Oh Sandy, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear QI. I've always enjoyed
hearing your "Tuppence Tales". What a loving tribute you've written. I
lost my dear kitty Clyde in August. He was 18, and I had him since he was 3
months old. I understand the pain of your loss. Bless your heart for being
such a loving "fur-mommy"!
Hugs,
Vickie in Cleveland

Sandy, I'm so sorry you've lost your precious Tuppence. It's the most
difficult decision a furbaby's "parent" can make..... and the kindest
and most loving. After a while it will be a bit easier. You'll always
remember good times with your Tuppence and the hurt will go away a
little at a time. I always take great comfort in the Rainbow Bridge
story. I truly believe I'll have a herd of beloved animals waiting for
me when my times comes.

Hugs to you and your DH,

Leslie (still mourning Barney and Mojo- both went to Rainbow Bridge in
May by our decision and their great need for peace and a cessation of
pain)

Thanks so much, Vickie, and I'm really sorry to hear about Clyde, too.

Thanks, Leslie. I also take great comfort in the Rainbow Bridge story,
though it also makes me cry when I read it. Still, I do believe my
various "babies" will be waiting for me there.

I think the toughest time is during the night and early morning, when
she used to cuddle with me, sleeping as soundly as a baby. Today, I
*swear* I felt her brush against my legs as I sat down to breakfast; she
always laid down at my feet under the table as I ate, and it felt as
though she was getting into her favorite position. I even reached down
to pet her -- a reflex action before I remembered.

Sandy, I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me in the last
couple of weeks since Tipper left us. I will *swear* she's laying right next
to me in bed when I wake up, and then reality sets in again. One night in
the middle of the night I heard a light "plunk," and I just knew she had
gotten out of bed to get a drink. And I still haven't gotten used to coming
in the door at night without her happy little face to greet me. And it's
hard to sit on the couch at night, knowing that her boney little hind end
isn't going to plop right down next to me. You have my deepest sympathies,
but hopefully Tuppence and Tipper are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge
right now!

And it takes time to forget some of those reflex actions! Our dog had been
gone several years when one day I was using the timer on my kitchen clock
radio while my college age DD was there with me. When the beep beep beep of
the timer went off, we both turned to expectantly to the living room
awaiting the inevitable barking the dog used to do when the particular timer
beeped. We looked at each other and both were surprised we had expected the
same thing at the same time. It had not been weeks, or months since Boomer
was gone....it was years! And we still expected to hear his rant!

For most of Tuppence's life, I've given her her medication in my
bathroom before feeding her dinner. Now, when it's time to feed Dexter,
I'm finding myself heading toward the bathroom instead of the kitchen.
Habits are hard to break.
