Daveroo, I'm sorry you are going through this. I know it will sound very cliché, but you must know that you did all you could for her. You had seventeen wonderful years together, and I'm sure you must have tons of memories of your time together. I mourn with you as I have been through it too... They become a part of us, and as long as she is in your heart, she isn't really gone. She will live on as a part of you.. I pray the Lord will grant you peace, and ease the pain you are feeling..

Dave, so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. It's been 5 years since we lost Whitey the cat and I still catch a glimpse of him from time to time out of the corner of my
eye and then he's gone. I think they drop in to see us from time to time, just to let us know they are still with us in spirit. Haley will never leave your heart.
 
Sorry to hear this.
We had to put Katie, our 10 year old Tortie, to sleep two weeks ago. She was 8 when we got her from the shelter.
Everything seemed fine up until the day she quit eating, turned out she had a large mass that was discovered with a "Catscan".
Most people who take a cat from the shelter will pick a young kitten, many older cats remain at the shelter for a very long time.

We take comfort in knowing that the last two years of her life were very happy ones for all of us.

I remember when I was a little girl, we lost our Yellow Labrador Lucy. She'd been the best friend a kid could have... faithful, doting, caring, and one of the family. The day she was put to sleep, my sister and I had been shunted off to watch tv to distract us. To this day, 15 years later, I still can't watch the Jungle Book... Too many memories of that day. Losing a pet, is doubly hard, because not only ate they a member of the family, but they depend on you, and it feels as though you let them down. Its inescapable, but you can only remember the good times and that their suffering is over.

*hugs*

Daveroo,

I pass along my deepest sympathies. They really do become members of the family, and when you have to make that decision, it hurts. Everyone else in this thread has echoed my other sentiments, so the best I can say is cherish the good memories and keep your chin up. God bless.

CLOUSER "..God How I hate that word. Its .not for caring ,loving people..And will not be for you!

never forget her.
 
Sorry to here of your loss Daveroo, nothing more I can say that will help really
but our thoughts are with you and if you need to talk we are here.

I am so very sorry to hear this, even though it was more or less expected - it's still heartbreaking when it does occur. My deepest sympathies to you for your little friend's passing.
 
Standing with you at your time of great sadness my dear friend. I hope peace comes to you soon.

Graham Sullivan.
 
Sorry for your loss Dave. I know it hurts, been there myself a number of times and back in February of this year. You're in my thoughts and prayers Sir..... :engel016:
 
So sorry to hear about your loss, Dave. I have a thirteen year old gray tiger-stripe and fawn coloured tabby named Molly, who, when I brought her home from the shelter, was small enough to fit in the palm of one hand. Has the softest fur of any cat I've ever known or touched; more like rabbit fur than anything else. But she's getting on now, moving slower, pauses and thinks whether she can jump the 2-foot gap from my bed to my desk. She's been very healthy so far, but I know the day is coming when she'll be gone...and I hate that.

Dave, you have my sincere condolences on the loss of Ms. Haley. Our dog Joker has been gone for over a year now and we still miss him, as I'm sure we always will. Hang in there.
