My precious angel, Kitty Milo McSorley-Bonekovic, left me today, peacefully in my arms, just like he came into the world 15 years ago.

It breaks my heart to share such a sad photo, but even at 5.5 pounds compared to the 23 pound hunter he used to be, you can see the love and devotion this little man nurtured me with for most of my life up until his very last strained breath. I refused to put him down when the Vet said to last Saturday because Kitters wasn't ready yet. But today he was. I picked him up with his 15 year old Teddy Bear, and he tucked his face in me lifelessly with one are around his baby, so we went to the doctor where my sweet furbaby was sent to the angels in my arms. I'm only able to share since Chris medicated me, so I probably won't be around for a while.

Wretched pain - makes no sense, does it?

How can words discribe the loss. Just remember that you were very kind to let him go, He lives on in your heart. Its always such joy to start loving a pet but I never thought about the ending part before it happened to me. Please take care of yourself, your baby would want you to( I believe!), and you will meet again someday. After all it wouldn't be heaven without Him!

I was going to "try" to respond, but that Garth song tore me up. That's awesome, thanks for the tears (semi-sweet ones, anyway.)

Oh I know that is just the hardest thing to deal with. ((((((BIG HUGS))))) your way.

Lisa, my heart goes out to you for the loss of your baby. It sounds like he had a very good life though. Take Care.

So sorry for your loss, Lisa. It's an incredible emptiness coming home without your baby. I recently lost my 10yrold Boston Terrier, Murrie, to lymphoma. I did have to have him put to sleep, and it was the most peaceful passing imagineable. He died in my arms, which was his most favorite place to be. Kudos to you for having the strength to let your baby go in peace...He was lucky to have you as a mom...

You all made this so much easier. I feel different, peaceful. Like I did something really, really right in my life. I raised something from birth - smaller than my palm - all they way through. When we moved from California to Vegas, he slept the entire 6 hour haul. Then as we entered the city, he yawned, stretched and got up on the dashboard checking out his new digs. I raised an amazing baby, and I did it right. Nobody can ever take that from me, and it feels amazing.

Hey, where did we get Lisa from? Isn't it DeLarla? Just wondering....

Lisa, you were a great furbaby momma, and you know so well how "worth it" it is to love our pets. I am sad you had to endure this loss, and I am very proud of you for doing everything right. You have courage and strength, so rare. Now Kitty Milo feels great, and is playing all his games with the people angels who had to leave here without their pets. I've got some angels up there myself. (((((hug))))) Cindy

Milo is playing with my Stewie & Skip. Hugs and Love, Lisa. I'm sorry.

I have read this thread over and over again. I haven't been able to get anything into meaningful words. I just tear every time I read it. I don't know what to say Lisa. With my recent loss of Jeter, I can't seem to really get the words out. You know I love you and will think of you during this. My thoughts are with you. Call me if you need to talk.

Lisa,

I'm glad that you are feeling more at peace. It sounds like he was a wonderful kitty to have and I'm quite sure he'll wait patiently to see you again.

makes plenty of sense feel well soon

Lisa,

I'm crying right now! Your Milo was beautiful and he looked like he had a wonderful mommy. It's tough getting over the loss of a pet, but I do believe they ARE waiting for you in heaven.

Take care of yourself right now and remember that he's in a better place (even though you just want him in your arms!:rolleyes2:).

*HUGS*

Katie

Group hug for Lisa!:drool:
