Re: Digest Number 2131

Hi --

Your note really touched me. This last Monday I also lost my cat-Willow. She

had been with me for 19 years and she was the most gentle and loving soul. She

loved being in the sun, so I buried her on the south side of the house - her

favorite spot.

I'm glad you like Vermont - I live in Maine and have been to Vermont before

(usually around Middlebury) -- beautiful country.

Well, take care and hope you and your are well.

Patti

Hello all.

My name is and I occasionally read and even write (not

lately) on the CEDA list when I am in one spot.

we have moved to Vermont and are slowly settling in. We have been in our home

for one month now and it is still a disaster!

I really like it here and think it will be a good thing, for a couple of

years. It is different and I believe I am understanding the reason why I am

here!

I am writing tonight for 2 reasons...I met and her Mom at the Ceda

picnic and loved her so much. As Jill said she was radiant and of course bound

and

determined to have her baby. She gave the world a beautiful baby and shared

her joy and love with so many of us. My heart is breaking for her family.

Today after 15 years at 9 this morning my dearest friend was also sent to

heaven. It was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. OB (my

shitzu) is now out of pain and is suffering no more......Our tears are flowing

with

loss everywhere.

Life is difficult. Life is a gift. A courageous humans life has been taken

for a reason we will never understand. A faithful and loving dog has been

given the last gift of love I could have given him the gift of love and a gift

to

suffer no longer.

In ways you cannot compare a humans life to an animals life. But in my heart

the hurt and the lose is equally painful. To the families of these

angels.....be at peace as you know that the joy of memories will remain inside

us all

forever more.

Thank You Jill for another year of CEDA.

Love
