We had him for 21 years, such a sweet boy. Never gave us a moment of grief until now. He passed quietly on his heating pad. He will be sorely missed forever.

My girl is 17 and has some health issues. I will be so sad when she goes, but she's had a good life, and I hope she has a few more good years.

(1,070 posts)I am certain he lived his long life partly because he received so much love from you. Our fur babies are members of our family, and it is so hard to come to terms with their loss. ((hugs)) May his memory be a blessing to you and your family.

(280 posts)I am so sorry for your loss. i just lost my Jenny which I've had for 19 years. But although she took a piece of my heart with her, she left a piece of her heart with me. Thank you so very much Montana cowboy, for the love you gave your precious gold kitty. Maybe she'll say "hello" to my sweet Jenny. Be good to her sweet Gold Kitty, Jenny's very fragile. but what a precious friend you will have. Tell her Mama misses her.

He had a good long life, and a long good life! And you certainly had something to do with it.

(36,292 posts)it can be devastating to lose someone we love
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
