Today we had to say goodby to my Sam, a beautiful lilac point siamese...

As many of you know, when I adopted Sam in May of 2008, I had no idea he came from a hoarders house. He loved to cuddle with all my animals, but in the almost 9 years that he lived with us, he never let me touch him unless I would catch him when he least expected it. Right after Leo passed from mouth cancer, we found out that Sam had Lymphocytic Leukemia. The vet prescribed medicine that we had to give him daily, so in order to get him, Sam needed to live in my grandpup's huge crate... he seemed comfortable, but what kind of life is that, especially no one to cuddle with.... About a week later, he wasn't eating very much and when I would pick him up, he was all bones.... so today he joined his three other brothers that I know are happy to see him, so they can all play together over the rainbow bridge....

Today I will be doing a lot of crying, but the love and laughter that our beloved pets bring us every day, outweighs the tears...

Pets are people. Family. No matter who gets it, cancer sucks.

I know how you feel... we, my wife and I are moving to the east coast, we had two beautiful cats, brother and sister. We had them for 5 years and found we could not take them with us for various reasons. we wracked our brains for two months trying to find a good home for them. Finally a week and a half ago, we found a really good home for them. It still broke my heart to give them away, but I am content with the fact that they are well placed and loved.

I know your heart is breaking,Angela, even when you know you are doing the right thing. They bring such joy, so much entertainment. And altho' they must leave far too soon, they are worth the tears. So sorry for your loss of another family member so soon.

I'm sad for your loss Angela, these are lovely photos of your past furbabies. My mom had a cat that died of a form of leukemia.

I'm so sorry, Angela. Any time would be painful, but coming at such a short time after Leo makes it even more so I'm sure.

Thanks Rich, I know that had to be hard and thankfully you did find them a loving home.... I feel the same way about having to say goodby to them, I know when they crossed that bridge, their pain will disappear and they will be happy again.
Good luck on your move!
