Departed pets;

EGAR

Taylor was the first fighting Pit Bull I took in. He was with me for almost 10 years and was at least 4 when I got him. Taylor was a gentle soul with people and bigger animals but despite my best efforts I was never able to re-socialise him with other dogs. Taylor passed away today, he was much loved and the grief runs deep...

May the good earth be soft under you
when you rest upon it,
and may it rest easy over you when,
at the last, you lay out under it,
And may it rest so lightly over you
that your soul may be out
from under it quickly,
and up, and off,
And be on its way to God.

I will miss you, old boy - I hope you run free with Glor now.

Our beloved & bouncy pom passed away over the weekend, he had a bad year first early on in the year he had prostate troubles and had an operation and he recovered well but in the last few months had got a intestine bug, he fought & fought and made some recovery and we though he was on the mend but the last week or so was hard he was getting weaker & weaker and he was taken from us then, he was more than a pet to me he was my best friend & will be forever, will always love you T.

It feels silly, because she hasn't been my cat since I moved from home in 2000, but my mother's cat died today and it's so very sad.

She was a kitten when I was in my mid-teens, a bright eyed bully at feeding time and the softest couch-partner. Nudge went downhill in the last year and wasn't the same animal when we were home last.
Mom said she was drinking bowls of water, listless and off her food, which was such a shock for a champion-eater like that cat.
After she dropped a fast 3 lbs (off a cat that weighs a stone, too!) bloodwork from the vet reported it was diabetes. Since having her teeth cleaned last year, three had fallen out.
There were treatments, but mom knew they'd only prolong and not cure. If one twice-daily dose was missed the poor creature would be in pain...

Today at 11.30 am she slipped away on the vet's table with both my parents there. Mom said she didn't even soil herself... the perfect pet to the end.

She'll be missed terribly, most of all when there's no great white ball to greet us when we come in the door this Christmas

Our beloved golden lab, Cody, died today, 14 years of age, she was very sick so had to be put down, its heartbreaking, our entire family are in bits, but it would have been cruel to keep her alive for our selfish reasons! This thread helped as I found myself feeling a bit silly for crying over her death but I realise its completely normal, so thanks. Its all very sad.

My dog Abbey died just 6 weeks ago. As I write this the tears are streaming down my face. She had a heart condition and the vet told us we had just a few weeks left with her. She lasted nearly 5 years after that with endless tablets. I prayed that I would not have to get the vet to put her to sleep. She died in my arms and I feel so proud of her and the long battle she put in......

My beautiful beardie died 8 weeks ago. He was in an accident with a truck delivering. He was nearly 12, but not showing his age at all, mad as a hatter, same as when he was 12 weeks!!
I miss him terribly, the first few days were just awful. I got better then, but Christmas was terrible again - no one to share dinner with - he'd have been sniffing the over for the turkey for hours!!
After initally swearing I'd never get another, I have decided I need a dog in my life. I'm getting another dog this weekend - a rescue bearded cross.
I'll always smile and think of this darling. He was the only man in my house for many years and for the friendship and devotion, he'll always be special - he listened to all my secrets and problems and never judged!!! No matter how bad the day, being greeted at the door every evening put me in a good mood, how could you not smile in the face of unconditional devotion!!

My cat Tommy got hit by a car on Monday. He had been missing for a few days and we called round to few houses to see if anyone saw him. Turned out someone did and had moved him in off the road so other cars wouldnt go over him. The person owned cats themselves. I am heartbroken he was my little baby and il never forget him. Never thought he would ever get run over. I am worried about his brother Joey because they did everything together. I am trying to spend as much time with him as I can so he wont start fretting too much.

We have to put our little Rudolf (the one in the front) to sleep this morning. He was two years old. Now we are worried for Albin. We have to find him a freind. We would never forget the damn valentines day



Goodbye rudolf.!

