Touching story, Doug. I adopted a cat from the sister of a co-worker. Adopted the one who was slightly deformed because I was worried that nobody else would take him. Then I got married (he didn’t like my wife…and the feeling was mutual)…then our daughter was born. He disappeared later and I searched animal shelters around metro-Phoenix to find him but to no avail. My daughter is now 20 and has two orange Pomeranian dogs. I was always a “big dog” kind of guy, but you have to love a small dog that meets you at the front door every evening and jumps up (4 feet straight up) repeatedly and clearly is saying “I missed you, I love you, you’re the most important person in the world to me”

I understand, I am so sorry, we lost our Mistyrainbow several months ago and still expect her to walk into the room at any minute. Pets are a true blessing, they always love you no matter what.

I’ve recently learned the heartbreak, too, of losing a treasured family member, so I offer my condolences to your whole family. I was privileged to hold my dear, sweet, blind Sophie in her final hours as she suffered a seizure the week before Christmas. I know that when the time is right, I’ll have another, but for now, the brother (Henry–who looks exactly like Spangles) and 2 sisters she left behind are enough for me.

My heart goes out to that family.. I have done this so many times, swearing I would never get another kitty.Then I do.. Her kitty lived a long life she must have had good care.. Poor little girl..

I can understand their pain. We had to put our dog “Ruffus” down because someone in our neighborhood fed him anti-freeze. Sorry for her loss.

Heartfelt story, we understand. We lost our two long time pets in the last two years. It is tough.
