Laurie (LDG): I've never had a pet as an adult. I never got to say goodbye to the family dog growing up as he died while I was in college. I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one. I am, so far, very blessed. But you & Mike are blessed in a very different way. You had the blessing of Shredder.
I don't really know why I'm so moved - I keep sobbing like a baby each time I revisit the Shredder post and as I write now. I guess it's because you helped me through first helping our stray and then the feral family here, and you walked me through adopting our two incredible kittens. I guess this is as appropriate a place as any to thank you for that. Shredder was so blessed to have such a great mommy and family, and we have all of you in our prayers.

Jeanie: Shredder was yours for a little while, but you shared him with your friends, and we grew to love him too. Right now we all are feeling your pain. But someday, when the pain eases, you will have the rest of your life to remember all the endearing qualities that brought a smile to your face. I hope there is lots of paper to play with at the Rainbow Bridge, so that he can have fun until you're together again. I'm sure he'll be a joy to all of heaven and cause the cherubs to laugh. God bless. Jeanie
