I know I haven't been here in a while but

March 23, 1996 to August 19 2015. He was almost 19 1/2 years. He went peacefully today unlike Razzle in 2012. Had the vet come to me. So glad i did or Geet's would of freaked and i would have a panic attack. Geets was friendly and came out to see who it was when the vet came not knowing this was the end. I was a little upset because his veins collapsed from his disease that the vet had to poke a few times for a vein and it hurt him, but it truly let me know how sick he was. It wasn't her fault. She wanted to get into a vein instead of muscle as the sedative would work faster. It did work fast. I cried before he was gone but i stayed with him till the end. He was end stage kidney disease

I buried him at a friend's house with his favorite teddy bear. As i was bringing him to the hole the bag ripped. Thank god i had the teddy bear over him. Then on the way home i just cried and still am. I had to get rid of his bowls, cat food, food i was force feeding, etc.

He was only 8.2 lbs but he was just bones and i knew it was just going to get worse. I had been putting it off because he still had a little energy and was 8.2 lbs and not 5 lbs.

I got him when he was 5 weeks old. I'll do a memorial of him when i can stop crying. It took me a year to do Razzle's memorial cause i just couldn't do it before then. I try to remember he's not suffering any more but it's so hard. and i feel so guilty i didn't take better care of him. All those years he gave me such meaning to life.

I asked him to say hello to Razzle at Rainbow Bridge and how much i missed him and that i will met them both when i die. I asked him to come in a good dream with Razzle to know they are ok.

Your favorite chair is vacant now
No eager purrs to greet me
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me
No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say it's time for feeding
I've put away you bowls, and all
the things you won't be needing
But i will miss you little friend

For i could never measure
The happiness you brought me
The comfort and the pleasure
And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow
I'm sure there'll be a place for you
In Heaven's bright tomorrow

By Alice Chase


Goodbye

With a heavy heart and a tear in my eye
After all these years i must say goodbye
Please understand I've done all i could
It there was anything i could do, you know i would

I'm sitting right here gently rubbing your ears
While i talk to you softly trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave me I'll never forget
Especially the ones of the day we met

One last hug and one last kiss
You have no idea how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes this one last time
You tell me it's ok you know it's you time

Close your eyes now and go to sleep
I'll pray to the Angels your soul they will keep
Go in peace now my good little friend
I'll stay right here with you until the end

So with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes
Just for now my friend i must say goodbye.

Your tail is forever wrapped around my heart and your bright eyes shine forever in my mind. Every time i think of you your right here in my heart. Love you, love you always. You left paw prints on my heart and let a hole in there too that can never be filled.

Good bye my sweet little Geets

You mommy

Thank you for your beautiful post. My TC had to be PTS on Aug 19th too, and I'm trying to get it together enough to do a memorial as well. Maybe he and Geets met at the rainbow bridge & are frolicking in the grass with Razzle. :-)

What a beautiful tribute for such a wonderful companion! I cried when I read your poems, they really describe the feelings we experience during a time like this, and the tears we shed seem to be unending when we think of what we lost and how much we miss them in our lives.  My heart goes out to you, 19 1/2 years is a lifetime of love and caring, your sweet Geet will be forever held in your loving heart. RIP sweet boy, you will never be forgotten, this world will feel  empty without you!

*crying*

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. Your tribute to him made me cry. He will always know the love you gave him and know that he is healthy and playing with Razzle and they both are watching over you.

RIP sweet Geet

I'm very sorry for your loss of Geets. He had a long life filled with love and will never really be gone as long as there are people who remember him. RIP, Geets. :rbheart:

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little geets.  I think my heart goes out to you all the more because Aug.19th was my birthday and also that I lost my precious girl Tiger on July 12th. I hope when you can put together a memorial your heart will feel a little lighter; I am slowly putting together a picturebook, but it still hurts a lot. Hugs.

thanks everyone. Sorry you had the same thing happen Mary Podgorny on the same day. I hope TC and Geets went to rainbow bride together and meet Razzle to explain how things work up there and frolic with bounds of energy and health. Sorry Ruth that you lost Tiger in July. I lost my Razzle on July 25, 2012

I"m so sorry about your kitty Geets!  By the way, i LOVE black kitties. I've had 2 solid black kitties in my lifetime.  I loved the two poems you quoted; they were beautiful and so well captured the sense of loss we all feel when our beloved pets die.  Hugs to you!
