Tripper RB 7-5-08
My big furry 15 yo boy is gone. I came downstairs to feed the
herd, and he was lying on the landing, not breathing. The vet says it looks like his heart just gave out. Given that his brother went that way years ago, all I can do is hope it was quick. Now I just have a big empty spot on the couch next to me. Rest easy, big man. No one will ever fill your pawprints. I'll miss you. Chris |

miss you. Chris I'm so sorry Chris. It's always hard when they leave us for the Bridge, but it must be especially so when it's unexpected like that. We're sending purrs. Dan |

All the other beasties are in hiding at the moment. I already miss seeing his big furry face at the window when I walk up the front steps... |

Thanks, Adrian. It was. Since his brother had a heart
condition and died when he was about 3, I had Tripper monitored, but they always warned me that even though he had no symptoms, that he might go just as suddenly. I guess his brother wanted company at the bridge. Thanks for the candle. I don't think I could have set one up just yet. It's tough enough just typing...

Dear Chris,

The shock of finding him dead so unexpected must be enormous:-( Tons of purrs are coming over to heal your broken heart and to make sure, Tripper has a safe trip to the bridge.

Thanks, Inge -
While I knew that one day I'd have to say goodbye, I was still hoping for more time. Hopefully he's already found his brother at the bridge, and they are getting re-acquainted. Katie came out of hiding and sat in my lap for awhile, and I've got Hazard and Oreo to keep me distracted as well, but I'll miss seeing his furry face in the window when I come home...
