I am very sorry to hear of your loss,,I almost lost my boxer "Max" a few weeks ago from poison...he is 10 years old on October 20,,,I feel your loss.

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 last battle cant be won

Weve had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
Would not want me to suffer so
When the time comes please let me go

Take me where my needs theyll 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 will see
It is kindness you do to me
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I have been saved

Dont grieve it should be you
Who has decided this thing to do
Weve been so close we two these years
Dont let your heart hold any tears..

Sorry to hear that...

I do know how you feel---losing a beloved animal is no different than losing any other loved one....I know exactly how you feel, lost my beautiful lab a few years ago and am still missing her...it broke my heart. Only time lessens the pain.

Sorry to hear your sad news........

I want to thank you all and Cutipie Thank you so much,those are very kind words,Scooter would like that!Always Raven {Sken:non,}

Aaaww I'm sorry to hear that Raven

I'm so sorry. I certainly know the pain of losing a dog. They are so special with such wonderful personalities. My thoughts are with you.

so sorry, they are your friends, your babies, it hurts so much, and you never, ever forget them.

Very sorry to hear of your loss.. I have an african grey and if I lost him I dont know what I'd do

To Raven and Keytone,

So sorry to hear about the loss for each of you. In a multiple critter household, such loss comes all too often. May both of you have peace and comfort in the days and weeks to come.

Sorry for your loss. It's like losing a very close member of the family and for some of us, more so.

Take care.

Raven,

When I lost my beloved cat (who had been with me for almost 18 years) last March, I made a memory book of him which included some poems that helped me deal with the grief. I hope these poems give you some comfort.

A friend sent me this:

Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you.
I loved you so,
'twas Heaven here with you.
-- Isla Paschal Richardson

This is my grief speaking:

"Requiem"
The missing piece,
Irretrievable,
Becomes my nexus,
Binding me
Inescapably.

Small moments,
Tiny rituals,
Buried in yesterday's memories
Push to the front of my consciousness,
Looming,
Demanding
Obeisance,
Remembrance,
Sentinels
Of absence.

My world
Bottoms out from under me,
And the love
That once promised so much
Lessens not the pain
That now cuts
Deeply.

Helpless,
I surrender
To tears,
Each one echoing
The silence of my grief.

Saying goodbye is never easy.
Saying the last goodbye
Never ends.
-- By Yours Truly

Very sorry to hear about your loss. I know this feeling, as I lost my 16 year old cat in March and my 7 year old cat in July. Double bummer!
