Our dearest Tigris

Tears flow freely down my cheeks as I read this. I'm so sorry Barbara, but I'm glad you have such fond memories of him and that he went peacefully.

Play hard at the Bridge, dearest Tigris.

I do hope that those cherished memories will help your heart to heal. Please know that you did everything to give him a wonderful and happy life right to the very end.

Barbara & Siegmar, I am so sorry the time had come for your handsome boy to leave you. I know you will miss him very, very much.

Rest in peace Tigris, you were and always will be dearly loved.

I'm so sorry. I did have to smile at the thought of him just taking in everything on the last day - like he wanted to do some of his favorite things just one last time.

RIP Tigris.

I am so sorry about the loss of your wonderful friend, Tigris. We have all watched the journey hoping against hope with you as you and poor Tigris headed for this final inevitable decision; I believe Tigris knew you would help him to the Bridge and he was ready.

My heart goes out to you and Siegmar and Filou at this time of grief, Barbara.

RIP sweet Tigris, Godspeed to the Bridge. Peace to your family. Come visit sometimes to let them know you're happy and pain free.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Many, many hugs and prayers of comfort going out to you.

So sorry for your loss but your words:

"It was easy for him and he was so ready to leave us."

are exactly what I just experienced with my Lab Casey on 9/7. It is such a peaceful and dignified way for them to go.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Barbara, Siegmar and Filou,

My heart is heavy and I can't hold back the tears. It is hard to believe that Tigris is not here anymore.

Tigris was one of favourites here. I am glad I had the pleasure to meet him and hold him, those memories are precious. Just recently, I watched the video from our visit, and it was good to see Tigris sitting in John's lab... and didn't he also play the piano.

Barbara and Siegmar, you have done all you could to make him comfortable during his illness, and you have had a long life together full of love, playtime and cuddles. Keep those precious memories. Tigris enjoyed the last bit of sun yesterday, he got to hear the birds sing this morning, and you were all there to say goodbye - just as it should be. He is resting comfortably under his rose bush now.

Dear Tigris, you will be missed very much, but never ever forgotten.

Rest in peace, dear handsome boy!

My thoughts are with you, Barbara, Siegmar and Filou.

I'm so sorry. Kirsten's right--PT won't be quite the same without handsome Tigris. He was a special boy.

My thoughts are with you and Siegmar (and Filou) at this very difficult time.

RIP Tigris. Your friends around the world won't ever forget you.

Barbara, my heart sank when I saw your thread in Cat Memorial! I'm still at work, but wanted to check in for a moment to see how Tigris was doing... And now I'm sitting here fighting back tears...

It sounds like Tigris had a very peaceful passing, and it makes me glad to read that he had enjoyed the sun yesterday, and the stars at night. These must be the images that he took with him, and all the love he got from you and Siegmar during his 13 years on earth!

As for Filou... Yes, I think Trude is right, it will help him to understand that he saw what was going on.

Ruhe sanft und in Frieden, lieber, kleiner Tigris!!!
Du wirst uns allen hier sehr fehlen, aber am allermeisten deinen liebenden Menschen!
Barbara, ich denke an Euch!!

R.I.P. Tigris!!
Pet Talk will be a different place without you!

It's odd, but no matter how much you know that it's coming, when you see that thread in Cat Memorial, it is just so upsetting.

You have been in my thoughts all day. I am glad to hear that it was peaceful for Tigris and that he was at home with his family.

Love to all of you. I still can't quite believe it.

Tears flow freely down my cheeks as I read this. I'm so sorry Barbara, but I'm glad you have such fond memories of him and that he went peacefully.

Play hard at the Bridge, dearest Tigris.
