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.
Thanks Carla... they are all worth the tears for the amount of joy and love they bring. Even though Sam didn't show his love directly to us, I know he was happy living with us and the other animals, so that does do my heart good.

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.
Thanks Karin... he was a beauty and loved to cuddle with all of them. I know he was happy living with us and at least I know he did have a good life with getting his love from the other animals... even Buster loved him!! Ironic that he and Leo died from cancer, along with my first cat, Rocky that also had mouth cancer...

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 Donna.... Leo and Sam always got along, so I know they're back together and that does easy the pain.

Thanks Bob and I truly believe that!
What a beauty, Angela! Those eyes are mesmerizing! It's so nice to think that he's in kitty heaven romping with his brothers and with no pain. Hang in there!
Angela, I'm so sorry to hear that! My sympathies are with you! As a life long pet owner, I know how you feel and it's not easy!

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...

Sorry for your loss Angela. Memories will help dull the pain.
I'm so sorry for your loss Angela. Those are such beautiful photos of your beloved pets and it is so great that you provide such a loving life for them! I know that you are truly one of the beautiful people of this world.
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
