RIP Puddin'...I miss you

I had to have Puddin' euthanized on July 11th. They weren't sure of the diagnosis...so I'll just say the prognosis of the possibilities wasn't good.
I am still very sad and depressed about it. I miss him so much. He was such a funny little kid and he did love his mom and I loved, and still do love him and his antics.
It is extremely difficult to euthanize a beloved innocent companion...too hard. I am depressed and cannot seem to stop crying over Puddin'...and missing Cuddles and Ruffles.

I am separated from and lonely for Ruffles and Cuddles too, due to homelessness. I visit with them as much as possible and we are always very happy to see each other.

Presently I am using a public computer and cannot stay on long.
Maybe someday I'll have the chance to visit zootoo again.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Puddin - I have had so much sadness this year that I have not kept up on my zootoo friends. I wish that there was something I could say to help ease the sadness of Puddin's passing. I truly know how you feel and now since you do not have Cuddles & Ruffles with you, that really has to be hard. I will keep you in my prayers that you will find a home and you will be reunited with your babies. God Bless you and may he comfort you in this terrible time.

Before now, I wasn't aware of the slight of help toward homeless people. I guess there never really was help for people that are homeless. They seem to be quite resented actually...and of course the most ignorant blame the homeless for their homeless situation.

I know I resent being homeless.
And I really miss my cats.

I don't get to visit zootoo much now that I am homeless.

Thanks for your kind words.

I don't get to visit zootoo much now that I am homeless.

I should point out that there is almost NO help AT ALL for homeless people now, so I doubt there ever was help for homeless people.

Thank you for your kind words.

I haven't been here much lately. I was so sorry to read about your recent misfortunes, and poor Puddin'. Believe me when I say that I know how hard it was for you to have to make that decision. Milo is still with us, and doing okay, but I know that decision lays ahead of us, and the thought of it weighs heavily. I hope things improve for you soon and you are able to reunite with Ruffles and Cuddles.
RIP precious Puddin'.

BD, I am truly sorry for the loss of your beloved Puddin'! I know it was a difficult and painful decision but, you did what was best for him. Always remember that and the fact that he not only loved you but, he knew too!

I hope that things start looking up for you and that you can once again be reunited with Ruffles and Cuddles. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

We are doing okay! He had to have another contrast of the mass on Monday, 8/3. Now, he goes back to the surgeon on the 18th! He says he feels fine. As for his PTINR, the numbers have been great, averaging in the mid 2's! So, he has been on the same dose of coumadin for weeks. We are actually taking off for a couple of days on Sunday.

With everything we have gone through, we srapped our vacation plans for the year and decided on doing something this weekend. I hope things start to look up for you!
