Hello Again - Meet Nancy And Sebastian, Just checking in on how everyone is Options

[gillian]

I'm sure a lot of members might remember me; I joined after losing my beloved dog Bono to heart failure in October 06. You might also remember me as I posted when my beautiful cat Darcey went missing in September 08. I'm just updating on myself and would love to hear how everyone is.

Sadly, Darcey never came home, and we have now given up the search for her, after 4 months of walking the streets, calling her name, putting posters up on most lampposts, leaving details at every vet and rescue centre within miles. But she is gone and we have been forced to accept it. I still call her name occasionally when I'm walking my dogs and I still feel a little hope when I hear a miaw in the distance which sounds so much like hers did. But I couldn't keep on with the hard searching forever; I have a baby son, and other pets at home to think of, and so it is with great sadness that I say that I have finally accepted that I'll probably never see her again and that she is most likely dead, although I still pay her pet insurance in the hope that maybe we'll find her. But it's only a matter of time before I cancel it. She was microchipped though, and that always gives me hope.

Sasha (my 6-year-old cat), Nieko (my Cavalier) and Coveu (my Jack Russell) are all very well. You might remember my getting a new kitten Sebastian too a few months back; I posted photos of him playing with my son. He's a massive big tomcat now, the king of all cats in the neighbourhood and the biggest cat I've seen and still only 7-months-old. We also welcomed a new Cavalier puppy Nancy into our ever growing household of pets; she's 4-months-old and gorgeous.

So I now have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds and 3 fish. And 2 gone but always remembered and loved and part of me.

I've posted a photo of Nancy and Sebastian (Sebastian is a little woozy in the photo as he had only just been neutered earlier in the day - he's only 5-months-old in the photo and already huge) I look at Nancy and Sebastian playing together and it reminds me of how my dog Nieko and Darcey used to play together. I had them as puppy and kitten at the same time too. Poor Darcey.

Anyway, how is everyone and everyones' furbabies???

Wow...they are beautiful! Of course, we remember you and welcome back. You gotta know after seeing my avatar, Little Guy, that I love black kitties and Sebastian just makes my heart skip a beat and Nancy looks so tiny next to him..what a precious girl.

I am sorry you did not find Darcy but like you said, she is microchipped and I had posted a story about a microchipped cat being found after 13 years ...so you just never know. And Bono, I remember how devastating that was.

I am glad to hear about and see your new family. New memories and old memories can fit together in a family like a glove.

My new boy, Lucky, who I adopted from a shelter is considered about 3 years old so he had taught himself most things. He looks a lot like my Little Guy and what these babies all have in common is that special love you feel from them....it is like no other. I have had him just over a year now. I still miss my boy very much but it is very nice to be able to hug another...I don't like empty air.

I wish you and your family much happiness.
