Mark, I an so genuinely sorry to hear the sad news about Squirrel. You and us all know that what you did was the kindest thing that you could have done for her, to reward her for her years of devotion to you. Nevertheless that does not diminish the courage that you had to show, and the pain that you now feel. I have also been there more times rhat I ever care to think about. In over 30 years we have 6 buried in our back garden.

Take care, you will survive for her memory.

My condolences to your loss Mark.

May she find Tubbs across the Rainbow Bridge.

It grieves me much to have to tell you all that during my banishment, my most beloved friend and companion, Squirrel, was released to the Rainbow Bridge this past Tuesday morning.

I shall miss her forever until I can rejoin her.

She rests now in peace in my back yard, near to a willow sapling that shall some day live far longer than I or her.

My loss of her is immeasurable, my desolation is incomprehensible to me at this time.

She had been my constant companion for a third of my human existence. Over 18 years, this kitty sat by my side. Every day, when I came home tired and worn out from work, she came and sat there, just so happy to be by me. And so, she shore me up.

She had a stroke, and lost the use of her left front paw, and just looked up at me with those still wide open eyes, and I knew the time that I wished would never come, had come. I could see it in her eyes, still big and bright.

There has never been a harder or more painful decision than I had to make that day. And I know, I can understand, that I had no other choice to make.

But that does not diminish my pain or sorrow.

I am not dealing with it well right now.

The kittyman has lost one of his own.......

And I can assure you, my life will never be the same.
