Up until the end of last year Puddy was still a playful vibrent cat but over the past couple of months his health very suddenly and rapidly took a turn for the worse. So yesterday when we took him in we where already prepared to let him go. No matter how prepared that you are it is still a very hard thing to do. Puddy was more then a pet, he was a dear friend and a member of our family and we will always love and remember him. He is gone now but we will always keep him with us in our hearts.

Sad Day
What a differense a week can make. Last Thursday I was flying high after releaseing the eagle that we had saved last year. Yesterday my heart was heavy because we had to let a member of our family go. This was Puddy. We shared our home and our lives with him for 18 years. Yesterday we let Puddy be at peace.

Aw. I'm so sorry. I have an older cat (13) and I know what a huge place they have in our lives.
My condolences.
So sorry to hear about your loss. These critters just have a way of leaving such a huge gap when they're gone. I'm glad, though, that we are able to finally help them along their paths at the end. Take care of yourselves.
Thank you everyone. This has been a hard time. Michelle and I never had any children so Puddy became our child. It was a very hard thing to do but it was even harder to watch him in the shape that he was in. I know that he has gone to a better place.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
We have only "furry children" also and have said good-bye to one cat and one dog over the years (we're still 'owned' by 1 cat and 2 dogs). Losing them is hard, but not as hard as watching them suffer. The sadness and missing them will always be there, but the happy memories will sustain you.
Thanks Ruthie
We send our condolences for the loss of your Puddy Cat :(
My wife and I don't have children either, in January of 91 we adopted Toeser from the humane society and was Blessed with his companionship for just shy of 17 years! We had to put him to sleep December 8th due to stomach/intestinal problems. There isn't a day we don't miss him though.
Again, so sorry for your loss.
Shalom

Thanks Chuck
