Missing Tubby

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

The other night we were walking home from our townhome association meeting. It was a nice evening and one of the neighbors had their front door open (with screen door) and sitting right smack in the middle, sniffing the breezes to his heart's content, was a BIG black kitty kat. He created a bigger bowling pin than Tubby, but other than that I could have sworn it was Tubby sitting there. Tubby always liked to survey his domain - front and back - and he adored sitting in the door and sniffing the breezes.

Then Debbie (sirrahbed) brings up how Robbie likes to be carried over the shoulder like a baby - and that's exactly how Tubby liked to be carried. He never allowed me to turn him upside down and "squish" him.

Lately CJ has started making the little mrrt sound when he sees Peanut. Tubby used to do that all the time too, to everybody, not just Peanut.

I think it all started when Twicket died. Ever since then it seems all these little reminders of Tubby are everywhere, and they're making me realize just how much I'm missing my big boy.

He so loved sniffing the breezes that he even did it in the motorhome. Here's a pic of him surveying what he wished was his domain.


Sure do miss you Tubs.

It's hard losing a pet. There are times I still miss my RB spaniel named Rocky, and I swear I see him when we go on our walks. I know Tubby misses his mom too especially now that he is at the RB

Debbie (((HUGS))) just think.....they are all good memories. Tubby still lives and always will live in your memory and most importantly he lives everyday within your heart. (((hugs))) Meg

((((Hugs)))) Debbie, I know how hard it is to loose a pet. I still miss Stubby, and Dana so much. I am sure Tubby is looking down on you from Rainbow Bridge and wishing you lots of comfort.

I am sure that Tubby is looking down from the RB knowing how much you love and miss him. He was a beautiful boy!

He'll be furrever in your heart- but I understand that knowing he will never again be in your lap is too much at times

Sounds all so stupid. It took me twenty years not to cry when I talk about my Meo.

It's so hard to loose them. Those little pawprints on the heart are indeliable, even when the heart is shattered.

I miss Twicket all the time too despite the fact that I feel at peace with his death. It was his time and nothing could have changed that. I've had a much harder time with Dominique's death. A few days ago, I woke up with Ivy curled against me under the covers, exactly where Dom used to lay. For a second, I forgot Dom is gone and then I remembered and spent the rest of the day in tears.

awwww (((((Debbie))))) My sweetheart RB Bert is buried at the head of my bed - right outside ther window and I will still lay there and miss him until I cry - and he has been gone about 7 years now. I think there will always be reminders of him and same for your Tubby - it gets easier and sweeter - but I think there may always be some tears and days of missing him so much.

Oh my, I understand so very well what you mean.... ! EVERY time I see a black cat, I think of my beloved Sydney . It si 3 years ago now, it still hurts so much!!
I am so happy o have another black cat. Zazou has some white too, what makes her a tux, but her little head is as black as the night!

(((((( HUGS !!!!)))))

Debbie, it's been years since they have gone, but my heart still yearns to see and snuggle, Sable, Nike, and Chance.

The wounds are still too fresh from losing Scooter.

I think many of us here who have lost a beloved pet friend and soulmate know how you feel; I certainly feel that way about my RB Katz.

I don't know if I ever want another tux girl, because I think I would always compare her to Katz.

Your Tubby was a very special friend to you, and lived with you for a very long time, and he looks so sweet in the picture you have posted.

We all can relate to what you're feeling. So many times I see an orangie and think of Timmy, or see a black cat and Mikey comes to mind. Black & white cats remind me of Daisy and Dali...tabbies remind me of Honey and Puddy; need I go on?

I miss all of them dearly. It comes at different times and places, but the feeling is always the same
