Welcome to the Pet Memorial Group
Please have comfort in knowing that your pet is with you in your heart and memories forever. Somehow this thought gives me peace deep down, and I hope it does for you too. If you would like to light a virtual candle in your pet's name, follow this link. It's very comforting. Just cut and paste into your browser address bar if the link isn't clickable:

Dear Barbara,
I'm so sorry to hear about your two losses so close together. You barely had time to adjust after the first one before the next one. My heart goes out to you.
Both of your beautiful angels will live in spirit and in your heart forever. As you heal, they will help to guide you to a new kitty who needs to know the same kind of love they knew with you.
Please come back and tell us more about Selena and Brownie. It helps so much to tell their stories. The ttears flow, but the smiles shine through as we remember all the things that made them so special to us.
You and your angel kitties are in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Maria D. Villegas on June 19, 2009 at 11:49pm - I'll definitely sign the petition and get all my friends to sign it too. There is no forgiveness for that so called "human" except by the Almighty. May he be merciful with her when her times comes to meet him. I can only imagine the pain that poor baby went through in that oven. They should do the same to her!

I lost my beloved tabby cat (Bobby) yesterday. He was 16 years old. I adopted him at 13 weeks old from my local animal shelter. He spit at me thru the protective glass. I picked him because I figured nobody else would take him. He had kidney failure. I had him euthanized.
If you are going to adopt a pet, please pick one from your local animal shelter. They are a special breed. Thanks for the unconditional love Bobby. I love you and miss you.
