    It’s been so long since I’ve posted in this forum and I hate that it’s in this thread.

    We said goodbye to Cream today. I can’t even believe I’m typing those words. 13 years wasn’t long enough but it was his time today and I was glad we could all be there with him.

    Awh @SillyMangoX, I remember Cream so well from over the years!! I'm so sorry for your loss. Sleep tight handsome boy.

    Ah god SillyMangoX 😔 It really does feel like we all knew Cream from your posting about him over the years. It's the end of an era now... I'm so sorry.

    I'm so sorry @SillyMangoX I just saw your post in the chit chat thread so came to check in here.

    Cream was very much a Boardsie cat, I feel like I knew him from the posts through the years. I hope you're all doing ok

    To mark the passing of a cat, Sally Anne. She was found as a stray kitten shortly after 9/11. She was always a proud creature but settled well into domestic life. Goes without saying, she will be missed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,663 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    So sorry for your loss Manach. RIP Sally Anne and hugs for you.

    She had a good run, 20 plus years.

    I lost my beautiful, beautiful boy last Thursday. I'm absolutely devastated. He was my son, my best friend, my shadow, my buddy. I cant believe he's gone. Such a gentle, friendly, loyal, intelligent, affectionate soul I just cant put into words how much I miss him. I brought him with me everywhere I could. Everyone loved him.

    Awww beautiful Fudge RIP.

    Dogs have one major fault: they don't live long enough.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,335 ✭✭✭Mike Litoris


    Thanks for all the kind comments guys. It really means a lot.

    For those long time posters here you may remember I used to post a lot of pics of our Boxer Brodi.

    This morning we let Brodi go, she was 2 months short of her 13th birthday, she genuinely was the best dog ever, had a great life and we took her everywhere with us. She was utterly amazing with our 5yr old and 1yr old.

    Thinking of her now with her old pal Ozzy

    All utterly heartbroken here

    @scudzilla I remember Brodi, and Ozzy, so well! I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to her. Just know you and your family did the right thing for her, even though it's broken your hearts.

    Sleep tight beautiful Brodi and enjoy playing with Ozzy again!

    Thinking of you all.

    What a life ye gave each other Brodi looks like a wonderful friend, may she rest easy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,611 ✭✭✭muddypaws


    I'm so sorry for your loss @scudzilla she had a fantastic life with you. Take care of yourselves



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    R.I.P. Brodi , a beautiful, happy looking dog.......that pic on the sofa is pure class. The most important line is " he had a great life" ( no doubts) ....... that's what it's all about.



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,777 Mod ✭✭✭✭DBB


    Oh no 😢 Always enjoyed the Brodi stories and photos especially for the Christmas photo competitions.... very sad to hear this news. It was always abundantly clear how much you and your family loved her, Scudzilla... I can only imagine how hard her loss is. I'm so sorry 😞



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,335 ✭✭✭Mike Litoris


    Ah man sorry the hear Scudzilla. I lost my little guy a few weeks ago and know how **** it feels right now. There's nothing anyone can say to take the pain away but it does get easier with time. Take care of yourself.

    R.I.P Brody.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭sdp


    So sorry the hear Scudzilla, such a hard time. RIP Brodi

    I am so sorry, I remember times when my parents lost their dog. However, to make our life easier, we can explain ourselves our furry friends were happy staying with us.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    My beloved Jacob is gone. A rescue in his teens and a gentle cuddly giant of a cat. Allways there for new cats - and me - to snuggle with..




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭sdp


    So sorry Grace, R.I.P Jacob.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Thanks. It was a few weeks ago but I have been unable to post it. YOU KNOW! He was dumped in a new rescue aged about 2 . I was there to find a female ... I was sitting on the floor of the chalet with the rescue lady watching this big lad.. stealing water by reaching through the netting to the next pen.. although he had his own pot,, She let him out and he walked all over us.. And on the way home (!) he was trying to change gears. Just a big laid back comedian angel of a cat.. Miss you lad! Miss you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,571 ✭✭✭Heroditas


    Sorry to hear that @Graces7



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Thank you.

    Posting this I have understood something. I have three cats around. Two are the outdoor island cats and the third just does not eg come abed with me etc, Jacob was a cuddle cat supreme and at his size! WOW He would snuggle and purr..

    Maybe one of the new rescues.... Thank you as I had not realised



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,238 ✭✭✭jellybear


    Sleep tight Joel, our gentle, handsome boy. We love you more than you'll ever know. Thank you for everything. Our hearts are broken 😔




  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,777 Mod ✭✭✭✭DBB


    Ah no jellybear 😔 I'm so sorry to read your sad news. Joel was a familiar face here down through the years. He'll be sadly missed 😔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭sdp

    Hi,I haven’t posted anything here before but I just need somewhere to write how I feel

    Had to put our pet dog that we had for 13 years to sleep on Wednesday and the grief is unbearable,I just feel so guilty, we knew she was old but it happened just to quick. I feel like I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye to her, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye this is so hard. It’s crazy how attached you get to them and how much you miss them



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,622 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    13 years, of course it's a horrible loss, many of us haven't had relationships with people that long.. I miss my westie every day and it's six years since she left me.. I'm so sorry for your loss..

    So so sorry for your loss Jellybear and tenreds. 😥



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭sdp


    So sorry for you loss tenreds, please don't feel guilty. you had 13 wonderful years with her. your grief is real, the same as when any family member leaves us. you'll always miss her, but in time you'll be able to smile when you think of her. 2 years since my little man passed, still miss him, be kind to yourself x.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,014 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Coming to time for my cat now unfortunately. Have had him 18 years (more than half my life) so really don't know how to let go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,014 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Put down tonight. Probably the hardest thing I've ever done, particularly as he seemed to come back to life and started meowing and trying to claw his way out of the box after being put in.

    Been a rough week though and wasn't much quality of life there anymore. He'd just drink water, go to the toilet and eat a bit (appetite went well down and I had to handfeed). Wasn't even purring when being rubbed anymore or grooming himself.


    Rip Ember.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,622 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    @titan18 I am so, so sorry. You did something very kind for him, had him longer than most cats live so you were doing everything right all along. The pain lessens as the good memories regain some power. Rest in peace Ember
