...
The hardest thing I have ever had to type. Last night it my best
buddy
suffered some kind of stroke that caused him to loose control of his legs.
Within hours he became more and more weaker and quietly passed to the
bridge
while I held him in my arms. Just before he died he turned his head and
looked
me right in the eyes and then took his last breath. I miss him so much it
hurts,
I can't stop crying. I knew it was just a matter of time with his cardiac
problems and high blood pressure but I just hoped he would be around a bit
longer. I am glad I could be there with him in his last hours. Please purr
for a
safe voyage to the bridge and try and remember how flabulous he was.

Oh TJ! I'm so very sorry for your loss. The Dust was once of a kind, and you
gave him a very good life. Who could forget the tutu and the feather boa?
Gentle hugs to you.

Tearfully yours,
Caroline S.

Oh, I am so sorry. I hope my Wally greets him and shows him around the
Bridge. I know I'm mostly a lurker, but his and your stories have always
meant so much to me. (Compassionate tears falling for you.)

I am so sorry to see this! ( I will send thoughts to Misty and Melody,
my two furkids at the RB, to welcome him and show him all the best nap
spots.

Purrs and purr-ayers to all of you.

I remember when I first started lurking here, some years ago, reading
stories about the 'fabulous Dusty'. I'm so very sorry for your terrible
loss. I know how much he meant to you.

At least his passing was peaceful, and in your arms to his last breath.
And, you were the last thing he saw before he left for the Bridge.

He will be waiting for you there, just as my beloved Lucky and Blizzard
are waiting for me.

I have lit a candle in my special candle holder in the shape of a curled
up sleeping kitty, to help him find his way to the Bridge.
