It's OK Meowmie...I made it to the RB!!

I join the others (and you) with LES. I pray that Speckles will continue to have a wonderful time at the RB. I'm sad, but comforted in the fact that she is resting peacefully with our loved ones.

So much love expressed by so many who never knew Speckles except in Cyberspace. Her memory will always be alive in your heart and on these pages.

Ohhhh my, I'm so so sorry.

Rest In Peace, Speckles. I'm glad you made it to the bridge safely. Have fun there and watch over your mommy.

{{{Big Hugs For You, Slick}}}

I'm so terribly sorry you lossed your sweet, precious Speckles. She's now just happily waiting for you to join her someday. Rest in peace Speckles, your mommy loved you so very much.

Hey Meowmie, can you hear me???? I just wanted to fill you in on what's happening up here. It's so neat. On the first anniversary of an angel's passing, there is this huge parteee with lots of balloons to chase and lots of catnip to taste. As you can imagine, with all the angels up here, there's a parteee every day. It's so much fun and I feel so good. I miss you Meowmie.

It amazing Meowmie, but I just can't get over how fast the days go by. There's so much to do and so many angels to meet. I've got my own little spot on the sun ray where I sleep when I play too hard. It's so nice and warm.

I secretly heard that they are preparing for my 1st anniversary parteee and I can hardly wait. It would be so wonderful if you make it up here for the 21st, but it's a long way for you to travel and you are not ready for the Bridge yet. I'll be thinking of you though. I love you Meowmie.

My sweet Sparkles.....do you know that I didn't have the heart to put up a Christmas tree this year?? It just didn't seem right not to have you beneath it. Maybe next year. There are some nights that I wake up and I feel you snuggled under the blankets beside me. I'm sure that's you....comforting me and watching over me. Thank you for that.

I miss you more than you will ever know and you'd better save a spot for me on that sun ray...right beside you. We will sleep peacefully forever.

Oh Slick. That made me sad. I'm sorry you're still feeling the loss so strongly. I know exactly how you feel. No decorations for me, either. Pm me any time you want to talk.

Oh my gosh.... cannot stop crying here... :(

Take care, dear Slick!! A very special cat-angel is watching over you now!!

message to Specles aka Sparkles: please look for my Sydney and tell him we all miss him so much! Merry Christmas to you!!

Dear Slick, this Christmas is going to be difficult one for many of us that have lost a beloved cat/cats this year. And so many have gone to the Bridge. They are planning a wonderful Christmas party for all the cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies that never knew the love that they did while they lived with us!! It will be so special and a tribute to those who were left behind to cope with their passing.
Christmas was Ralph Syracuse's FAVOURITE time of year!! He loved to help wrapping presents, " fixing " the tablecloth, eating the ribbon, tissue paper, and fake tree, then promptly throwing up. This will be the first Christmas in 2 years that he will not be sick. Ralph is with your Speckles and all the other PT cats and kittens at the Bridge. They are young, healthy, and handsome as ever!! They wait patiently for us...Take care...Sandra

Gosh, this just made me cry all over again. The pictures at the beginning of this thread are definitely LES touching moments that will no doubt be cherished forever.

The holidays do seem more difficult when your loved ones are gone. But, Speckles isn't really gone, for you've felt her presence. :)

**hugs**

Big hugs for you my friend. Anniversaries of our beloved pets passing are so hard. They bring back all of the feelings and tears. It is doubly hard when they happen to be around Christmas.

I really do believe all of us who have lost precious pets, now do have angels that whisper purrs in our ears to comfort us, or perhaps a still wet nose that touches our face with love.

Speckles has been very busy this year telling everyone what a great life he had with you and how much he misses you too.

Tubby here, Auntie Slick. Shhhhh.....don't tell Speckles but we are planning the BEST partee ever for her! The way it works is that all RB residents are in attendance, but all those who have become residents within the last year get to sit at the table of honor. Unfortunately that table is always over flowing. So you see....it's not that we don't want you to be here too....but there's just no room for you yet. And besides, Speckles tells me that her snotty brother Max still needs you down on the ol' dirt ball to take care of him. So don't worry, Speckles understands that you can't be here yourself. But that's ok, she loves to visit you during the night and she really enjoyed helping you re-cup-er-ate after your sir-jury.

I gotta go now, Auntie Slick. Head bumpies to you. Tell meowmy I said Hi!

Slick. I know exactly what you're going through. :( {{{{hugs}}}}

A big hug for you and Max from Eve and me. Having lost beloved furbabies myself, I can understand your feelings and the sadness. The upside is that you have experienced that wonderful relationship with Speckles and although you miss her terribly, she will never leave you (as painful as that may be at times).

There are many times when I feel Roxy and August's presence. That feeling is bittersweet - wonderful to know that they will never "leave" me but painful to know that I can't hold them and cuddle them and play with them the way I once did. Eve has really helped in her own way. Although she never knew Roxy and August, she "knows" they were here and often cuddles up in some of their favourite spots after a good sniff :) She helps to keep their spirit with us always. In fact, I think there is some communication happening on a level that I cannot consciously apprehend. Eve has begun to do certain things that only Roxy would know about and I can't tell you just how wonderful that is for me. Although it sounds bizarre I am certain they have a spiritual connection and I'm just fine with that :)
