As I opened my eyes this morning I said aloud Happy Thanksgiving Mom,Dad,Moose,Summer,Spike, this was always a fun day with the furbabies, lots of leftovers, the smells made Moose in such a happy playful mood, he would grab his bear and with a smile on his face prance around. God I miss him this morning, I feel like I am on a rollorcoaster sometimes, feeling better then BOOM my soul starts aching for my boy. Oh how I loved you my Moose boy, last night I had trouble sleeping, actually yesterday was the hardest day I've had in the last week, it has been a long journey these last 6wks, I find I blk alot of things from my mind to try and keep from feeling that pain, but I can only hold them at bay for so long. So I am sure I will have a few moments today that are heart breaking....Leftovers.....Moose's favorite. I miss my boy so so much, I wish it did'nt have to be this way. Pamela By the way, Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I am thankful I found you

Dear Pamela,
I don't think we will ever get over the loss of our wonderful babies who filled our lives with love, fun, and laughter and yes even tears. I think we will just learn to live without them and we will always have some pain and the longing. My mom has been gone for almost 8 years and I still long for her as I'm sure you do your mom and dad.

Chili Bean was not here today and oh how she loved to eat the holiday dinners including a tiny piece of pie. And yet Pamela I believe they are there with us we just can't see them and we will have to take comfort in that alone.

My heart is with you and it is just so sad for all of us here that are missing our darling babies so very much. Hugs
Love, Ann

I had my huge "Thanksgiving Cry" for Luba last month when we had Thanksgiving in Canada. It's so sad to do the celebrations without our friends.

No Misty at my feet in the kitchen while I made pies and roasted the turkey...
Only one kitty at the bowl for the special holiday treats...

Baby used to cry and moan at my feet while I was preparing the big meal. Oh, it was so quiet in the kitchen today, I hated it. On Thanksgiving, I would make a plate just for her and then make a plate for my husband. He used to complain about it, but not today. All he said was " I wish I was still #2 today." He made me smile and tear up at the same time.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Linda

Dear Pamela,

I'm right there with you. This is my first Thanksgiving without Shiloh and it's been so hard. In Thanksgivings past, Shiloh and I would always spend the day together cooking and eating turkey, of course, and then she'd go with me to all my various pet sitting jobs (I'm a teacher full time and a pet sitter part time). She so enjoyed sitting in the car watching me muck out horse stalls, feed goats, feed dogs, etc., but what she most enjoyed was sniffing all the wonderful smells I was covered with when I returned to the car. I sure miss her.
