1 seaoh (Smokey) My beloved dog of 16 years (17 years old), Smokey passed on June 30th of Cancer and kidney failure she is missed dearly by my wife, daughters and myself.
2 Little Sis (Whiskers)
3 Corky (Roanoke) This is Roanoke, he was our dog for 15 years and so missed by all. He was found one rainy morning in a motel parking lot (in Roanoke Rapids, NC) when we were packing to leave. We took him with us to our destination and the vet thought he was around 4 weeks old at the time and he weighed a whooping 3-4 pounds. Since we were military he moved with us a lot (to include a 4 month quarantine in Hawai’i). He was a really “good boy!”

I think my Garfield is soon to be joining these fine furry friends. He’s in a emergency animal hospital right now but it’s not looking good. Hard to walk through my door now as he’s always met me there with a brush across my legs and a plop to the ground wanting a belly rub. As a cat he’s the best dog I’ve ever had if you know what I mean.
Pets have always been a family member in our household.
Different Tim, my heart goes out to you. My Ivan was dog, too. Even played fetch. Most loving cat ever.
Thamks Claudia, I’ll be leaving here soon to go visit him. They allow a one hour visit a day with them but you have to wear a mask in the building. I’d put a condom over my head if I had to. When I visited him yesterday he laid on my lap the whole hour and slept. I’ve never seen an animal drop away so fast in a couple of weeks. My biggest worry is that I may be letting him suffer longer than necessary for my own selfishness of not wanting to lose him. Hopefully that won’t be the case.
@Claudia – Where did you get the pheasant tails?
Good Sunday Morning to all my fellow iotw pet lover’s.
Different Tim you and your ball of fluff are in my prayers today, I hope Garfield comes home to you soon.
Thank You Claudia, for sharing these photos, you are a huge kitty lover just like me, we could probably swap some memorable stories of past and present about our kitties. I wish I could of gotten some photos to you of Miss Kitty, and other fur balls of the past but I missed the deadline. Oh well, maybe next time.
@Different Tim
I feel for you. It’s not a great position to be in.
@Different Tim, my heart is heavy for you. I pray for you to have strength in this difficult time.
Different Tim–thinking about you and and Garfield and praying that you both find peace.

I had a kitty that had cancer, and it came on rather quickly. I knew we didn’t have much time left together, so the vet gave me some thing to make her comfortable and I brought her home and we laid in bed together for a couple of days. I was so glad I did that, she never left my side. I believe she knew we were going to be parting ways, 😿 but DT you will know in your heart, and for the cat’s sake when you have to say goodbye. 🕊️❤️🙏
I’m thinking of all the hours of joy those beautiful animals brought to their families. I hope all of my pets will be waiting for me at Heaven’s Gate when my time comes.

DT, I’m so sorry to hear about Garfield. My cat is also a dog and he and the terrier/corgi mix are best buddies.
Jethro, in MN. I lived near a field and found them in a pile. Something had gotten a pheasant and left just the feathers.
I loved pheasant and quail hunting with my Dad and brothers as a kid. We always had a cluster of tail feathers stuck somewhere in the house (old empty vase, at the corner of a picture frame). I can’t find them anywhere in the wild in MD anymore.
Thanks, Claudia – melancholy – but thanks.
I’m a pet lover and my heart goes out to you all.
My cat is a good boy and my best buddy!
Evenin’ everyone, wew were doing some travelin’ today, hence the late post.

Great pics and memories, Claudia. Gosh, how much we loved them, right?
@Ghost – Wow, you had a car for 18 years! Geez, that was long and also an outdoor cat!
God Bless us all!

I caught the car typo too and it was really funny. 😂

If you hear from Different Tim about Garfield’s progress, could you let us know? 🐱
Miss Kitty, don’t have my laptop to check email. It’s at Geek Squad getting repaired.
