It was on my birthday so of course I had to bring him home with me.

He succumbed to kidney failure two weeks before Christmas, and that was rough. I still cry for him a lot.<br /><br />But I'm starting to feel the itch for another cat. We still have two, one (Winnie) is my husband's that we inherited from his family right after we got married, and my sister's cat (both the cat and my sister live with us).<br /><br />And while Winnie is an (obnoxious) dear who is more than happy to claim me as her other 'person', it's just not quite the same, you know? She's daddy's girl, and I need another fur baby of my own!<br /><br />We'll see if that fur baby ends up being a dog or a cat, though, lol. It could go either way at this point.<br /><br />~Rebekah Loper<br /><a href="http://rebekahloper.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Fantastical Ponderings - The A-Zs of Worldbuilding</a><br /><a href="http://fictionalferrets.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">The Rabid Rainbow Ferret Society</a>Rebekah Loperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910220361720811916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813820782645873722.post-31967554106057319432014-04-05T03:10:11.435-04:002014-04-05T03:10:11.435-04:00Aws what a handsome boy!

I've got a 13 and a half year old girlie now. She's a riot and totally stole my heart 11 years ago :)<br /><br />Happy A to Z-ing!<br />~Anna<br /><a href="http://www.herdingcats-burningsoup.com/" rel="nofollow">herding cats & burning soup</a>.Anna (herding cats-burning soup)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17422129120413380189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813820782645873722.post-43561439608770214832014-04-04T21:25:54.597-04:002014-04-04T21:25:54.597-04:00I'm so glad I eventually got this black Lab. H...I'm so glad I eventually got this black Lab. He's been a joy every day he's shared my life. He taught me that a puppy cures all manner of heartbreak. <br /><br />When the time comes, I won't wait past the next spring to get another pup. I don't want to have to take a puppy outside in snow. He might learn snow is c-c-cold to pee in when your puppy legs are short. That would seem counter-productive to the goal :)KC Kendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710305809896296828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813820782645873722.post-65273319418410653362014-04-04T17:15:24.984-04:002014-04-04T17:15:24.984-04:00Losing a furbaby can be unbearable.

I just couldn't get another dog because just like you, I didnt want to "replace" him. <br />We did eventually get another dog and this time went with a Chocolate Lab. Labs are awesome dogs too. Sadly after 5 years we lost him too. I haven't been able to get another dog since. Too painful. <br />I am thinking about getting cat sometimes this year. Not that I think a cat will lessen the loss but maybe it will be a different sort of companion for my busy life. <br />Great post and an awesome picture. <br /><br />Cheers, Michelle <br />http://anotherlookbookreviews.blogspot.ca/ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462149255674900146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813820782645873722.post-21963299867520337432014-04-04T10:46:42.211-04:002014-04-04T10:46:42.211-04:00It's all about what's best for them, not u...It's all about what's best for them, not us. Cal let me know it was time for him to go and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. But it was the absolute right thing to do. He'd started to suffer and to let that continue because I didn't want to lose him would have been true cruelty.
