Gonzo greeted all his friends at the bridge this morning. His only hope is that Kelby saved him some of the birfday cake from the bridge party last week.

Mom Julie-Gonzo went quietly in my arms this morning. Thank you all for the glows. The only positive to all of this is that he didn't suffer for a long time. He showed symptoms only for the past 2 weeks.

BamBam and Cuddles gather around Mom Julie, wrap their paws around her neck and give her the hugs that Cuddles got his name for.

MomSharon: Julie, my heart goes out to you. Gonzo will be dearly missed. The cats are GLOWING, and I am sending prayers for comfort and peace.

Just checking in. I can't believe all the cats who have recently gone to Rainbow Bridge. Something is happening. I'm sending GLOW to all the families and pets left behind in the past few weeks. The only positive thing to say is that they are no longer in pain or are suffering.. My thougths are with all of you.

Pepper May 26, 2012 03:35 PM

::epper teerfully goes to the entrance of The Rainbow Bridge to meet hims favorite sonkit, Goose Nose. It very bittersweet moment. On one paw, it joyful to see Goose NOse and know that him out of him jaw pain and they can begin planning escapades on a magnificent level with they hubbykit, SammyWhee. They will be doing things far exceeding any's imagination and it will be joyful and hoppy to say the leest. But on the odder paw, it is a very sad and hartbreaking time, as well, for all those left behind ~ most especially for Mom-Odder-Joolie who now left to deal with her own pain and grief ~ also on a massive level.

Pepper jumps into Goose Nose's lap and snuggles up against him and whispers sweet nothings in hims ear about all the things that they can now do togedder and how they can watch those down here on earth from up above in the clouds. Pepper is hoppy to bee with Goose Nose again and SammyWhee is bringing much news from every who haff gone before so that Gonzo know all about everything beyond The Rainbow Bridge. ::::

Meanwhile, however, Mom-Julie (of Pepper, that is) is so sad and cannot believe that she now shares yet another commonality with Other-Julie in that they lost both Pepper and Gonzo in the very same year ~ just a few months a part. It seems inconceivable that that could happen yet it has. A very sad time indeed. And we send our most sincerest condolences and sympathies to Mom-Other-Joolie at this time of her collosal loss.

Kasha is leaking so bad over loosing her love, that no one can console her. Smig walks over and picks a big bouquet of mommy's roses, and goes to the memorial garden, lays them down in front of the kitty statue, in memory of Gonzo.
