Kind of following on from beckyjsbx post some 9 pages ago....
.....for anyone who's had to let a pet go, from the pet to you

Dear Mam/Dad

I'm sorry I had to go. I don't understand why we don't live as long as you, you knew that from the start, yet in spite of that you took me in, loved me, fed me, spent time just being with me for no good reason other than you loved me unconditionally, accepted the fact that I make no material contribution to your life knowing that it was likely that I would leave first. Not just slipping away but you would notice I was Ill and have to make a conscious decision that the best course of action was my death, never seeing me again, and even having to pay for the privelige. I don't blame you for this, I know you would do anything to have me stay,but unfortunately it's just the way it is.

Anyway, there's some good news. I've heard about this place, so hows about I meet you there. When you come if you could bring me some fish. And some chicken. And some cheese. And some more fish. And some catnip. And a bit of fish.

Cheers

Edit: I've had 2 opportunites in the past 5 years to not enjoy this particular experience and now I've noticed that our Pepper



goes through an entire bowl of water a night - and I know what that probably means.

Big fat fluffy bundles of heartbreak just waiting to happen, every one of them. But will I get more fluff again.... Oh yes!

Never.
I beat you by 2 years and half a beard.

Still leaking all over the keyboard.


The man who is openly crying, or the man who is pretending not to. Which is the real cowardice ?

Sorry
Didn't realise I'd wrongylinky'd. Consider it fixed.

They're probably having a whale of a time with Pod and Eric, and if you have any more now give the lovely little buggers a scratch behind the ears/under the chin/on the belly from me.

Ah, you bugger
You made me have a little weep.

Rainbow Bridge always brings a tear to the eye and a lump to the throat.
