Sad day

[Pookie]

Oh no, I am so sorry. This is so hard, our paws and our hearts are with you.

Condolences to you Thomas .....Even though you know that what you had to do was the best thing, you still miss their little hairy faces don't you? Big hug to you!

[h=1][/h] A Cats Prayer

If it should be, that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then, you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
Don't let your grief stay your hand,
For this day more than the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many years,
What is to come can hold no fear.
You'd not want me to suffer, so
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me to the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you'll see it is a kindness you do for me
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Don't grieve it should be you who this thing decides to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold tears.
SMILE, FOR WE WALKED TOGETHER FOR AWHILE.

Thank all for the kind words and thoughts. The vet and the staff there at the animal clinic are just super, very kind and caring. Onyx is care free now, and without pain or discomfort.

I was talking with my daughter, she said that Onyx is frolicking with her cat Jezzabell, who passed several years ago. I mentioned that they are probably enjoying shrimp cocktails(sounds like a cat drink, eh?). By-the-way, here's Jezzabell- being bearhugged and mauled by my granddaughter:

My vet and his staff are very kind when it comes to that too Tn, it really does help. Touching when they send a sympathy card in the mail after you say goodbye to a beloved furkid. Sweet pic of your granddaughter and Jezzabell, nice to know Onyx has a friend for company. :love_heart:

may your precious Onyx rest well in eternal peace.
