I like to think I am a responsible pet owner and I really try but sometimes things happen that are out of our control.
We were urban up until 4 years ago and then when we moved to the country, I told dh that we needed to have a couple cats for mouse control.
I am beyond devestated to say the least about the kittehs. There were four kittens. One found a home by accident and I found the leg of one of the kittens yesterday so I know he has went to the Bridge and then found another kitteh this morning.
Totally freakin heartbroken.
I think hubby is tired of me calling him at work crying but wow.....I’m very heartbroken.
Hubby is starting to hate winter as well and I keep telling him I have a good friend in Texas with some land we could move to.
Lucky you to have escaped winter.
Thank you.
I’m really sorry too. It was totally senseless and tragic and cost some kittens their lives. Whomever let them out of the barn and out of the kitten corral better hope I dont find out who they are.
I know at least this one I found this a.m. was not attacked by another animal like the one whose leg I found yesterday and still searching for his body. So now there is one missing still and I’m afraid she’s went to the Bridge as well.
One of the four kittens had found a home and I’m praising God for that but at the same time I’m just heartbroken that I didnt find 2 them until it was too late.
Ours were all walk-up strays we adopted. Went to the vet for shots, snip & chip, so they have IDs. S, S & C hurts the wallet a lot more than non-pet owners realize. RFID chip was the cheap part.
It's never easy when a little one has to go over the Bridge. We cried a few tears when we had to help a geriatric kitteh go over last year...but he was starting to suffer.
No, it is never easy to help a loved pet to the Rainbow Bridge. Never.
My oldest lab is 10 and while she’s not as much of a wild child as she was in her youth , she is slowing down a little bit ( never though on the counter surfing... any food is fair game to her LOL ) and I’m really not looking forward to her end days.
I thought I was going to lose her last Christmas and I was worried about her spleen since her sire died of his spleen rupturing on his owners truck seat as they pulled into the vet office and her grandsire had his removed due to a tumor at her same age, both of them.....
But she’s okay Praise God.
Now just to find my little black kitteh. Pray for her if you would please.
