EAA UWO Dorm Room (Air Conditioned) For Sale

We have always had two cats during our married lives (35 years).
Yesterday I had to put our 20 year old cat to sleep. She was in severe
renal failure. I could hardly talk to the vet when I brought her in and
sat in the exam room for several minutes with the cat before I could
leave. Pets become part of the family.

Great post Jim.

We have a 16 year old male toy poodle ...with 6 teeth! He's 97.5% deaf -
so we're the dog owners in our neighborhood always yelling at our pet. g

I was with you up until this part:

"Animals remember short term events, they learn through conditioning,
they do not remember yesterday, last week, last month, last year per say."

Animals maybe, but I think dogs 'know' things and remember things. After
raising kids you begin to realize that a two year old is just a small
four year old - without a vocabulary. Dogs fall into that category -
limited language skills. They mostly say it with their eyes. :-)

Coalie was named by the nieces when they were four. He was black like
coal. Might have been something they saw in a book? The girls are now
sophomores in college.

Yes, they do become part of the family, and I feel your loss deeply.

I'm not offering advice, but my way of grieving is to share that grief with
new life...be it puppy or kitten. Somehow the hurt isn't quite so
omnipresent when you are cleaning up puppy poop all day {;-)

Ross,

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sure you gave her a wonderful
life. She appreciated it. You might want to checkout:

Especially, the stuff about the Rainbow Bridge. I hope you feel better
soon.