My dear beloved dog died a few hours ago! Had him for 10 years. I'm in shock! I never thought the day would come at all..albeit so soon!
I'v been balling solid since it happened..he's lying in our kitchen in his basket. It's like he is asleep and will wake up any minute now!
We think he must have gotten a clip of a car (though, he never goes out to the road, he's scared of his own shadow!) and perhaps with the shock got a heart attack or something. There was just a scrap on one of his back legs, and blood coming out his mouth..other than that perfect! I arrived home from school and my dad had just removed him from the road. I ran in screaming to my mother!
Can't believe he's not going to be around anymore..and all his quirky habits..wanting to come in and lay by the fire, lying wherever the sun shone into the kitchen, sit on anybodies shoe to help his lame leg, couldnt eat infront of anyone, loved having his belly rubbed, barked when someone was at the house and would then run around the back of the house as he was scared him,going for 'walkies' and getting 'din-dins', rubbing his back off the trees out the back, running in our fields after rabbits!
We're so upset here..we'll leave him where he is tonight, he so peaceful looking, will bury him basket and all in a box tomorrow.

RIP Jack.

I found my cat Marge/Babycat dead in our neighbours front garden this morning. Have no idea what happened to her, she was fine in herself, not sick, eating well, had all her jabs, was spayed. She looked to go out last night to use the loo as usual, wouldn't come back in when I called her, which isn't unusual for her. She's spent plenty of nights out and about, often sleeps under the hedge in our neighbours garden. She was just lying there, not a mark on her, so sign of visible injury. I don't think a dog got to her because surely there'd be blood or signs of bites etc... she wasn't sick, was playing with her cat toysjust yesterday evening not a bother on her.

I suspect she ate some sort of poison, but I'll never know. Am in shock and devestated. She was only 9 months old, a lovely cat, so playful and affectionate, lovely longhaired cat, fabulous bushy tail:( Have been crying all day for her.

I have no idea how to break the news to my 3 year old daughter, she was very, very fond of Marge - was herself that named her "babycat" and the name stuck.

Crying again writing this.. am just in shock

CATWOMEN

Hi Embee,
So sorry to hear off your loss. one of my cats got killed last week molly og.
so i do understand how you feel. we do become attached to our animals,
and they do become part of our family's. But it sounds like marge/baby cat
was very well looked after by you and your daughter, so i am sure her time with you was a very happy one.
take comfort in your little daughter and give her plenty of hugs.
R.I.P MARGE /BABY CAT.

Lost my dog Piggy yesterday

So so sad.

It came on her so quick. She was stong and healthy for her age even tho she was 14 yrs old.


Last Friday she started vomiting yellow bile and not eating. Then she started lying on the cold ground to soothe her belly.

She lives at home with my mum (I live 3 hours away) so I said to Mum 'keep telling her to hold on till I get home and say goodbye'. I was going to go home this fri

Then yesterday (Wed) I was on the phone to my Mum and I heard her give the most awful yelp in the background. I knew she was in alot of pain and I was being selfish asking her to hold on, so I hept saying in my head 'You don't have to wait for me, go on, go on', and she died straight after I said that. Maybe she heard me.

Mum told me later she was lying on the floor right outside my old bedroom. I feel so sad I didnt get home to see her, and still cant believe she's gone, but im happy she's out of pain.

Im crying now loved her so much she was such a big part of my life had her since i was 10 yrs old, who's going to sunbathe with me out in the garden now?:(:(:(

Our dog Ali passed away last night after a battle with cancer.
She was only 4 years old.
We got her from PAWS and she was a very special dog.
My heart feels broken and we will really miss her.

Sammi who passed away about 4 years ago aged 19 ... and Judy who was a stray who let herself in one day (when Sammi was still alive) and never left. She was PTS just over a year ago ...

My other half's cat got knocked down last night, found him only a few minutes after it happened, was still warm

only a year old, really affectionate, would spend hours curled up next to you looking for tummy rubs,
Our other cat has spent all day today calling and looking for him, they used to go everywhere together.

It's a well lit street, wide and straight, just some f**ker who didn't give a s@#t,
We're both going to miss him.

So sad, hate seeing new posts on this thread, but unfortunately it's part of life. I'm terrified of my cats out on our roads (small narrow one) as there are a few boy racers who go way too fast up and down it.
