Thread: My darling Calcapt

depends on the type of cat....if your cat was used to having Barkley around, then he/she might also be going thru some abandonment stress and if so, give it a few days and the cat will probably want more of your attention, something of which you might enjoy. again, it depends on the cat though.... Believe it or not, when our lady died (beagle), our black cat sasha was pretty upset....so we ended up getting her a pet....now we have 3 and...

Calcapt. I/We know the pain you are feeling. We lost our "buddy" Onyx two weeks ago. If you would have told me a week before he passed that I would experience the range and depths of emotions that I did I would have thought you crazy. He was more a part of our family than I fully realized and perhaps apprecieated. Onyx was our first family pet, a solid black schnoodle. We had the joy of his spirited personality for 12 years....

I know you will miss Barkley. I am so sorry he is no longer running and playing among us, but he will always be within your memory. Our dogs are very special companions, the only friends who truly love us unconditionally. I, and all your friends, are beside you to share your grief and offer comfort at this time. We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often...

I didn't want this one (I travel too much), but can't imagine him not being here now. Very sorry. Dogs are more than just animals. Mine would do more...

A wag or two of his little stubby tail...

Sorry about your loss and my heartfelt sympathy to you.

Sorry about your loss, it's really tough, I know. The thing i carry away with each of my pet's departure was the knowledge that unlike dealing with other humans, a bond between me and my dog is unspokenly 'Until death do us part'. If there's a doggie heaven somewhere, I'd love to have a chance to be greeted by those old souls again,...

So sorry to hear about your loss, Calcapt! We lost our faithful friend "Harry" in February. He was 15 and the sweetest dog I've ever had the pleasure of being around. He loved everybody and every thing. I completely understand the range of emotions and deep loss you are feelinig. Best wishes and know Barkley will always be with you.
