Kali, you have lived a long life with dignity and fiery tortitude (that's tortoiseshell catitude, in case you aren't familiar with the term). We feel the richer for having known you.
Your mom is heartbroken and needs all the comfort we - meaning the blogosphere - can give her. Your brothers and sisters Tyler, Cookie, Sophie and Jake are missing you too. Our tears haven't dried from Storm leaving, but that does not diminish our tears for losing you. You are missed and will be remembered.
Kali - June 14, 2008
Blogging sometimes seems like a little laughter and a lot of tears. We come to care about others, so every loss brings personal pain.
A number of our furry friends have passed recently and although we have left messages for their families on their blogs, we have not mentioned them on ours. So we are going to do that now - to the best of our pitiful memories, as we know there have been more but we can't remember them all at this moment. If we forgot to include yours, please let us know.
Be happy and celebrate the lives of each of these fortunate furbabies because they lived much or all of their years surrounded by such love that when it was their time, those that needed it were helped to the bridge to save them further pain and suffering. Young or old, expected or unexpected, each loss leaves an empty place in our hearts that can not be filled.

We know Wildcats3 (now the cat/dog log) lost one but we can't find the information on their site. We might not remember details, but we do remember.
We did not know Kali well, but it makes us very sad. Purrs, Yaffa & Sebestian

ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to remember....

That is very sad, but you cannot have laughter with saddness. It is the ones left behind my heart goes out too.

I think after the passing of Oliver last year and then even more this year with Archi Ann's passing I have realized what a wonderful blogging community we really do have. We all love each other and cheer each other on and hurt for each other. Thank you for taking time to remember all our little critters that have left. Storm was a beaut and though I didn't know Kali I know the ache her family is feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am catching up after being gone and switching computers and saw you found Pet's Garden Blog... glad you're praying for her too now! She's a terrific Christian lady, I've chatted with her a few times on the phone, and her humor in spite of the pain and frustrations she's going through is a testimony to us all of the triumph of Joy in the face of hard circumstances. A real glory to God.
blessings to you Jan!

ps LOVE absolutely LOVE the new banner pic!
It's so sad to hear of Kali's loss and all the others that you listed on your blog. My mommy just lost her precious Clive in January, so we know how painful it can be. Extra hugs to all those out there hurting from the loss of loved ones.

I finally got my post done on my goodies exchange package, come and see, if you want too
ReplyDeleteDeetz
Squeekers taste pretty good, just don't swallow them, okay....
ReplyDeleteCharlotte got her own package of cookies too...she is just really really shy, but she is getting so much better...she guards her food like it was gold too. I think she has had to fight for food before she came to live with us, but she is getting better and starting to learn how to play and stuff

Mentioning all these with their pictures was so kind of you! It's so hard to lose a pet.
