craftyhunnypie Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Huge hugs to you both - I have tears running down my face reading this. I know exactly how you feel as we lost Holly back in November (our 12 & half yr old cat). Then recently Frenchie (our stolen chicken who met a grim end) With having no children they were family members & it still hurts loads to think of them. Hugs.

Gamebird Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So sorry to hear about Sasha. It is so hard to lose a faithful companion. It still have the ashes of my two Labradors in my sitting room with this poem beside them which helped me come to terms with their passing. The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail and weak and pain should keep me from my sleep, Then you must do what must be done, For this - the last battle - can't be won. You will be sad I understand, Don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, What is to come can hold no fears You'd not want me to suffer, so. When the time comes, please let me go. Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me ‘til the end And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree it is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you Who has to decide this thing to do; We've been so close - we two - these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears.
