A beautifully written but heartbreaking post, Drac. I'm so sorry for your loss.
As I read it, through a few tears, I couldn't help but think of our departed loved one and friend, Biff the Wondercat, the stealthy black panther (in his mind, anyway) who spent 22 (!) years with us but in the end had to journey on to bigger and better things as we all must. The bride and I were inconsolable for a month.
Bury your friend in a special place, and when your heart heals enough to tell you to, find another companion. It'll never be Fazoo...but four legs of fur and fun really helps the pain to go away.
Besides, you need someone trustworthy to tell all your secrets to.......
Leave it to Carlin (speaking of the departed) to find a smile and a chuckle in this....I loved that guy's humor.
dracul: I am so very sad to hear of your loss of the beautiful Fazoo. Your opening post was a thing of beauty. It is a terrible thing to lose a dear feline friend; I've been through it several times, but it never gets easier. Words cannot express what I am feeling about it. I know what you are going through, and I empathize entirely. You have my deepest sympathy.
