Re: yesterday
John, I feel for you and your family and know the pain that goes with losing such a dearly loved mate. We have always had dogs wherever we were and sadly as their time came we put them in garden to be near us. We have our latest big boy who is waiting for his morning walk.
Look around and bring home another one looking for a kindly home and also to fill the gap in yours.
Richard
I Meant to Press THANKED. R

Re: yesterday
John you bring tears to my eyes as i read your story. Just this time last uear we lost out cat of 17 years. She came to us over the fence as a two year old from a family who had abused her.
I know the pain all too well, time heals and thankfully memories live on.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: yesterday
John,
Cora and I feel so sad at your loss, our last cat passed away some years ago and we decided that we would not have any more purely due to our age but by jingo we do miss them but there is a stray that comes everyday for food ,he has done for that last 2 years.
Good Luck.
John
