Farewell Friend

Last weekend my cat, Freckles, died. It is really sad because my dad accidentally hit him with the car in their driveway - it was really dark and the cat just darted out in front of him! My dad was really heart broken and so the missionaries, who live there, burried him for my parents. Freckles was 16 years old and such a good cat. He will really be missed!!! Goodbye old friend!

That is so sad. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry. Losing family pets is so hard. We had to put our family cat to sleep last summer and no one in family had the heart to do it. I don't why I got stuck doing it..I'm the biggest baby of them all! I cried and cried. I think the receptionist at the vet's office thought I was coo coo (which I am).

That's horrible news. I can't even imagine having a pet for 16 years. I hope that Freckles is happy in cat heaven.

Awww..so sorry to hear about Freckles. It is true how much they become such a special part of the family.

Oh I am so sorry Amanda. That stinks. We just lost our cat Garfield this summer too (he was 14 years old). My mom found him "sleeping" way out in the field behind my parents house. So sad. Your poor dad. That hurts when you have a dose of guilt too. We're excited to get together this weekend. It feels like it's been ages since we've hung out.

oh no! That is awful:( Is Rascal still alive? Your poor dad, that would be devastating.

I'm sorry that you are sad to lose him. My kids were sad too. But I never forgave him for the scar he left on my son's nose and I'm glad you stopped me from throwing him in the pool.
