R.I.P.


Two days ago Ian, Eugene's older son, discovered Smoke in his favourite shady spot.
It appears Smoke lay down and crossed the Rainbow Bridge in peace.
He is now at rest on a sunny hillside next to Henrietta.
I also believe that Scat crossed the same Bridge several weeks ago, but we will never know for sure.

Rest in Peace Scat and Smoke - we love you.

Enjoy yourselves as you bask in the sunlight, pounce on field mice and chase butterflies...

  1. RIP, Smoke and Scat. A peaceful death after a long happy life is all you can ask for when you have pets.

    Sorry, Dale, I know it hurts to lose the little ones.

  2. Oh yes, Dale, I hope they rest in peace too. I hope too that they've met up with our little Holly. She was too young to go,but I hope her wandering spirit is happy now, and I hope Smoke and Scat will regain their youth and enjoy long hours in softly sunlit hills over the rainbow bridge.

    As Anne Marie says, it is very sad to lose our furry friends, but I do believe they have their own spirits that live on.

  3. Thanks for this Dale.

    It was a sad day.

    RIP Smoke.

    It's odd not having a single feline around here.

  4. Godspeed little fellows. The Rainbow Bridge sends them into fields of forever chasing mice, and birds and butterflies, and over that bridge they never get them, they all get to chase and flee and run and have fun.

    I am sorry. Sending you hugs. You gave them tons of love and a good home, and that you can feel good about. They leave one great life to another. And stay forever in our hearts.

  5. AM, it's true - difficult to part with our dear furry ones.

    And I'm sure they are frolicking with wee Holly, too, Val.

    Lee! Good to see you here. You have gone from a house full of cats to none and Smoke was with you for most of your life.

    I got your hug, Grace.

    And thank you, String.

  6. So sorry to hear this Dale. Scat and Smoke - two wonderful kitties that had full lives. Mourn their loss but celebrate their lives.

  7. Yes, Lesley, they both lived long and loved lives.

    Now there are Tnu and Beau to left to carry the torch - we are certainly being entertained by those two characters!

  8. Aw ... thinking about your loved ones. (and watching them scamper in the grass) (in my mind's eye!)

  9. p.s. Dale, your intuition was spot on, as your post about Smoke's state of health was barely 2 weeks prior to this one. Moms almost always know. ;o)
