tears turned to smiles
Condolences on your oh-so-sad loss but felicitations on your joyful
new arrival, which was clearly "meant" to happen. All the best for your life together. Purrs Gordon, Bandit, Pericles & Snowball -- Feline family viewable at: http://community.webshots.com/user/exocat "David Yehudah" wrote in message ... -- No matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up. Hold your friends close and your enemies even closer. When Clinton lied, no one died. Dear Friends and Fur-babies, It is with deepest sorrows that we must inform you of Samantha's death. She was a major part of our lives for five years. We were told four years ago that she was critically ill but decided to give her as much love as we could for the time she was to grace our lives. That time was four years longer then the vet had given her. She had gotten to the point that when she ate, she got sick. During the time we were gone to help my sister, following major surgery, Sammy stopped eating and most of her intake of liquids. When we returned home, she was in critical condition and dangerously dehydrated. We did what we could for her, but she continued to deteriorate. It was clear that she was beginning to suffer and we made the decision to put her to rest. That was done late this afternoon. Dave was not able to do this without a great deal of stress, and having had several bouts with his heart last night, I told him I would take on the responsibility. I was not able to do this without many tears while make this final trip with our little girl. The people were caring and gentle with their duties and their treatment of me. Taking time to compose myself before returning home, I took a slow tour of the several rooms of cats looking for homes. I will take time to say that this was the cleanest and finely staffed facility I have ever visited. They had many of the cats in rooms grouped by age group and maintenance required; they even had a room for four months of age or younger! When I entered the last room before exiting at the front of the building, I entered a room for animals released for adoption effective today. As I neared the kennels, a black and white paw reached out to me. I let the paw pull my finger to the cat owning that paw. It was a two-year old female black and white tabby, that had been spayed and given her shots. Her first family developed allergies forcing her to find a new home. When she succeeded in pulling my finger to her, she began licking my finger, as if she felt my pain and was offering me kitty kisses and purrs. Our newest addition to our family is Oreo. She is as sweet as her name implies. She did not panic when she was introduced to the K-9 members a little while ago. Sammy will be missed but Oreo will heal the pain. Headbutts and Purrs to all our friends, Patty |

Have lots of lovely Years together Patty, David and the k-9s Jean.P. David Yehudah wrote in message ... -- No matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up.
