and his was a mixture of "naughty and nice".  Our oldest cat, Patches, is now at least 17, and, more likely 18, and is in failing health. It will hurt when she passes, but when you know it is coming, it seems somehow different. When you lose one unexpectedly, like Harley, it is a shock.

You call can't know how much I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you,
Clark

sorry to hear about your loss, we can relate, we got the kids a kitten when they were little, they named her and played with her all the time. The kids are grown and gone, the cat is still here, she is like one of the kids around here, she is between 17 and 19 and failing in health, and I'm going to miss her when she is gone.

Sorry for you and Doris, Clark.

Really sorry to hear about that. I had two cats that were part of the family for 20 years before I had to put them down. Very sad day, indeed.

Man, that's sad Clark. I had a chocolate lab named Lilly. She was my "dog child." Lost her to cancer a year ago last April. Still tear up thinking about her...The only comfort I could offer is think about all the joy that cat gave you...It's so painful to lose them but if you weigh the joy against the pain, the joy wins out...A friend who you would NEVER imagine to be an animal person holds each new cat or dog and says to them, "Someday you're going to break my heart..." You know, when you meet them that you'll likely have to say goodbye to them before they say goodbye to you...Just the way it is. That said, my heart goes out to you. I hope when you think of that kitty, you'll remember all the joy and the sorrow will fade...

Thank you all. It's been 3 weeks. Doris and I still look for him and expect him to be in the next room. We watching t.v. tonight and a door bell rang. Whenever that happened, his ears would perk up and he'd look at the door to see who was there. Just those little memories. He was just a great cat.

Again, thank you so much for all of the kind words. We both appreciate them.

Feeling sorry for your loss. The hurt lets up in time, but we don't forget.

So true. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss Clark.  I'm a cat person also.  I had to have our oldest cat put to sleep a couple of yrs. ago due to her having cancer and I wept like a baby.  Pets are just as much family as our kids, our spouses, etc.
