Oh, dear, @dragnlaw! I'm so sorry. I can only imagine the heartbreak you must be feeling. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Chatton. He is a beauty.

Hugs!

Dragn, I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet cat. One of our cats got stuck in our neighbor's garage a couple years ago. DH found her exactly the way TexMex described. And he had to climb in a window to get her out. (The owner, who we didn't know yet, wasn't home but another neighbor texted him to get permission.) She had been missing 3 or 4 days. I do hope you hear something soon. Hugs.

Thank you all so very much for your kind thoughts, it is much appreciated.
No, there has been no sign or word.

Many many years ago, I lived on a farm. Huge acreage. I had a beautiful, smart and hugely personable Border Collie. She grew old, and was struggling.
One morning she simply went out into the field, lay down and just passed away. It’s quite common in pets to have a wish to not want you to suffer their passing so they will try to be away from you when they become aware of their imminent demise.
I’m hoping your darling Chatton is still safe and well, @dragnlaw. The very difficult downside to being a pet partner is the reality that you will probably outlive them. It’s hard, and sad.

And yet, so worth it too.

We are having a tough night. Tonight we had to say goodbye to Chico, our best buddy for the past 15 years. We are heartbroken.

 

[GinnyPNW]

I'm so sorry, @Silversage! My heart goes out to you and know that I feel your pain. Chico is a beautiful pup and soul too, I'm sure. It sounds like you gave Chico a wonderful, long life...but I know it is never long enough. May the good memories comfort you now.

Hugs,
Ginny

Sorry to read that @Silversage. It's always hard losing fur family. As Ginny wrote, it's never long enough. My thoughts are with you.

Silversage
and more hugs, one never can say enough.

Silversage, much sympathy on losing Chico. After a while, the pain lessens, and you will start remembering all the silly, crazy, adorable things Chico did. Our pets comfort us even after they are gone.

No words, just so sorry, know the feeling.

What a beautiful and sweet looking dog. I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

[Kathleen]

Chico looks like a sweet fella. They never are with us long enough. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

I had a white Pekingese (my favorite breed) dog, her name was Doobie. Cutest lil dog ever. I hope to acquire another Pekingese.
