Thank you for being a friend

Bob left us this afternoon at 4.30 pm. I am sad and I miss him but I know it will pass, I am sure Alexandra our 13 month old daughter will make it easier too. I actually just reached under my desk expecting to find him per usual. The day was hard but the actual event was not as bad, one brief cry at...

Re: Does it get any easier?

I feel for your loss because we are approaching the same situation with our friend Bob. On learning the bad news on Sunday night was bad, especially for Linda, but it has gotten better through the week. We still have Bob for now but he is not the same Bob he once was. Avia, the other cat, even went ...

Preparing for the worst

It with a heavy heart that I have to say Bob, one of the furry members of our family, will likely stop his journey through time with us in a month, maybe two, and this is due to a tumor which is most likely feline oral squamous cell carcinoma. There could be a misdiagnosis but unfortunately I doubt ...
