A sad anniversary

@debodun I know how you feel. I remember the dates I lost my pets as well. When those days roll around I try to remember all the fun times I had with them and all their silly habits and quirks.
It can't bring them back but it puts a smile on my face and makes the day a little less sad.
Gus was such a handsome cat.
I wonder what he would have thought of all the moving you have been doing? lol
 

Gus looks like he was a real sweetheart, Deb :love:
No matter how much time passes, we miss our pets like we lost them yesterday.
I hope you consider getting another cat, once you're settled in. Perhaps a senior cat.

Debodun, I share your grief. Lulu left us for Rainbow Bridge today. She had not been well for a while, today she had a fit. The vet examined her and said that her kidneys had failed. We could try this or we could try that but you can't cure old age. We have had Lulu all her life, eighteen wonderful years.
She leaves her paw prints on our hearts, she leaves Khandi and Ruby, our other two Birmans and she leaves a beautiful legacy. When our last cat died, she too was a Birman, we bought a large, four foot high, earthenware flower pot, the cat was laid to rest in that pot, then covered over. Later when the earth and potting compost had settled, we planted a rose called: "Sweet Memories." We plan to do much the same for Lulu. Farewell my little friend, your spirit is free and all your pain is gone. How I shall miss you.

i am sorry that she's gone...I lost my little Skeeter little dog....last year...I dream of him every nite...I understand the hurt and emptiness
 
I feel your pain. We lost our sweet black cat, Toby, at only 6 years old. The vet told us he had the worst case of asthma she had ever seen. He eventually couldn't breathe and we had to have him put to sleep. Gone much too soon.Toby 2.jpg
 
Thank you very much for your kind responses, it really means a lot, much appreciated.
China-Doll was the first Birman that we had and what a classy lady she was. When she left us for Rainbow Bridge, we found solace in giving her a fitting resting place.

This is China-Doll, such a serene beauty.

She's at peaceful rest in this ceramic planter.

We plan something similar for Lulu. Using the tribute that Pinky posted, (thank you) altered slightly so that it's personal to Lulu, we plan to laminate a copy of Lulu's photo, underneath which, her poem will be incorporated. Hopefully we may find a similar cat statuette.
 
Today we received a surprise greeting card from our vet. It follows on from having to ask for euthanasia for Lulu. It is the most touching tribute, sadly neither the vet nor I, can find the author. However I shall share the sympathy comments in case anyone is grieving for their beloved pet.

My eyes well up every time I read it. Oh Lulu, we so miss you.
 
That made my eyes well up also. Such a beautiful sentiment. I think I will have to reference this each time we have to put one of our fur babies to sleep.
