    Hi. Thanks for responding. Yes, maybe it was for the best that Sea Salt died at home with me comforting him. Sure did hurt to lose him, though, and it has been very rough on my younger daughter, who misses him terribly. Castiel has been a blessing to us, and especially to my husband, who is actually more of a dog person. I am attempting to download my pictures from our thumb drive, so hopefully I will have pictures soon!

        @onguard Jaxson and Cracker Jack – what fun names. I am sorry for your losses and hope you are doing alright? Please tell us about them and share pictures.

        @mcfadden Hi Susan. Please tell us about Comet: what type of pet was Comet? How long were you together? How did you meet? May we see some photos? How are you doing, Susan?

        • Comet was my 14year old Bichon Frise. He was a puppy mill 5 month old survivor.Please end PUPPY MILLS.
            • Susan, I am sorry Comet is physically gone, but know he lives in your heart and memories. Many states are legislating puppy mills and you might want to contact your representatives to become active in those efforts. let us know what you find out, and please let us know how you are doing. Do you have other pets now?
                • My 3 year female orange cat went through hoarders and the couple were arrested as many cats were found deceased . Snoozy is a survivor and I love this beautiful orange eyed cat.

              @silvia Hello Silvia. Welcome to our caring community. We’d love to hear about your pets, and see pictures if you like. Are you doing okay?

            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 5 months ago

              1. Your cats have the best names.
              2. Do you think it was a kindness to Sea Salt that he didn’t have to suffer the ailments the vet identified? Of course it is shocking for you, and traumatic, but it sounds as if he didn’t linger and suffer.
              I am truly sorry and sad for your parting. Castiel will bring you joy and love, not to replace Sea Salt, but to add to making new memories. We look forward to photos and stories. Please let us know how you are doing. Hugs

                    I used to watch Supernatural! That’s a great name, and meaning.

                      Our cat, Sea Salt, died in April. He died right in the room with me. I had just taken him to the vet, who told me of some concerning conditions Sea Salt had, but he (Sea Salt) got sick and died so quickly we didn’t even have time to get him to the vet again. :<

                            • How are you doing now, Virginia? Feeling a little better?
                                • We still miss him, but we hope to rescue another kitty. We can never replace the cats we have had, but there are other kitties that need homes. Still working on downloading a picture of him. Thanks for asking about me.

                                    • No animal replaces another, true, but you are right about opening your heart and home to new joys and love. It has to be in your time, when you are ready. It’s lovely of you to give a happy life to more. Let us know when you adopt and we can all share in your fun!

                                  @Cody – sorry for being late in responding. We just got a new computer and are in the process of downloading pictures to it. As soon as I can find one, I will send a picture.

                                    He is a gray tabby cat. He is named Castiel for a character in my older daughter’s favorite show, Supernatural. Castiel is an angel.

                                        It’s a place in my yard where I can go and reflect on the good times I shared with my cats. I plant catnip that I know they loved and just talk to them.

                                          @wborom Wilenna, Please tell us about Lola. What kind of pet was she? How did you meet? How long were you together? How are you doing?

                                              Memorial gardens are a comforting way to remember your furrbabies. I have one in my back yard.

                                                    That’s what we love to see, Tay! What a magnificent job you all are doing for little Ryuu. I must give a lot of credit to the other cat (who is that?) taking care of him, plus taking a pretty good swipe from him:-). Please share what you learn from the vet so we can all benefit. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this with us. We’re all excited to follow his progress. Toni

                                                      Ryuu Update! He\’s gaining weight! In the most recent photo, he is at 365g. So happy about that. His eye is also clearing up. We were worried about him losing his sight in his left eye but things seem to be better. My sister will be taking him to the vet again this Friday to get a better understanding of what\’s going on with that but he is doing well and is running around exploring more!
                                                      Another big accomplishment is he\’s using the litter box now! It amazes me how quickly a kitten can pick up on it as well.

She knew me so well as I did her. Don’t let people tell you that you lost just a pet. They are not pets They are family. As you children. My condolences.
