As I read through all of your postings, I fondly remembered my other furry friends from days gone by, their different personalities, and how the one thing they all had in common was their ability to bring joy into my life. I am blessed that they were in my life and that softens the pain when it is time for them to "cross the rainbow bridge".
These "goodbye" posts always bring back memories of lost pets. And you are right, it reminds me to think back and give thanks. For Fletcher, our 20-yr-old orange cat, Drewby the Siamese loudmouth, Bear the first and still-mourned golden. And many more. And then there are a couple of PIA's that we still nonetheless remember fondly! It reminds me of a dog's headstone in the Key West Cemetery: "Here Lies ____" (don't remember the name, but I think a terrier) "She was a challenge to love."!
It is good to be able to write about them.
