The task no one wants to think about

I’m sorry to hear that Rustic. :-(

Hey Rick, Sandra & I are also cat / dog people, we recently lost our 20 year old Oreintal variant Ben, he sat on my knee every night for the whole 20 years so I know how you & your wife feel right now, We still have a pair of 14 yo Busmeese sisters & a Ruby Cavalier King Charles spaniel, at least your pet isnt suffering anymore.
Go Well Rick :))

Sorry to hear this Rick. I’ve had this unpleasant task several times and it’s never easy.

-- Like a bad penny, I keep coming back!

I am sure you will make a nice casket its a tough job for a pet I will likely make one in the next few years as my dog is getting up there she is 9 and has joint problems now. i am sorry for this great loss

We live, we love, we lose, we weep, but still there is love
I know your pain lost ours last year
I hope there is solace in doing what we can for those we love
God Bless

I am sorry, My Friend! I believe an animal is loved so much because They can touch someone in such a way that it turns sorrow into smiles. You can Tell Them any thing, and They will love You the same. I know how You will miss Your Friend, because I have lost My Friends the same way! I tend to think that God has made That Friend in such a way that You will gain comfort from Him, or Her! And You will see Them all in Heaven some Day! just a thought I needed to share.

Sorry to hear it, pets are a wonderful thing. Best luck on the box.

I’m sorry about your cat, Rick. It’s never always a heartbreak to loose a beloved pet.
