Does your Cat (or any pet) misbehave since caregiving your loved one?
Have you been required to take care of your loved one's pet after they have passed? Does your pet have cute antics that entertain your loved one?
And finally, has the cat or dog transferred their loyalty to your Mother?
What a great life you gave him and a great life he gave you.
RIP Charlie.
One version of the Rainbow Bridge poem (inspired by a Norse legend)
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
A Pet's Peace
I have left you now but please don't be sad
You gave me all the love you had
You did so much for me in my time here
And I'll always hold those precious times near
I know some day you'll find love again
and into your life will come a new friend
Your heart will heal, but you'll never forget,
memories like the first time we met
Memories are wonderful, so keep them close
and remember all the good times the most
Up in the Heaven for animals is where I'll be
and some day in the future, each other we will see
I am at PEACE now so please don't be sad
You gave me all the love you had.

I'm so,so sorry for your loss.
He was so blessed to have you and your good care for so long.
That huge thunderstorm must have represented all the tears you could have cried for him and his long life.
Sorry for your loss.
As my sig other and I were leaving the clinic, a huge thunderstorm started as as we got into the car. It was all most like the weather God was crying. I know it was all coincidental, but I still had to wonder as the storm came in fast.
Now Charlie is with his litter mate Sara who had passed a year or so earlier.

My brothers lab pulled me around for an hour once. He would have kept playing if I hadn't collapsed in exhaustion.
they lasted about 3 weeks.. she has managed to rip them and pull out white stuffing already! This is a 15 lb chug,, not a 50 lb pit bull! I swear we need "toy of the month club", and I feel bad because we have to take them from her and toss them, don't want her pooping cotton balls! She is heartbroken and looks at the table where we keep her toys ( to switch them out) and just whines. We do have some Kongs, and they are great, but she loves the softer toys. Some of her older stuffed toys have held up.. I am at a loss here. Any suggestions? Her older toys are from when our DD"s 5 lb chihuahua was still playing with toys. So they are old..
Playing calming bird videos help him, and putting his cage on the floor, covering it at times helps. But allowing him to fly around free on his own schedule allows him the freedom to do what birds in the outdoors do, and that is to take flight just before the earthquakes. An early warning system to be sure, plus the dogs barking is a good warning, and all true in my experience.
MsMadge,
You do have some EQ experience!
Guess I want to know if you adopted a puppy or guard dog when at the Humane Society????
What DID MSM decide to do in 87?
🙈
do they sense something
wait,
what's that rumble?
oh, it's the street sweeper - 😂
Tgif
send, I come from a long line of quake survivors
Paternal grandma was in a building that collapsed in the 1906 SF earthquake
the Viking was roller skating and got hit by a brick in the 1933 Long Beach quake and was in the driveway that became like a wave machine and the garden wall came down in the 1987 Whittier one
cousins lived near the epicenter of the 1971 Sylmar and 1994 Northridge earthquakes
and, I had to decide whether to ride out Whittier in the shower or run outside naked
years ago, I remember being at the humane society and one of the cal tech lady seismologists was sitting with a pound puppy - she was helping keep it calm -
can you hug Tweety ?
Did you feel that?
Hey MsMadge,
Do the hoca residents notice?
Have you got your bottled water in good supply?
One gallon minimum per day for each person.
And we have some to share.
under my feet
4.1 @ 4:45 p.m.
3.0 @ 4:47 p.m.
3.3 @ 4:51 p.m.
3.6 @ 4:52 p.m.
Prior to that, I went to the computer to see if this swaying/shaking was my imagination or just dizziness, or was it all in my mind?
2.6 @ 12:50 p.m.
2.8
2.5
2.7
2.7 @ 2:42 p.m., only seconds apart.
2.5 @ 2:42 p.m.
Not a complete list, but feeling things above 2.5., even though it is 150 miles from the epicenter. Anything lower is unknown, because the download crashed my kindle.
Aw, felt that last one @ 5:50 PST. An empty water bottle crackles, and Tweety stopped chirping, churling, or chirling-a sound parakeets use to calm themselves.
Anything lower is unknown, because the overload crashed my kindle.
Hoping everyone is okay, and in Louisiana hurricanes too.
3.2 @ 4:57 p.m.
3.1 @ 5.08 p.m.
Continuing.....
Nala the cat is stopping by to support Daniel in his recovery.
She is all grown up now.
However, I have to agree it is very hard to watch them age. I have no idea what I am going to do when Sam passes away. My BF and Sam are the best buddies. My BF acts as though when Sam goes he will be ok with it...I don't believe that! Maybe I will get him a dog this time. Although at times I had wonder if Sam was a dog in a pass life. LOL Because Sam gets in bed with us and goes around in a circle 3 times before he lays down; he loves to get into the garbage can, in fact, we had to buy different ones to figure out which one can Sam not over take and make his daily mess. Ugh! And Sam loves to drink out of the toilet. We try to keep the seats down but my mother forgets.
Love your kitty they are only with us for a very short time.
I wish you and Charlie the best! 🐱
But yeah, it's sad when they get older and start to slow down. I hear ya!
That has been some really good care you have given to your elderly cat!
You will miss him when it is time.
He's been under regular Vet care for the past couple of years. Last year we started him on fluid transfusions which was started to help his kidneys. He is also taking pain meds for his arthritis, and meds for high blood pressure.
Then I need to keep telling myself that he is equal to 90 in human years. He's has had a beautiful life, crazy as all get out, silly, comical, lot of entertainment, and had a human speaking vocabulary of a dozen words.
