that was sweet...sorry about your loss

I'm sorry for your loss also, and I hope that our animals will find their heaven.

Thanks Alvin. I still miss him.

Thanks Royce.

What Alvin said.

I'm sure he's eating Whiskas out of a solid gold bowl now, Carol. :-)

Thanks Red Ant and Kris

Sorry for your loss. I wish I could find the poem my vet sent me after I had to have one of my kitties put down. I only rmember the last line which read something like "I've only gone before you so I can someday show you the way."

PMS-thank you for your support. I'm good at finding information on the 'Net and I'll try to find it.

This is nice, Carol...I had a cat many years ago and when she died I was incredibly sad...I didn't write back then, wish that I had...it would have helped me deal with loss better...5's

Paul-no matter how long ago it was, losing an animal friend hurts. I had to write this because it hurt more to keep it locked in than to let it out. He passed at home, on my bed, in my arms.....

Sorry to hear it, Carol.

It sounds like you gave Bogus Khan 12 1/2 very good years. I, too, am sorry for your loss.

thanks Spaff and John.

Somehow, I missed this one yesterday...a touching pet tribute ...fives

thanks AFW.

I lost my kitties about three years ago, in weeks of each other (Nite was killed at 6 1/2 from a bullet by some sadistic @#$% on Nov. 4th, Taffy at 9 on Dec. 23rd by a car.) I miss them very much. I have written like you about the loss of my pets. May Bogus Khan rest in peace. I'm sorry about your loss.

Diddims-I'm so sorry that your lost Nite in such a horrible way. Sadistic SOB is truly on target. I also lost a kitty(Bugsy) at 4 years old when he was run over by a car. Bogus was so broken up over losing his brother that had he not had Thom and I to cover him up with love I promise you he would have grieved himself to death. I so wish that I had an e mail address of yours, I would like to send you the Rainbow Bridge Poem, The Flaming Bridge Poem, and the astonishing story of the next kitty that was guided to us 4 months to the very day and within 1 hour of Bogus' passing. My e-mail address is carol.carol@iwon.com. I hope you will check back here soon.

Why would someone shoot a cat?

because Kat, there are people in this world that are so twisted that they think it's "fun" to shoot, run over, or set a cat, dog, or any other animal on fire. Sick but true.

It is sick, Carol. And let's not get started on the superstitious freaks who still think that (black) cats are bad luck. I'm just glad that Taffy and Nite are together again and need not endure pain again (Taffy was miserable that he'd lost his cat buddy). I hope the best for them, wherever they roam now.

Diddims- thank you for checking back. I wouldn't even waste my time going there about people like that. I stumbled across the Rainbow Bridge poem when I was surfing the 'Net during my grief to see if there were any online pet memorial sites where I might leave a permant written tribute for Bogus. From the time I first found it, the Rainbow Bridge poem helped me start the healing process. It may be a real place, or it may not be. But I can say without a doubt I find it very comforting even now. I sincerely believe that you would too. It's a beautiful concept....

Awh RIP Bogus Khan and sorry for your loss carol - Ive lost precious cats in the past also 5s

Hi Was looking for something light to use in our Xmas gigs, but I'm just weeping. Thinking about my dog, Mikke. Sorry about your loss. Your words carry so much emotion and depth. I wish I could sing it, but I know I will cry and won't be able to finish the song. Nevertheless, I keep the words in my book. Cheers Chief
