I'm sorry for your loss and I know how it feels like to lose a pet you think of as more. I lost my little dog Casper after a long battle with illness. Even though he was 16, he didn't want to let go until I had no choice but to take him to the vet and have him put to sleep. He was my child and I held him closely after he died. I know your baby really loved you. She's a little angel now.

I am very, very sorry to hear about Iona. She was indeed a beautiful, beautiful girl. They are our sisters, brothers, and children-only they wear fur.

I know all too well, what the pain of losing a dear friend is like-I lost my Jack Russell two weeks ago. It does get easier as the days pass, but it will take time to heal.

I'm so sorry. Don't ever feel you don't have the right to grieve because your loss was not a human. All of us who have lost or even love a pet will understand what you are going through!

Yes I agree.

I have always struggled with pet losses- I cried for 2 days solid when my little hamster died! I once vowed never to have another pet, as I couldnt their deaths. I did though of course- I couldnt turn down homeless souls.

My thought are with you at this sad time (F)

Sorry about your loss. You were very lucky to have Iona, and she you. My beloved dog passed almost a year ago and I'm still inconsolable. I want to believe that these friends go to heaven, since they never did anything bad, unlike us! I cannot believe God would make such loving creatures and not want to take them back to himself. Perhaps someday we'll see them again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am a dog person instead of a cat person. I have a little shih tzu who may be having seizures. She is at the vet this morning as I'm typing this. I am so scared for her and could not imagine what it would be like to lose her. Again, I'm so sorry. (F)

Just couldn't stay my @ss away!

My thoughts are with you and all of Iona's family members (human and feline).

I am not a practicing attorney. I have a law degree and I passed the bar exam, but am not admitted to practice because I got a job in legal publishing and haven't gotten around to applying for my license yet. Publishing is great, but it does not make you qualified to give legal advice. So I don't. I just want to get married to my fella, which is why I'm here! If you need legal help, seek the advice of a licensed attorney.
