Saying Goodbye

We said goodbye to Tino, our beloved cat of 15 years, Saturday morning. He let us know on Friday that it was time, and Brenda, our vet, came to the house early Saturday morning. We are incredibly sad, but thankful that Tino has now crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is no longer in pain. I told him to chase butterflies and eat as much chicken as he wants, and he thought that was a good idea. Our household won’t be the same without him, but…as Freddy Mercury once sang, “Who wants to live forever?” We had a great life with our little mister, and now he’s moved on to his next adventure.

We finally have beautiful sunshine. I hope everyone is enjoying summer weather this week.

Rest in peace, dear sweet Valentine, we love you!

I'm very sorry Ingrid. It's never easy to lose a furry family member.

I haven't responded to this yet because it bothers me too much when a beloved pet dies. My Baby is seven years old and just barely starting to show her age. Cats are fluffy and wonderful and turn into a world on their own, and all I can do is offer virtual hugs and say that Tino was a very, very spoiled kitty.

And Baby sends grouchy old diva kitty cuddles.

Thanks to both of you for your kind comments on our sweet Tino. And thanks to Baby's grouchy cuddles too!
