What's making you sad today - Page 2

Shawnee123 · 02-09-2011, 12:00 PM

I'm sorry, plt. I know how you feel. Two weeks ago I had to put down my 18 year old cat, Taj. She had a stroke, and it was horrible. I've had her almost her whole life. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and I was affected more than I thought possible...even though I knew she was getting so old. She was the sweetest cat I've ever known.

Gaines used to pick on her (she was pickable, like me, my brothers picked on me too) but he seems to be really missing her.

I found this pic in another thread. Maybe I'll find another one that shows off her great big bright green neon eyes.

RIP my sweetface baby girl.

It is a terrible thing to lose a pet. They are so much a part of the family ...

plthijinx · 02-09-2011, 12:16 PM

awwww! i will find some pix of fax. the ones i had on the puter got lost when i had to reformat about 6 months ago. fax was about 15. he was diagnosed with cancer only a few weeks ago. knew it was coming but when it happens....ya know....it's still way sad. so Taj and Fax are sharing the hookah in cat nip heaven together, smokin' nip and drinkin beer n whiskey! about 2 months ago paul had a whiskey on the rocks sitting on the table. Fax jumped up there and just proceeded to help himself!! funny funny! another time i had cooked ribs for dinner. Fax jumped up in pauls' lap and stole the rib he was eating and hauled ass with it!! now THAT was funny!! he was a great cat. we'll miss him.

Ha! Yeah, as sweet and shy and unassuming as Tajjy was...if you had chicken on your plate (or a hamburger or pepperoni pizza) she could move at the speed of light. I don't know how many times I said "Dammit, Tajjy."

Especially chicken, though. If there was any chicken within 100 yards her little nose would start flaring. Gaines doesn't give one hoot about chicken.

Cats, they are great.

my pets are better than 1/2 of my human family...

So sorry to hear about the kitties. May they chase the golden ball of yarn in kitty heaven.

Is OC still around or did she leave? I could tell her that the mid-life crisis thing gets better. Time takes time - which sucks but there you go.

We had an 18 wheeler hit 2 school buses resulting in 3 deaths and multiple injuries. This wasn't in my jurisdiction, but was close by so it still affects people in my area. So tragic

zippyt · 02-09-2011, 05:59 PM

I heard about that Sarge , Hows the Kids that got hurt ??

Alluvial · 02-09-2011, 06:55 PM

I briefly caught a mention of that story Big Sarge. Ackerman High School?

Big Sarge · 02-09-2011, 07:57 PM

Ackerman High, but they wrecked in Calhoun County. There are still 4 that I know of in the hospital

plthijinx · 02-09-2011, 08:29 PM

damn. what a tragedy. that's just awful.

Alluvial · 02-09-2011, 08:51 PM

Man. Hubby's deer camp is up that way. They buy their groceries in French Camp, but they go eat at Pap's restaurant in Weir.

I will keep those folks in my prayers.

Griff · 02-09-2011, 09:21 PM

Ah man, that is tough to look at.

plthijinx · 02-09-2011, 09:23 PM
