well,shes gone

Vicky my great dane died 23 years ago and I still think of her almost every day and miss her! Such a sweet and kind soul she only growled twice in her life ... Never bit anyone ...

I know how you feel and wish you all the best!

Dave-

I've been where you're at, and know the pain- it doesn't seem as long ago as it has been, but I still miss that cat... Don't worry, at the right time her replacement will come along, and you will make new memories with it. I was just doing that today- bonding with the new cat while we chased a chipmunk around my laundry room...

Hang in there... Mike Z.
 
Dave, I am very sorry to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers head your way in this difficult time.
 
Very sorry to read this, Dave. I know what you're going thru, been there many times. Don't feel ashamed about sitting there in tears. It's a normal reaction that just shows how much you loved her. The best thing to do is to get yourself another furry friend asap. It will never make you forget your beloved Haley but it will help to ease the pain of losing her more than anything else. They are waiting for you outthere..

I wish you lots of strenght in this difficult time, my friend.

Dave,
I am so sorry for your loss...
The Rainbow Bridge poem has helped me in the past

My prayers are with you...

Dave, so sorry to hear of your loss. In a sad coincidence, my fiancee and I had to put down Pearl - our precious stinky little 11yr old kitty - this past Friday. Cancer. It absolutely slayed both of us having to euthanize her at such a relatively modest age. As you said, it hurts every bit as much, if not more, than the loss of some humans.

And I agree 100% with Javis: get yourself another furry buddy ASAP. We're still mourning, but already adopted a 14 week old kitten. There are so many animals out there who're deserving of a good loving home like yours. Time eventually heals all wounds. Good luck to you.
 
Really sorry to hear this Dave. I've buried too many to have another one...maybe when I get to retire I'll have a nice playful kitten.
 
All of us, at least in an emotional sense, have your back on this. I think we're better off by far to have them in our lives even to love for only a little while. Simply expressing the love we have for our pets makes us better people.

Hello Dave

We've never spoken before, but I've seen you so many times around here - kinda life and soul.

It sounds like that kitty sure had someone who really cared - she knew that (animals always do!).

So rest assured that you made her life something really special.

Take heart friend!

again..a heart felt thanks to everyone whos posted here,ive really appreciated it.im nost sure if i posted this last night or not,but we had a pet funeral home come get her little body yesterday afternoon and she will be cremated,she will be returned to me (estimated) this next monday July 1st,and will be in a black cherry wood box,with a brass plate engraved with her name on top.

today i got a call from my sisters boss,we all grew up together,he and his brother are the sons of my mom and dads best friends,,well eddies wife owns/runs a animal rescue in my area and she has arranged to get me a 4 year old female short hair "tuxedo" cat who needs a home..named Dori..no cost to me...ill go get the cat saturday...the way things work out sometimes huh?...
 
It brought tears to my eyes to read of your loss. Our animals know us and love us in a special intuitive way that humans cannot. In the last 6 years I have lost three wonderful cats and a beautiful German Shepherd. None of it was unexpected and they all had a full life but that realization doesn't make it any easier. The last thing I do each night before I go to bed is look at their pictures and say good night.

Their passing is one more valuable lesson in understanding that we get from them. You are not alone in your grief. Haley will not be forgotten every time you post.

Regards,
Obie
 
Dave,

I'm so glad you've decided to open your home to a cat in need! You have to post a picture of Dori once she gets settled and acquainted with you! Just awesome news!

Bill
 
So sorry, my sympathy and condolences. Kind regards, Mark

Great that you're getting a new cat. A new chapter has opened for you. Haley will be very much missed I am sure.
 
Daveroo, you have my sympathies in your loss of Haley. I have had similar experiences in 2012 with the losses of my 19 year old soulmate cat Amelia, and young adopted cat Claire. Both taught me that I can only love more. Took in a young grey tiger tabby cat from the local shelter in February this year -- she bopped the brim of my cap from her cage while I was looking at some younger kittens in the cage below her. I'll give Chennault some pets for Haley.
