Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

[lisalee]

I'm so sorry you lossed your sweet Peanut. She was such a beautiful girl and very blessed to have lived such a long and wonderful life with you. Rest in peace now sweet Peanut.

[Taz_Zoee]

I am very sorry for your loss. Reading this thread had many tears falling, and a huge lump in my throat.
I am glad that you and Terry are at peace with the passing of Peanut. Guilt can be a horrible feeling, and you should not at all feel guilty for giving Peanut such a loving home for all these years. You did everything in your power to keep her safe and healthy. And her time was up. She missed Tubby too much.

Still thinking of you, Debbie and Terry.

Fly softly dear Peanut....Fly softly.

How is CJ doing?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thank you all again. We're all slowly adjusting to the fact that our sweet little girl will not be coming back.

The driver's seat of the motorhome turns around so it faces the rest of our living room. Sitting/sleeping on the driver's seat was Peanut's favorite spot. CJ respected that and even though he really likes that spot too, he never slept there because that was Peanut's spot. I was wondering how long it would take him to go back there, and yesterday was the first day I saw him there, taking a bath then a nap. This indicates to me that he has figured out she's not coming back. He's doing fine. I would say he was a little depressed for a day or two because he seemed really "muted" in his actions - no goofy little boy running around the place. But yesterday not only did he sleep in her spot, he was back to his goofy little boy self. Which tells me it's time to find him a new sister before he gets too used to being the only snot in the house.

One other quick butterfly story. We are staying at Picacho Peak RV Resort South of Phoenix, North of Tucson. Friday we "Hiked the Peak." It was really quite the climb - way more than either of us expected, and we were gone way longer than we expected. When we were about 1/2 way back down, a butterfly buzzed me again, then flew over by Terry, then flew off. Same kind of butterfly as the one we saw that first day. We figured CJ might be worried about us and that was Peanut, checking up on us then reporting back to CJ that we were ok. We haven't seen any other butterflies - the same type or different...... So....maybe when Peanut went to report to CJ that we were ok, she let him know too that she was ok and that it was ok for him to sit in her favorite spot.

We miss her terribly, but we know she's in a much better spot.

A good plan, all around.

A good plan, all around.

I agree and this one should be named Monarch (Monny)- or whatever type of butterfly it is - or even Butterfly (Butter for short) or Chrysalis (Chrys for short).
See I got ya covered on the name front - the rest is up to you when your heart is ready.

Aw - Peanut is the most thoughtful little girl - looking after her purrents and making sure her little brother is OK. What a sweet spirit she is

If you feel ready to get CJ a little sister (to keep him in line, of course ) then I'd say go for it Since you're not far from K&L, this may be easily accomplished - they've got the inside scoop on every kitty in the region

Seriously, the kitty you choose (or that chooses you ) will be a most fortunate little baby indeed.

Stay well and keep us informed.

Hugs,
Betty

I am sorry that Peanut is gone from this plain of existance. She is still with you just in a different form and she will be waiting for you when you are re-united again at the RB...

[Medusa]

Lucky little kitty, whoever it will be, to join your family, furkids and otherwise. I'm sure Peanut will approve.

Blessings,
Mary

Debbie, I'm glad to hear that you're all slowly adjusting. I agree that when you're ready I think that CJ would love to have a new sister and I agree that K & L would be able to help you in this area. Both of my girls are wonderful cats.

[CalliesMom]

Debbie-

I am so sorry for your loss! Peanut will always be one of my favorite PT kitties. She was a beautiful, regal, little lady.

Godspeed Sweet one.

Dearest Debbie and Terry,
I don't get over to the kitty side very often, and I know that last time I was here for awhile was because RB Tubby had moved on.

My (hugs) and prayers are with you as you slowly move on after Peanuts' passing, and I truly hope that your heart warms to another furkid (if only to stop CJ being a "SNOT" )

Love always
Michelle

Debbie I am so very sorry.
You must be devastated having shared a lifetime with your little princess.

I send many hugs to you and Terry.
Peanut is now with Tubby- and with Nakita- and with many others of our best cat friends here at PT- and I am sure that is the part of Rainbow Bridge that is even more fun than all the others.

[jazzcat]

Debbie, I just wanted you guys to know I'm thinking of you. Tubby was one of the first kitties I really got to 'know' well here to go on to the Bridge and his loss was very hard for me. I feel the same with Peanut.

I think a new sister for Cracker Jack is a good idea and I'm sure Peanut will help guide you to the perfect new family member. I feel certain Tubby had a hand with a certain orange and white fellow.
