Cousin, I wish there was something I could do to take the hurt away, but there isn’t. You and Vic are the exceptional pet parents that we all aspire to be one day, and I hope that tradition continues when the time is right.

You know as well anyone that there are absolutely no words. Vic and I will just have to ride it out until we can laugh together at the pure joy Cleo brought us.

Gene, Sounds like you gave Cleo so much love and care, and that she had a good life with your family. May she be free from pain and bounding through the world beyond.

Cleo won the Lotto when we found each other, Yvonne. She had a great life and lots of love from so many people. We should all be so lucky.

A great tribute to a great friend and member of your family, Gene. Deepest sympathies from Sue and me. We've gone through this too many times and I've yet to figure out a philosophical approach to their deaths that eases the pain. Our furry family members are just so damn dear.

There are simply no words that work, Mike, when we lose such sweet souls.

I clouded up reading your message. I agree with Carlin except there is nothing “little” about the tragedy waiting to happen.
