Just buried Buddy under a dogwood tree in the side yard.
Worst day in a very long time.
The only good is that he's not sick any more.
I'll miss him forever.
I’m sorry to hear the bad news. Loosing a fur baby sucks. We just recently lost one of ours. That booger was so old, pretty sure he’s in some paintings with Jesus.
Oh my gosh Millie I'm very sorry you had to go through that.
I've had to do exactly that too many times. I want them to rest where they lived and loved, but the burying part is very very difficult.
About the only time you'll see tears roll down my cheeks that I struggle to control.
Hang in there dear. We understand.
Very sorry for your loss. You have my condolences. Saying goodbye to a longtime friend like that is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. It is never easy.
I'm keeping my shooting date with a forum member and his wife this afternoon, I'll be grateful for the company and the distraction!
And getting my revolver back, unless they want to borrow it longer.....
@Millie I know this hurts. It sucks. Know this, the Lord needed a good mouser in Heaven. I know you did your very best to take care of him. When you feel ready look for another Buddy. Who knows God may send one you way.
Sorry for your loss Millie and immerse yourself with the shooting date and good people. I enjoy the company of my animals and the time spent learning from them helps me to pick and choose which people I can enjoy time with.
This is a scan of a card our vet sent us after I had our cat put to sleep at age 19 years and 3 months. I'm not sure I was able to speak a word after the initial conversation about the reason for my visit. I don't know why but this picture was of some comfort. I'm not sure if we get attached to the animals, or if their passing is a sign of our own mortality. In any case, I am sorry for your loss.
