More sad news (click here for more info)

After the kind of day I had yesterday, I didn't think things could get any worse, but as these things happen, Alcatraz took a turn for the worst during the night at the emergency vet hospital. He went into cardiac arrest and our wonderful kitty passed away at 2 am last night. I am writing this with tears in my eyes and have no words to describe my sadness or sense of loss. It is hard for me to believe I'll never see him again but I am consoled by the fact that Alcatraz is not suffering any longer. Thanks to everyone who has offered words of encouragement and support.

  3. I am sorry sorry for your loss.

    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.

  11. A lost pet is still in your heart forever. I have never lost the sadness for my beloved St. Bernard, Brutus, that I lost on July 26th, 1979. AlCATraz will always be with you in spirit.

    Virtual hugs,

    Judie
