Thank you! I hope he forgives me for the rough times. It wasn't always easy, but I promised him I would take care of him for the all of his life. I know we had some rough spots, but I kept my word. He went through some very serious bouts of illness, and spent a couple years being a "hidden" kitty as I wasn't allowed to have pets in one apartment. Another time my husband & kids & I had to move in with my in-laws for a while, my ex-FIL refused to let me keep him. I refused to "get rid of the cat" as instructed, FIL finally allowed Chow on the property. So I spent many nights sleeping outside in my van so I keep Chowdie company. The home I have now was his "retirement home" - it is surrounded by gardens, and he loved lying in the peppermint in the sun all day. I hope he was happy here.
