Came home Friday.

Walked in the door.

Saw my 16 year old cat lying on the floor.

Cancer got him.

He died during the day.

Sucks.

Used to sleep on my chest.

Been through a lot with that little guy.

Bye, Sam.

i am sorry. :( it is never easy to lose a pet. they can become such a part of the family. still, at 16, he led a long life and i am sure he was very happy all the time you had him.

Jefe,

I can tell your heart measures up to the rest of you. You have my sympathies. You know that, though.

Love ya,

Sorry Hat,
My cat has been with me for 15 years, so I know where you are coming from. Malicious can tell you that I am a big bear of a man and I will cry a river of tears when it is my cat's day to go.

If you believe in the 'rainbow bridge' then he's waiting there for you.

Be well,
H

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

I applaud the cat though, he has lived as long as I have, which for a cat, is quite the feat. Sorry to hear about that Badger.

I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know what to say to make it easier, because I don't think anything can. We're here if you need us.

I spent hours playing with Lady today. She is Jake's sister's spaniel and so much like my Lady it hurts. I miss her. She was a good dog. She was my friend. I loved her.

You loved Sam. You had sixteen years wonderful years with him. Cherish those memories.

I'm a dog-person myself, but I know what you're going through. This might help, dunno-

“The Power of the Dog”
Rudyard Kipling

--------------------------------------------------

THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie—
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find—it’s your own affair—
But . . . you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve.
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long—
So why in—Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

I'm so sorry. It is hardest losing those creatures that give us unconditional love. I lost my old ferret two years ago and I still miss her. Remember the good times and the good life Sam had with you. I'm sure he couldn't have asked for a better human to spend his time here with.

Packer fans welcome.
All others tolerated.
