| I know exactly how you are feeling...I went through an identical
scenario with my "special girl" Dachshund, "Ruby", in February...once
the failing began it was astounding to see the total
deterioration...and she also had total kidney failure.
I still miss her, and probably will always...but I also remember the
GREAT times we had..and how she really trusted and loved with no
conditions attached.. I can still see her looking at me with those big,
brown eyes..
So remember her..remember the good and the love you gave to each
other...and try to ease the loss and hurt...and TIME will help you do
that...

| Dian, I'm so sorry. I know how hard that decision, and that trip, is!
I'm still crying for my Gypsy. Maybe they are playing together now, I
have to think they are in a better place, with no pain. Your obvious
love for her led to a beautiful tribute.

| I too lost my Siamese, Ting-Ling to kidney failure after 17 years.
Your account of Tabitha brought back so much. I sit here with tears in
my eyes, thinking back to that day - but what you said is so true - all
those years of living and one minute to die - I too will remember the
living.
I am so sorry for your loss - be strong.
Hugs and stuff,

| We are sad for you - to have to say good-bye to a loving member of your
family.
As time goes by the sadness will fade and you'll have 17 years of
memories to cherish and reflect on. The tears will dry and when
you think of her you'll smile with warmth in your heart. I had a
beloved Siamese 'Benji' for 21 years so I know the effect they
have on you.
Our sympathy to all of you and what a beautiful tribute ... it brought
tears to my eyes.

| It is comforting that Tabitha died with such dignity. It is
necessary that they leave us one day. I am glad that it was a
quiet goodbye.
Tabitha will be on the Silver Lining Memorial list for next
quarter.
With much sympathy -

| John McDonough asked if I would post this reply for him.....
**********************************************************************
"Where to Bury a Dog" was written in September of 1925 by Ben Hur Lamp-
man, a journalist and sportsman. It has been blatantly plagiarized and
re-focussed around a Cat...because the principle is the same...
Where to Bury a Cat
We would say that there are various places in which a Cat may be
buried. We are thinking particularly now of a Kitty who, so far as we are
aware, never entertained a mean or an unworthy thought. This Cat is buried
beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden loam, and at its proper
season the cherry strews petals on the green lawn of his or her grave.
Beneath such trees, such shrubs, she dozed in the drowsy summer, or gnawed
at a fragrant spear of catnip, or flattened to stalk some intrusive bird,
or pounced in joy upon some unsuspecting leaf, or chased a pretty butterfly.
These are good places, in life or in death. Yet it is a small matter.
For if the Cat be well remembered, if sometimes she/he leaps through your
dreams...actual as in life, eyes sparkling, laughing, begging, it matters
not at all where that Cat sleeps. On a hill where the wind is unrebuked,
and the trees are roaring, or beside a stream she knew in kittenhood,
where she stalked ferocious frogs and grasshoppers, or somewhere in the
flatness of a pastureland, where most exhilerating cattle graze. It is all
one to the Cat, and all one to you, and nothing is gained, and nothing lost -
if memory lives.
But there is one best place to bury a Cat.......
If you bury her in this spot, she will come to you when you
call - come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down
well-remembered path, and to your lap again. And though you call a
dozen living cats to lap, they shall not growl nor hiss at her, nor
resent her coming, for she belongs there.
People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent
by her footfall, who hear no soft "mrrroow?", people who may never REALLY
have had a Cat.. Smile at them, for you shall know something that is
hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing....That the ONE
best place to bury a Cat is in the heart of it's master.....

Thank you for being able to share how you reached the decision to let
your dear friend Tabs go in peace. What a beautiful tribute! May the
pleasure you're deriving from those little successes with Sadie help
you through this time of loss.
