Thanks Deej, Good idea, I am about to crack one right now.
Ah ya know we do our best that is all we can do. As Tjeezers said, it is sort of our place to realize that someday we must put them to rest and then carry on. There is a day for mourning but we must carry on. We never forget. But we must also carry on.
So many cats/dogs never get a home so let's remember our pets were the "Lucky" ones.
It is tough but it is life. It was this way before us. It will be this way long after us. It is just nature and to everything there is a season.
It is something that is out of our hands. Let's celebrate that one lil cat in 50,000,000 strays had a good life, ate nothing but Fanci Feast.
Let's remember, let's never forget but let's also carry on.
