Oh Zoe, I had no idea. I'm so sorry. Just Sunday I was talking to Pam, Karen and Robyn about meeting you and we were talking about what a miracle Samantha was. I just missed this post. Please forgive me.

When I read the title of this thread, my heart sank. I can't express how sorry I am that Samantha had to cross to the RB. She was such a beautiful girl.

Zoe, I hope it is a comfort to you that she had a long life filled with love. You have done SO much to make her last years comfortable and she knew how much you loved her. She will be missed by you and us all, but I know Samantha will always have a place in your heart and she will never be forgotten.

I send my deepest sympathy and lots of ((((hugs))))

Rest in peace, dear sweet Samantha!

Dearest Zoe, I'm so sorry to just read this now. Samantha and that darling black nose of hers will always be dear to my heart.

RIP Samantha, the world just isn't the same with you gone.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.
It's been a month now since Samantha went to the Rainbow Bridge.
I have finally been able to look at some of her photos from this summer.
She really showed her age in some of these last photos.
I still have more to go through but for now, here are some more photos of my sweet girl.

Pouting by the toilet because her favorite rug had to be washed and she couldn't lay on it.


Watching the grass grow in the backyard.


Walking around.


She would pace around a lot and get disoriented at times.


A beautiful double rainbow waiting for her.

Aww, that last picture is perfect. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[Barbara]

Thank you for posting these pics. All of them show what a great old age Samantha had. I wish the same for me.

Thank you for posting these pics. All of them show what a great old age Samantha had. I wish the same for me.

I would be particularly happy to lounge in all my favourite spots while someone remodels my house round about me.

Thank you for these beautiful bonus photos of Samantha. What a wonderful life she had.

[Sonia59]

Aww, thank you for the beautiful pictures!

I am sorry that I am just seeing this now.

How my heart broke when I saw your thread. I'm so, so sorry on the loss of your precious Samantha. You were so lucky to have her for 20 wonderful long years. If only we all could be so lucky to have our pets for so long.
I always enjoyed seeing her beautiful pictures.

Rest well dear girl and have fun up on the RB.

[Vermontcat]

Thanks everyone.

I had time to go through some more of her photos from this summer.

She loved sniffing the fresh air by the back door.


She spent a lot of time on her favorite rug in the bathroom this summer.


Checking out the new door.




I smell fresh grass out there.






One of her better days.


Her cute panda markings.


Because she was deaf and blind this past year, she would walk along the walls when she went from room to room.


That's all the photos for now, I will post some more another day when I have a chance to go through them all.
I still miss her a lot.

[Barbara]

How much these pictures of old and pretty Samantha touch my heart.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm so sorry. I am just seeing this thread. I always loved seeing pictures of her and hearing about her. She was such a beautiful girl.

Rest in Peace, Samantha

I am so very sorry reading now about Samantha. What lovely photos of such a beautiful old girl still enjoying the comforts of her beloved home.

I'm sure Samantha was showing you that double rainbow herself to say "Here I am, Meowmie!"

[Vermontcat]

Thank you for the nice comments.
It's been two months now since she's gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
I still miss her a lot.
I found another nice Rainbow photo that I took this summer just a couple of weeks before she left me.


I still have a few more photos of her from her last week that I will have to post later.
It still hurts a lot to look at them.

Thank you for sharing the pictures of sweet Samantha! I know how close the two of you were, and it is no wonder that you miss her so much, especially after being together for so many years.

I know that I will feel the same way when my Tabitha goes to the RB..... we have been through a lot in 20 years together!

Bless you, and keep thinking of the many wonderful memories you have of yoru spotted kitty!
