Mishi's across the Bridge

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Godspeed Mishi

I am a little late, was at work then my ISP was running like molasses..

I am so sorry you lost Mishi and you will miss him for a long time. We never forget our RB babies, they stay with us forever....

The vet's office called me late Saturday to let me know his ashes were back. I picked them up today, just in time for the Rainbow Bridge Monday Night Candle Ceremony tonight. I missed it last week because a friend was in from out of town - I was really torn between going to dinner with my friend or begging off for Mishi's memorial. He's a former BF and is always supportive, so I went out to dinner.

I AM a bit miffed with Pet's Rest as they got Mishi's Date of Death wrong! I am going to contact them to see if they will issue a new certificate for me to affix to the beautiful little box. Mishi's box is smaller than Goldie's however his is more elegant - it's stained a lovely cherry color and has a golden lock on it.

All in all, we're doing okay. Mitzi misses her brother and is meowing a lot more, demanding affection, snuggling more, and being more playful. I'm toying with the idea of getting her another kitty partner. I tried contacting KAK's pet psychic to see if I could get a reading as to whether or not Mitzi misses Mishi or wants a new partner, however she's going on vacation for 10 days and then said she has a backlog of "several weeks" after she returns. I'm not sure I can wait that long - Mitzi is being very cute - bordering on annoying :rolleyes: I worry about her being lonely.

A friend who does cat rescues has an orange Maine Coon. I'm just waiting for pictures and time to meet him/her - I don't even know the sex yet! As is always the case with cats, the right one will pick us. I just have to be patient.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and caring over the past several months. I still miss my Big Goon - he left big paw prints on my heart. I'm so glad Sirrahbed gave me that box to keep Mishi's whiskers in. I added some of his fur too and it sits on my dresser. RIP sweet Mishi my golden prince, till we meet again.

EDIT: Right after we finished the Monday Night Candle Ceremony at the Rainbow Bridge site, I received an e-mail from Nancy, the pet psychic. She said my cats were very easy to read and we made an appointment for tomorrow night.

It's been a very spiritual evening; even Mitzi knew we were doing something special when the Candle Ceremony started. She meowed at all the candles and then sat quietly while I cried and read the prayers out loud to her as they scrolled across the screen. We had Mishi's ashes and his little whisker box out too. This evening has helped to bring some closure, although my heart still grieves for our golden boy. Rest in peace my sweet boybee.

What a sweet and touching goodbye to a beloved friend. My deepest sympathy to you and Mitzi. They do indeed leave paw prints in our hearts, don't they.

Rest in peace, cherished boy.

It was a sad reminder for me of what a beautiful boybee he was. I wanted the last pic in the album to be the one I took with my cell phone, but Photobucket put it at the beginning and I don't know how to rearrange it. Yes, he's gone in that pic - it was the very end. :(

Mishi's Across the Bridge

Major LES. Thank you for sharing those pictures with us. He was such a beautiful boy. I must just picture him having fun and playing up at the Bridge with all the other kitties who have crossed here recently.

I'm sorry to hear of Mishi's passing, my condolances to you and mitzi at this sad time. I'm sure she'll be of great comfort to you.

I honestly do not know how I missed this thread; maybe I was out of town. I checked twice to be sure that I didn't post and forgot later. I'm so sorry about your boybee Mishi. You took good care of him right up until the end and even after. I hope your heart is healing and that you and Mitzi are good company for each other. RIP, sweet Mishi.

What beautiful photographs, of your beautiful, loving and beloved boybee.

Thank you for posting them, and my deepest sympathy to you and Mitzi. Rest in peace, dear Mishi.

Hugs with LES,
Pat

I still miss the big goon, although Mitzi doesn't. She's very happy being the resident fur-princess. I hugged his box of ashes this morning and I swear I could feel him near.

I understand how you feel. There is an edge to the pain for a long time.
Mishi knows you haven't forgotten him and I believe his little spirit is right there with you today - and every day.

HUGS!!!!!!!!!! I feel the same way when it is the anniversary of one of the cats. You think about them always....take care...

I always think of them as its about 2 years siince Moose passed away, and a year since Sam AKA Shemp became an Angel.
I now that they are lying in the Sun with Mishi, Brain Greene , Andy and Breezy waiting for our
One Fine Day.

Wow, where has this past year gone? It doesn't seem like a year since Mishi OR Sherman (cyber-sibes husky) left us.

He is near you and always will be, even though you can't see or touch him. :)
