Jude, your sad story brought tears to my eyes.  What an ordeal it must have been for you!  I'm glad your neighbor was around to accompany you to the vet's office and that your sister and mom offered support, too.  But most of all, I am thankful that Brokie is there to comfort you now and that you are there for Brokie, too.  (It's not good to be alone at sad times.)

So, "Sayif" means summer!  I kind of thought it might be short for "Say if your there."

I'm so very sorry for the loss of Sayif. My thoughts are with you, I know how much it hurts.

(((j.U.d.E)))


Please forgive me for otherwise staying away. This just hits too close to home right now given the situation for my own old and currently ailing dog, beloved companion of many, many years.  :-\

That's what I thought for a while too....!

Firstly Marge & Mikalea - sorry to hear bout your dogs.

Jude - I was really worried about Skimble for a while but I learned it was cruel to keep him inside when he is so used to being an outside pet. And like you say, Brokie wont travel far for the moment... he'll be picking up on how you're feeling too and want to make sure you're okay.

{{{{{{{MIKAELA!}}}}}}} - I send you my thoughts of strength and kisses! Hang in there. Cuddle your dog and carress him. It will comfort him. And you.

Elle, hugging you back! Thank you for always being there. My neighbour is such a sweet lady. She is living alone now and her daughters keep wanting to giver her a cat, but she refuses. She is too afraid of the pain and sorrow of losing a cat. .. I am sorry that she had to see Sayif and go through this tragedy.

Kelda, you are right. I didn't (couldn't) keep Brokie inside this night. She was so restless. I don't know what is going through her mind, but she seems to check out every little sound she hears.. She does come back quickly from her night strolls though. During the day she sits on my lap regularly, purring, sleeping. Now she is sleeping on the ironing board and I check on her every 30 minutes or so and she instantly starts purring when I arrive. She is so strong.

j.U.d.E., to choose a photo of Sayif for the banner, I started at the beginning, and went through the entire thread, and was going to pick this photo too, but then decided to go with the one with BBM picture in it.

They are/were/are THE most photogenic cats.  Even with the very sad parts, I find this thread so joyous and satisfying.  Thank you for sharing the beauty you live with, with us.

Hey j.U.d.E.

Thank you Elle!  :-* That clip is so sweet! The kid sings better than I do and he's still wearing diapers! Great rock future ahead, surely!

I am ok-ish. Brokie has basically been outside (night and day) for the last 2 weeks.. and hasn't eaten much. She seems 'happy' though, but is always on the look out.. Yesterday, though, for the first time, she was inside my flat, when I came home.. AND she has been eating tin food again (hand fed though..) instead of only raw chicken. Maybe she is starting to calm down.. It is very sad though, to see her on her own all the time. She sure misses the company and Sayif's presence (.. I'm tearing up again.. I thought that I was done with that...) and all the noise he made.. Really sad..  :'(

I am going home now (lunch break) - have been doing so for the past 2 weeks, to check on her.
