My sweet boy became ill January 2nd and told me on Jan. 22 that he was ready to leave this earth so we took that difficult trip to the vet together for the last time. It's been a tough start to the new year but each day that passes makes it easier to remember him with a smile rather than through tears.

I am so sorry. I cannot imagine how hard it must be, loving your pet and losing him. My last pets before Maya were my beloved dogs who stayed with my mom when I got married. They passed away years ago and I could bear it only because I had not been around them that often in their last years. I hope he is in a good place now.

Matata,

I'm truly sorry for your loss and commend you on your bravery and selflessness.  This is one of the most difficult decisions to make and go through with.

I will be sure to ask my sweet Cuddles to keep an eye out for your sweet boy and teach him how to have some fun up there.


Take care and, I promise you, it gets easier. 

You are both in my thoughts.

 Aww Matata my heart skipped a beat when I saw the title of your post. I know this poem so well as we lost our beloved boy 2 years ago and the memorial people sent me this poem.
Take care and  I am thinking of you and this very difficult time.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet kitty. I had to put my beloved boy Oscar to sleep and it was definitely one of the worst experiences of my life. It does get easier, although it's hard to believe that at first.

I'm sure Matata was spoiled rotten and had a great life with you.

Letting go of a pet, a member of the family, is one of the hardest things to do.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

Mat, I am so sorry, that is one of the hardest decisions we ever have to make, but you put your dear one first and that takes courage. I know your sweet baby connects with you still.  Take care of you.









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

The loss of a beloved pet is every bit as hard as that of a family member.  I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss, and would also like to commend you for your bravery and selflessness in recognizing when it was time to let your precious baby not be in pain any longer. A dignified end with those who loved him there is truly the best gift you could have given him.

I hope in time the memory of all the love and good times you two shared will eclipse the pain. Please know that thoughts and prayers of healing are with you at this incredibly difficult time.
