RIP: Fatso

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's a weird feeling to lose a friend that has been with you that long. Especially one who looked like she took up a lot of room!

 

aww, i'm sorry losing a pet is so hard.

she sure lived up to her name didn't she?

 

I am so sorry for your loss.

We know their time is so limited, but even when we know it's coming, it is still a shock.

Whoever said you can't buy love, never owned a dog....or was owned by a cat.

 

Sorry to hear of your loss. I know how what a good friend an animal can be.

So sorry to hear that. I lost a cat recently, too, and it's always amazingly rough.

 

My sincerest condolences. It's been 18 years since Leonardo died, at the age of 15, and the void he left in my life has never been filled.

 

My condolences on the loss of a truly great friend. May she rest in peace - and may you find peace as well.

 

My condolences; they truly become family...

 

I'm sorry to hear that. I still miss my Bruno so much that I use him as an avatar here.

I highly suggest going to Petloss.com (warning: cheesy embedded midi).

Agreed.

 

Oh I am so sorry you lost your beloved friend.

 

She sounds like she was a one-of-a-kind cat. It's really hard when a pet you really care about dies, and it's a weird kind of mourning since death of a pet isn't recognized as a true loss - but it is. Sorry for your loss and thanks for posting the great picture of Fatso.
Take care.

So sorry for your loss. She was so beautiful. She is waiting for you just beyond the Rainbow Bridge:

 

So sorry for your loss....
My Igor is having some problems and he has been a good friend to me-....This is one thing I just don't understand. why does God give us these wonderful friends that are with us such a short time?????

 

I can definitely feel for you - Garbo passed away 10 days ago and was twice the size in the picture below. :blink:

 

The Postal Service no one hears about (True story according to Snopes)

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4
year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she
missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when
Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her.
She dictated and I wrote:

Dear God,
Will you please take special care of our dog, Abbey? She died yesterday
and is in heaven. We miss her very much. We are happy that you let us
have her as our dog even though she got sick. I hope that you will play
with her. She liked to play with balls and swim before she got sick. I am
sending some pictures of her so that when you see her in heaven you will
know she is our special dog. But I really do miss her.

Love,
Meredith Claire
P.S. Mommy wrote the words after I told them to her.

We put that in an envelope with two pictures of Abbey, and addressed it
to God in Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith stuck
some stamps on the front (because, as she said, it may take lots of
stamps to get a letter all the way to heaven) and that afternoon I let
her drop it into the letter box at the post office.

For a few days, she would ask if God had gotten the letter yet. I told
her that I thought He had.

Yesterday there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch.
Curious, I went to look at it. It had a gold star card on the front and
said "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith took it in and opened
it.

Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers, "When a Pet Dies". Taped to the inside
front cover was the letter we had written to God, in its opened envelope
(which was marked Return to Sender: Insufficient address). On the
opposite page, one of the pictures of Abbey was taped under the words
"For Meredith"
We turned to the back cover, and there was the other picture of Abbey,
and this handwritten note on pink paper:

Dear Meredith,
I know that you will be happy to know that Abbey arrived safely and
soundly in Heaven! Having the pictures you sent to me was such a big
help. I recognized Abbey right away. You know, Meredith, she isn't sick
anymore. Her spirit is here with me--just like she stays in your
heart--young and running and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you
know.
Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets!-- so
I can't keep your beautiful letter. I am sending it to you with the
pictures so that you will have this book to keep and remember Abbey.
One of my angels is taking care of this for me. I hope the little book
helps. Thank you for the beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending
it.
What a wonderful mother you have! I picked her especially for you. I send
my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.
By the way, I am in heaven but wherever there is love, I am there also.
Love,
God and the special angel who wrote this after God told her the words.

As a parent and a pet lover, this is one of the kindest things that I've
ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, but there is some
very kind soul working in the dead letter office. Just wanted to share
this act of compassion.
