RIP, my sweet Texas

Texas is on his way to RB. My sweetest and most tuxie of all tuxedos was just too thin, wasn't eating, was howling, and had a most difficult time walking this am. I knew it was his time to make the trip, though my heart is so heavy. I was with him til the very end, reminding him of our better days of health. I told him he would forever be my heart cat, and when he got settled in, to let Binx know I still miss him!

RIP, Texas. You were twice the cat I have ever known. You deserve every good thing at RB. Godspeed my little man.

All my forever love,
Johanna

Rest In Peace Texas.:(

You will live forever in your momma's heart.

Johanna,

I'm so sorry to hear about Tex. You're in my thoughts.

RIP sweet little boy!

(((((hugs)))))

I'm very sorry to hear about Texas...He was a beautiful boy.
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
With Deepest Sympathy....:(

I am crying. Such a brave thing to do. I just know how hard it is, but in the long run, it is humane. You will be in my thoughts and tears.

This came as a total surprise to me- oh Joh- you are going through hard times these days.

Tex boy will be meeting Tubby - and both will be playing- young again and happy.

RIP, sweet boy.

Oh Johanna what a shock, I am so sorry {Hugs}.

RIP Texas, play nicely at the bridge.

I am so sorry Johanna. :( I can say from experience, I know how hard it is when they leave us :( Thankfully he will be healthy now, and that is why it had to be done. I am sure Binx will look out for him at the Bridge...what a nice reunion for them. (((HUGS)))

Oh Joh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I knew you said he was declining but I didn't realize it was this serious.

Rest in Peace Texas. You will be dearly missed here on the ol' dirt ball, but I know you will have lots and lots of friends at the RB - Tubby amongst them.

:( :(

My eyes are burning as I type this.

It is so difficult when we realize that it is time for us to say goodbye and do the right thing for our pets.

Johanna, I am so sorry for your loss and I know all too well how Texas took over your heart and the pain you now feel.

Texas, I know that you are sharing stories now with Binx about your wonderful home. Play hard - pain free - you will be joined by Johanna in God's time.

Dearest Johanna,

I can hardly see right now, through the tears. What a shock to wake up to this morning. :( I'm so sorry to hear about Texas leaving you, and wish I could be there to bring you some comfort. May God hold you gently, and comfort you, and wipe away your tears. RIP darling Texas, the leader of the tuxies, and know how very much your mommy loves you. You will be deeply missed here, by all of us.

Lots of love and {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} to you, Johanna. You know that if you need anything, or just a shoulder to cry on, I'm just a PM or email away. :(

:(

I'm so sorry about Texas. Play nice at the Bridge!

Johanna, this will be a short reply because I just don't know what words to say. :( :( Tears flow freely for you and we all hurt along with you. RIP little Texas and watch over your Meowmie for us. Enjoy your eternal life at the RB little one.

Big {{{hugs}}} Johanna

Oh no. :( RIP Texas. :(

This is so sad :(

RIP handsome Texas.

OH NO!!

I am so sorry Johanna!

RIP sweet Texas kitty! I know you have a wonderful life with your meowmie.

Have fun playing at Rainbow Bridge.... pain free.... I'm sure there are lots of bugs to paw at... and lots of birds to chirp at.

:(

Be at peace sweet Tex!
You will be missed so very much here.

You are well and healthy now and have tons of our fur pals to play with. You'll see your mawmee again someday and will even get to meet us too. Fister's daddy is there and will want to give you lots of hugs too, I'm sure!

(((HUGS heading to heaven)))

I'm so sorry to hear about Texas. RIP sweet boy, I'm sure Binx will show you around the rainbow bridge.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tex.

So sorry to hear your news. It's so hard to let them go. He will be playing happily now at Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure my dear Sooty will be showing him the ropes. :(

I hope you have a pleasant trip to the Rainbow Bridge, Texas.
We know your heart was bigger even than the state whose name you bore, and that will never change. Say hello to everyone up there at the bridge, and find my Mom, who always called you guys Disney kitties instead of Tuxies, okay? She knows just how to give goooooood kitty skritchies.

:( RIP sweet Texas! I can't type too much more as I can't see through the tears. Say Hi to my sweet Goldie up at the Bridge .... look for a small, fluffy orangie gal.

Oh Johanna, I am so sorry. :( Texas was lucky to have fourteen years with you, and you were most blessed to have him too, of course. Now he is whole again, forever young in body and spirit. He leaves an amazing legacy behind and will never be forgotten.

{{{{HUGS}}}} to you.
RIP always, Tex.

OH Johanna, I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I know Texas was your main man,, #1 kitty. He has been with you thorugh a lot. Many hugs coming your way. {{{{HUGS}}}} RIP dear Texas :( :(

I know it was difficult to say goodbye to your precious Texas.
I pray and hope that you find comfort and peace in the loving memories you made together.

Rest in Peace dear Texas.

(((((HUGS))))) Johanna

Rest in peace sweet boy. Until we're all reunited ~ never to be parted again. :(

I'm so sorry, Johanna, for this loss. :( :( I knew he was declining, but there is never a good time. :(

You and your family remain in my prayers as you struggle with Samantha's illness. Texas is in my thought and prayers, too. I'm sure he is romping happily, by now, with Shrimp Boat, Tigger and so many others in heaven. Isn't that a wonderful thought?

Love,
Logan

I'm sorry to hear about Texas making the trip up to the Rainbow Bridge, :( but now you have another angel to watch over you and your family.
{{{{{hugs}}}}}

Johanna, I'm so sorry to hear that Tex is gone.:(
I know he was your first tux kitty and a very special one in your heart.
Hugs to you.

Johanna, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious Texas.

Rest in peace, sweet Texas, and play hard at the bridge.

Willie

Johanna, sometimes life just seems to hand us too much grief to bear at once :(. I'm so very sorry that in this already stressful and frightening time, you must also deal with the loss of your beautiful and beloved Texas. I just know though, that he is now at the Rainbow Bridge, playing with kittenish glee, and watching over you and the herd from above. {{Hugs}} and my most heartfelt condolences to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Rest in Peace Texas.

I am so sorry :( ((((((hugs)))))))) R.I.P. Texas :(

Johanna,

I am so sorry.
Perhaps he will find the darlin Binxy boy ............. :(

I'm sure that my Pepper welcomed him with open arms. RIP sweet Tex. You'll always be missed and never forgotten. Please take care Johanna. I know you're going through a lot right now. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Dear Johanna ... I am just now seeing this thread. I am so very sorry to hear that Tex is now at Rainbow Bridge. I know it was a very difficult decision, but it was one made out of love and in his best interest. This just adds to all the sadness you are experiencing right now, and I just wish I could take your pain away. Please know I am here and praying for you.

Love,
Kim:(
