Advice pls: what to send my friend's cat who died
[top post]
You say "picking every thought apart". Yes, I must take care bit to do that unless asked to do so. Was just a bit worried that she's so knocked by the grief that seemingly endless that it may look attractive to her to follow her pet over the Rainbow Bridge.

If you start picking every good thought you have apart, you won't find what you are looking for. The focus for this is her and the cat she loved. My 2 cants worth. "Sandi" wrote in message ...

I am sure they will give him a "good" funeral, if that's the word, because they loved him so much. I don't live near them but I want to pay my respects.

MLB Posters have referred to Rainbow Bridge. I didn't realise what it was until I googled. I once heard a song call Rainbow Bridge. Guess I missed what it was really about. Not too sure about the happy part which depends on the owner also dying. You never know exactly how much she may want to hasten the reunion. You know what I mean. :-( |

You asked what we thought and you have been given some good ideas. If she
has a mental problem then something more serious should be taking place. We all love our pets but, thankfully, few decide that following them is a good idea. Most of sit and wait knowing full well that at some point another furry friend will come along in need and, maybe reluctantly we will provide that need. "Sandi" wrote in message ...
