Today is a sad day here in the land of PEA.
We had to say goodbye to our cat Chloe. She was part of our family for almost nineteen years. Yes she was almost nineteen years old.
As a kitten she survived a fall off our third floor apartment balcony unscathed.
The year we had three hurricanes in three weeks, she accidentally got outside and survived Hurricane Charlie.
I keep looking for her on the screened porch where she lived.
I know she's at peace.
She will be missed.
So long old girl...

Shelley,
It hurts so damn much losing a pet. They are like a child & their absence is most defiantly felt. Wow, what a life (sounds like she lived a couple). I'll be thinking of you sweet friend.

I'm so sorry, losing a pet is awful a terrible hurt. It seems she was well loved and had quite an adventurous life.
Oh Shelley....I'm so very sorry about Chloe ~ these precious animals become such important members of our families. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as I know your heart is hurting, hugs and love, Dawn
Oh I hate to hear this, I know what you mean you keep thinking you see them out of the corner of your eye. It just is not fair that pets die before us, 19 years is a pretty good kitty life!

Shelley- I'm so sorry about your sweet kitty. My Allie ( her pic is on my blog) is 14 this year...I love her so much I can't imagine life without her. I've always had dogs and cats my whole life, its never easy saying goodbye. We have the memories of them, and the fact that we gave them a wonderful life when they were with us...so many furry friends don't have that. Thinking about you tonight!

The sadness and the loss is difficult - I'm sure that you will remember many happy times together.

You are lucky to have had her in your life so long. I am so sorry she has gone. judy
Shelley, I had a cat I was really close to, she survived many things, and when she was gone I so missed her. While I've had many cats through the years, they can't replace her. So sorry, I know it hurts.
Sorry to hear about your sweet Chloe. Sending healing hugs your way.
Shelly that is one of the hardest things in life. We all know when we decide to have pets, that day will come eventually, and it hurts. The only thing that helps is all the great experiences you had and recalling all the joy an animal can bring to your life. Sending big hugs your way, xoxo tami
I am so sorry! I know that nothing I can say can ease your heartache right now. Many of us have shared your sadness. Our dear pets give us so much pleasure, comfort and love. It's so very hard to say goodbye. Your Chloe had a very good life with you and knows that she was loved so very much. I'm sending you lots of hugs!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
My broken heart is crying with yours.
Debbie
So sorry to hear about Chloe...she was a pretty kitty. Our Starla is getting up there in age too...I can only imagine how sad you must be to lose your sweet friend.
So sorry for your loss:(
Abby
Shelley I am so sorry! After nineteen years it would be extra hard to have her gone. I think losing a beloved pet is hard, and especially when they've been with us for a long time. I still miss some of our now gone fur family members.
Sending you hugs today...
I am so glad you got to have your picture taken with the boys. How exciting to get to meet them!
I am so sorry about your kitty.
Losing a pet is excruciating. My dog passed away last September and he was 18 years old. I will always miss him.
Tess
