Smokey passed away this morning at 6:31 am.
She was 17 1/2 years old.
Smokey has been with me through everything; the girls growing up, the good times and the bad times.
She has always been there.
She was my baby.
She loved laying on the deck or under the hostas listening to classical music. I used to leave the radio play outside just for her. When she was hungry she would do little "donkey kicks" around the kitchen to get your attention.
I held her and cried till I couldn't even breathe.
I am so sorry for your loss, it is hard to loose a pet, we lost our girl almost 2 yrs ago and we still miss her. Take care of yourselves. God Bless.~Wendy
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. I know what your going through. I lost my black cat Sassy November 08..She was so part of my life for so many years..I still have a hard time at times. You are in my prayers..Lisa
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you lost your friend. It is very hard loosing a pet that has become so much a part of the family.
ReplyDeleteWarm Hugs,

I am so sorry. I can understand quite well how you feel - I lost my St. Bernard Lucy yesterday morning, we had her for 7 years, I cried all day yesterday, trying to keep my mind occupied today. If you need to talk, I totally understand what you are going through.
ReplyDeleteI'm so Sorry to hear this!
ReplyDeleteI understand since we just lost our Wheeler kitty and I posted tons of pics on my blog.
Each day it gets easier around feeding time. I'm sending Hugs!
Pets really become family don't they?
ReplyDeleteHope you cheer up soon.
so sorry to hear about your kitty. our pets are almost like our kids.
ReplyDeleteBummer. We lost our cat last fall. He was 18 or 19 years old. I can't even remember. When you love them like family, it is hard. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, sometimes pets are better than family! The unconditional love they give is priceless, and the pain trying to live without this love is agonizing. As a pet lover, I give you my sincere sympathy.
ReplyDeleteaww, I'm so sorry for your loss. She was more than a cat, she was your buddy. She was one of the family members. I'll be sending prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for the loss of your baby. Prayers and hugs for you!
ReplyDeleteOh Kim I am so sorry! Pets are like children to us!
ReplyDeleteA few months ago I lost one of our dogs- the second one in a year. I can't tell you how much I cried. The goos thing is you will always have memories- and they are priceless!
Wendy, I am so so sorry for your loss. We have had pets our whole life. As kids and now as adults with familys. It is so hard to lose a member of your family and that is what she was. I know how your heart must ache. Smokey is gone but will never ever be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry...that is such a hard thing to deal with!!! Thinking of you and saying prayers!
ReplyDeleteI am so so very sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is just awful. It was good that you were with her. I am sure she misses you as well but is waiting until one day when she sees you again. I always picture heaven for cats as a big sunny field where they can run and play or just be lazy. I'll bet there is classical music there as well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care of yourself.
