It is at times like these when I think of the ending of Mr. Michael Joseph's book, "Charles -- The Story of a Friendship"
I shall walk in the sun alone
Whose golden light you loved:
I shall sleep alone
And, stirring, touch an empty place:
I shall write uninterrupted
(Would that your gentle paw
Could stay my moving pen just once again!)
I shall see beauty
But none to match your living grace:
I shall hear music
But not so sweet as the droning song
With which you loved me.
I shall fill my days
But I shall not, cannot forget;
Sleep soft, dear friend,
For while I live you shall not die.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your beloved companion, Pooky. May peace find your heart again soon.
Oh Pawz, I am so very, very sorry to hear this! My thoughts are with you. Pooky will be waiting for you over the bridge, and you will see her again someday.
I know your heart must ache. You have had Pooky in your family for a long time. You will never forget her, so part of her will always be with you. I wish our pets could live as long as we do, but that is not the plan. You must have had a great relationship with her. You will grieve now, but the pain will lessen, and those happy memories will be there until you see her again. God bless.
Pawz - my heart is going out to you on your loss of little Pooky. She knew that her time was here and I am thankful that her death was peaceful and her choice. I am thinking of you and hope that you are dealing Ok with this.
I am truly sorry for you and you family.
A couple of years ago I also lost my 18 year old cat to renal failure. I know how much it hurts to loose a loved companion. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I am teribly sorry to hear of the loss of Pooky. It is so sad when you lose an animal. In some ways it is harder losing an animal than it is a human. I remember one horrible wet and woolly night, there was a knock at the door with an older man standing on my porch saying he had hit a cat crossing the road and wondered who it belong to, my heart just sank, I just knew it was my beautiful Delilah. There she was laying on the footpath in the cold rain dead. I have never felt so sick to the stomach since. I really feel for you.
