Chuppa

[Jack Smith]

On 08-18-09 My dear little Chuppa passed awaqy in my arms at 6am before I had to go to work. Today was a awful day for me. I had to take the time and take care of my little child and give him his final resting place. All I can say is, "Chuppa my little buddy go be with Joan up at Rainbow Bridge and some day I will be there to meet the two of you and we will TOGETHER cross that bridge up in that wonderful land and have you once again in my arms purring and snuggled up sleeping ever so well like you used to do." As for now my heart is very heavy with your passing at 6 am this morning. But homey I would not have it any other way, you passed in my arms like Joan did when she passed away.

OH love my heart goes out to you at this sad time.

Do you have any pictures of your baby or maybe you can tell us what Chuppa was like.

Hey Jack...
Sad news about your furry friend chuppa. Good to know that you were with him at the time. Yes i can imagine the work day been sad. Be gentle with yourself.

Well folks,thank you for the support it helps. Sorry about the typos in it but the eyes were flooded with tears and the heart is empty. The only pic I have of my little man is posted on the page. But What I could say could possibly start filling a library shelf or two about him. Chuppa was a very gentle cat he gave nothing but unconditional love. He only asked for the basics, food water shelter and a private potty place. He got those wishes when I brought him home from the ASPCA sattelite and even more. When I first adopted him I knew he had a special diet that I had to maintain for him, not a problem a 20# bag of food ran $60.00 but it lasted for three months and I was feeding three cats with it. The vet said it would not hurt the three of them in fact it will help them out a lot better than the stuff one would get at the grocery store. Well as the years went on Chuppa and I became very unseparable he would only cuddle with me at night when I went to bed and stayed there all night long just purring and snuggled up to my chest. The only time he would move is when I would pet him to wake him up and say to him, "Treat time buddy!" He would wait until I got out of bed then walked by my side to the kitchen and got his morning treat. He ate it while I was changing the water and replacing the food they needed for the day. The I would take off to the office for a long day of paperwork phone calls and discussions. Then when I came home from work he would be in the window waiting to see me pull in the driveway with the Jeep and then would run to the door and miaow until I got in and petted him and rubbed his belly. Then I took care of the litter boxes changed the water again and replaced the food for him and the other two. Today is day 1 without him and I feel lost I did not sleep that well last night was up looking for him and I knew he is at Rainbow Bridge but my mind would not accept that. The other two somehow seemed to sense this and they curled up at my feet and both cried along with me last nisght. I could talk more of the good times I had with him but I must tend to the other two 'kids" of the house also and I must head off to work

Well today my heart was touched I felt my Chuppa was telling me that he is alright, my little girl Halloween jumped up into my lap any started to purr and snuggle like Chuppa did. I was carying alot when she did that and hugged her ever so much as to tell her thank you honey. She sensed it and just purred and stayed in my lap. Right now as I am typing she is curled up on the desk in the parlor next to the computer and just watching me and occasionaly wipes a tear or two from my face with her paw. I think she is trying to say to me, "We all all together it will be good." I just seems so hard that I cant pick my Chuppa up and give him his nite time kisses and treats like I do for the other two. Now I AM convinced they felines at times have it over us humans that they sense and react a lot faster than I could. Lessons learned. Chuppa thank you for coming by and telling me that honey I know you are safe with Joan at Rainbow Bridge, some day we will all be together once again my little man.

You were there when Chuppa passed, which is where he felt most comfortable. I am sure in his passing he is waiting for you over the rainbow bridge...and yes you will be together once again...! God Bless you and in time he will ease your heavy heart, and bring joy in knowing Chuppa is in a better place...!
