Loss

Photobucket
I’m at a loss for words. We had to say goodbye to our sweet Pancake on Thursday.

I took him to the vet because I knew something was wrong. 
He cried in the car, but purred when I held him at the office. My sweet boy.
Never did I imagine that I would be coming home without him. We were not prepared for this. He was only four years old.

The day he died I woke up with him next to me. I will never forget that.

Pancake, you are missed beyond words.

Give your pets an extra squeeze for me tonight.

    Oh goodness Julie I am so so sorry for your loss. I know how pets become a member of your family and it's hard when they leave us. Try to remember all the love you gave him and how great of a life he did have with you that he couldn't have had with anyone else.
    I'll be thinking of you today

    Oh, I am so sorry! It is so hard losing someone you love. We had to put two of our pets down last year, so I know exactly what you're going through, but only four years old- that's so sad! Poor baby Pancake, you will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

    Julie I am so sorry that just hurts my heart to hear that. I know how hard it is to loose a pet unexpectedly and suddenly. Words can't even express it. Pancake is about the same age as my babies… they're getting lots of treats tonight! Thinking of you.. hug your other babies lots!

    I am sitting here crying at work right now. I am so sorry Julie, there just aren't any words. Animals are like children, and it was obvious how loved Pancake was in your house. I'll be thinking about you this week, and I hope that Henry and Wrigley give you extra loving this week.

    The Cake was one of a kind and he will always have a special place in your heart. You didn't have a lot of years with him but they were good years and you took good care of him. He so loved you.
