Hey Everyone... I won't be on long. To be honest, I almost didn't come on at all. A week ago today, I had to put one of my kids to sleep and I am still having a very hard time with it. He was my 15 year old baby and his name is Percy. I had to do it because he had cancer... but last week was just horrible. We are having him cremated and want to spread his ashes somewhere... we haven't decided where yet. He was my baby and I miss him terribly.... I don't have human kids... I have my furkids and my sweet African Dwarf frog... Edith. So, to be honest, my heart hurts and I just don't feel like blogging much. I wanted to come on and say hi and that I appreciate the comments you've left me and I will check in with everyone later. I know some people don't understand the pet thing and that's ok.... they just don't know what they're missing.. and they aren't pets to me, they are my children. I raised him on a bottle and cleaned up after him and he was wonderful to me and my Hubby. What kind of price can you put on that? None.
Please forgive me for not getting back to you sooner. I'll try to comment on everyone's blog later. Hugs to you all, Cecil

Oh Cecil, I am so sorry. I've had pets my entire life, and I live with two cats now that I truly cannot imagine living without. I feel like they are a part of me. I know there are some people who don't understand the incredibly powerful bond that exists between us and our beloved pets, but I certainly do. I think that losing a pet is so incredibly painful because all we feel towards our pets is unconditional love. It's not complicated love, like love between people is. We just love them terribly and when they are no longer with us it's so sad that it can feel physically painful. I have been there. I know how you are feeling. And I am so, so sorry.
I am thinking of you and praying for you tonight. And I'm thankful you got to spend so many years with Percy.
Love,
Sammy
Sorry about Percy..I'm glad I go tot see him and "sneeze" at him the day before....too bad he didn't like me though...I liked him! lol
Thanks for yesterday and today... Love you!

I'm sorry Winky.
I know you loved Percy. I know how hard it is to have one put to sleep too. I still miss Spaz and Sugarfoot too. It was hard on Mom to give me Sugarfoot and watch me bring her home.
I wish there was something I could do.But Mom, Sugarfoot, Charlie, and Percy will be waiting for you. Iknow God and Mom will take good care of him and them.
Bless you and I love you Sister.

I am so sorry to hear about Percy. I have 8 little chests of ashes on my mantle, and they are all going to go in with me when I go someday. I lost my Simon when he was just a little over 8 months old. His pic is on my blog. That about killed me...had to have him put to sleep on Christmas Eve morning at that! I had raised him from Day 1 on a bottle. He knew his name and would come just a-running when I called him. I lost him to kidney disease. It is so hard to lose one....mine are like children to me, too. And I have to go through this 33 more times yet!!! I just tell myself that they had a better life with me than they would have had on the streets. That gives me a little inner peace.
My daughter is going through both of her cats having cancer. One had 19 radiation treatments and is cured at present, and the other one had his first chemo treatment yesterday. I have posted about all of them under PETS on my blog, and a new post just tonight about Buster.
My son's 17-year old cat also had cancer of the mouth and in her nasal cavity. She had just 5 radiation treatments, and her tumor is gone! We don't know for how long, but for now she is doing quite well. I lost Simon to kidney disease.
Just remember, Percy is at peace now and no longer suffering with the pain. I will remember you in my prayers and also Percy. Extra hugs for you!!!!

Dear Cecil,
I completely understand. My babies were my children. Harvey and Oliver couldn't have been any more mine than if I had given birth to them myself.
I know the pain you are feeling. Please know that you are in my prayers.

Bless your heart. My prayers are with you.
I am so sorry about Percy. I would be so sad if I lost my Annie (who is like our baby). I absolutely understand the bond with a pet and feel so sad for you. Hope you feel better soon.
