Just for the Record...

Post by Joe Guy »

Jojo, my faithful cat and companion (and avatar) passed away on November 21, 2020. He had lymphoma. I held him in my arms while the veterinarian put him to sleep and then gave him his final injection. He was only 13 yrs old...

Sorry for your loss, Joe.

There's going to be a lot of furry friends waiting for various people on the far side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I'm sorry for your loss. I had to put Chauncey down on Thursday (1/14) due to abdominal cancer. It's tough, his brother Charlie went in April last year and all I have left now is Simon. Since I tend to adopt among the oldest in the shelter, they only get a few years, but I try to make it a good last few years. Chauncey was about 16; they were around 13 when I got the 3 of them.

:hug: Sorry for your loss Joe, and for yours too Datsun - it’s really hard to lose our faithful and unconditionally loving furry besties. :hug:

Sorry for both your losses Joe guy and Dats.

Gonna give Jackie some extra hugs tonite.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

That's tough, you guys. Sorry for the losses but I'm sure you are grateful for having shared time with good friends

Sorry for your loss both. During Covid I'd have been totally alone and lonely without Digby and Ginger, cannot imagine life without dogs/pets.

Oh guys, I’m so very sorry. Losing our furry family members is just so hard.

They all live on with us. We've had nine cats over the last 40 years and every one of them has had his or her influence in how we live today.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Datsunaholic.

Thanks very much to each of you for your comments. It took me a while but I finally took someone's advice to post here about it. It was good advice.
