When I got injured and couldn't move for many months, he cuddled up and kept me company for the duration. At the end of his long life, we planted a cherry tree over his grave. Every springtime James smiles at us from the cloud of delicate blossoms and purrs contentedly.David Bridgerhttp://www.davidbridger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-36309260289684544522010-11-17T07:53:29.613-05:002010-11-17T07:53:29.613-05:00I'm so sorry for your loss.

I had a cat named Vinnie who would ride around perched on my shoulder, he was a snuggler too.<br /><br />I still miss each one of my fur babies I have lost. My first two dogs have become dog angel tattoos on my back, with two more waiting to join them. Still waiting for the right moment to welcome another dog into our family.

There's a beautiful poem by Mary Oliver about the death of her companion: "....A dog comes to you and lives with you in your own house, but you do not therefore own her, as you do not own the rain, or the trees, or the laws which pertain to them....How strong was her dark body! How apt is her grave place. How beautiful is her unshakable sleep. Finally, the slick mountains of love break Over us." ("Her Grave").

When you lose a much-loved pet you feel so alone, and it helps to know there are friends out there who understand exactly what you're going through. <br /><br />We decided to do something positive and go to the dog park today. Since our new pup Skye has finished having all her shots she went along for the first time. It was great to see her socialize with other pups (she was a bit timid, but perked up when a gentleman brought his two lovely Shelties for a visit.) I think Jak would have approved, too. Any time you spend with your pets is never wasted.the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-91000711348724938202010-11-14T21:50:02.092-05:002010-11-14T21:50:02.092-05:00I'm so very sorry for your loss.

He was also a fierce hunter of mice. I called him a Renaissance kitty because he was so good at everything he did.<br /><br />On the year anniversary of his death, I found a mouse trapped in the bath tub. We NEVER have mice so I knew he was leaving me a present to say "hi" and to remind me he was still around although out of sight.<br /><br />Never out of heart, though.Marilynn Byerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720129999636676998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-43917353489646331652010-11-14T15:19:59.497-05:002010-11-14T15:19:59.497-05:00Big warm hugs to you and your family.
