Your story brought tears to my eyes. You were the most perfect mommy, don't question yourself. Keep well and so sorry x
Thank you for the kind words, they mean a lot to me during these days.
Oh Chanel- I'm crying right now.
I am so very sorry for your loss. These little guys become part of our family, they're our fur kids. We do everything we can to keep them healthy and happy.
But then that dreaded day comes, the day we all have to say goodbye... I went through this once before and understand your pain completely. Especially since it was just so sudden.
Just know that eventually the pain lessens, and you'll be able to remember the time you had together and smile.
You gave him a wonderful life and that's all that matters.
<hugs>
Thank you so much for the support and I am sorry you had to go through this before. And you are right, we do everything to make them happy. If they were happy, I was happy too.
But now, everything seems so dark....I am very grateful for the times we had together and that he was part of my life, but I miss him so much. And yes, I think it has hit me extra hard because it happened so sudden and so fast. Didn't see this coming at all. I don't have children, but my dogs are my children to me.
I also feel so sad for little Choco. Sometimes he has his happy moments, but on other moments he looks so sad. He is following me everywhere I go now. Funny thing is, in the past, he didn't care much for a walk. But that has changed 100% now. I only have to open the closet where the leash is, and he's totally cheering up. So I take him for a walk more often, that he has some distraction.
I loved reading of Max and his farts, our cat Ernie does that, too... a lot!
I am so sorry for your loss and I hope Choco will be better and feel securer soon.
We never had dogs but cats.
When one of our two died we gave two boys from the shelter a bew home so now we are living with three under our roof.
If Choco mourns too much and misses a buddy, go and search for one at your shelter again.
You wont find a second Max but for sure a new friend in need.
Take care
Thank you so much, reading about Ernie did cheer me up a little. I had no idea a cat could fart like that too.
Choco luckily ate very good today, but I can feel he misses Max. Thank you for the advice.
I really hope Choco feels better soon.
Oh I am so sorry. You gave Max the best life you could and he loved you - I completely understand the guilt that follows such a sudden loss but please don't blame yourself. It was Max's time to leave - and it doesn't matter how long they're with us, it's never long enough. Play hard up at the Bridge, Max.
{{{hugs}}}
Thank you for your lovely words,
clevercat. You hit the nail on the head, it's never long enough indeed. It's just that I didn't see this coming at all. It all happened so sudden and fast. I still have moments that I can't believe this actually happened.
While reading in the animal section today, I stumbled upon your thread. I have only read a few pages so far, but may I say what an amazing person with a golden heart you are to take care of all these cats in need. I am sure the cats that are or were part of your life, think they had found paradise. You are amazing
.
So sorry to hear about Max. I hope that you can take comfort in the wonderful memories you have of Max and realise that he was loved very much by you and his family.
Thank you so much for your support. I have many, many great memories of Max. While I write this down, my eyes tear up again. He was such an amazing dog and I am so grateful he was part of my life.
I sincerely hope you find comfort enough not to feel sad but fortunate to have the opportunity of rescuing max and share your life with him. It may take a long while... But it will eventually come.
Big big hug for you.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much and I hope so. Time will tell. I feel sadness every day, but I am very, very grateful that I had him in my life.
