At the time you don't want to face the loss again but then one does find place in the heart for another.

Leia is 13,and doesn't look it. She's always been a laid back not too active cat, so there's not much difference as the years have gone by. Misty made it to 19 1/2,and Patches went to the Bridge at 20, my childhood cat (an outdoors cat!!) made it to 17.It's heartbreaking losing them...

I have 3 Sheepdogs buried in my garden at the moment, and it tears me apart still sometimes when I look at their stone. They where my big bouncy hairy loving Clan and I'm so glad to have had them in my life.This is Daniels Grave just after he passed on. He was a huge Puppy till the end.

Re: As your pet gets older....
My Hatti girl is showing signs of ageing-her muzzle is very white now and she has slowed down quite a bit, although you wouldn't think so the way she caught sight of a deer in the woods the other day and gave chase! No chance of catching up with it though-rest of walk was spent 'plodding' along She is 8.5 yrs. and I find I'm now keeping my fingers crossed that she makes it past 9 as I've lost my previous labs. before they reached that age Mags, Cassie is such a sleek cat and doesn't look her age....
