Run Free Sweet Sammy

Edgar's mum here: we are mourning the loss of our sweet Sammy Cat, Edgar's feline older brother.  He lived a long and loved life, but his health had declined so that I no longer felt he had much enjoyment in his days.  He was diagnosed with kidney insufficiency a couple of months ago and put on a special diet, which seemed to help at first.  However over the weekend he stopped eating and seemed to be getting worse. I decided today that it was time for Sammy to go to the Bridge. We will all miss him and can't wait to meet him at the Bridge.

    Good gravy-it's tough. We're still hurting over Casper (a Westie mix who was found wandering beside a California freeway and lived to be 18). We're not gonna mention Kenzie (a full Westie) (bridge time last October). In today's world, Sammy had it great for a lifetime. What about those who had their lives cut off because they were "unwanted and excess".? Celebrate Sammy.

      Sammy did have a great life. I adopted him when he was six and he spent 12 long and loved years with me.

    Very sorry to hear of your loss. Trying again to make contact. Pippen has Edgar as her Christmas gift exchange partner and we're hoping to get our shopping done early! Thanks.

    I just learned of Sammy's departure from Rainbow Friends and dropped by to leave you some love and rumbly purrs. Sammy looks like he was a most characterful and lovely friend.
