I lost my precious Gypsy the third over 3 years ago and my heart still hurts, I did everything I could to save her. She had two surgeries and many trips to the vet, she was 11 years and 4 months old when she went to heaven, I still talk to her and cry. I recently lost her brother Dusty Bear the cat he was almost 15, he to was very sick but I took care of him till the end which was August 20, 2006 I had to put him down also but I told him that Gypsy would be waiting at the gates to greet him. Putting them both down was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I still talk to him and I cry and I kiss his little paw that the vet put in a little heart pottery, that is his little paw print. My husband said it was just an animal but to me they were my babies and I Love them just as much as my human babies who are not babies any more. I just miss them teribly. I know that they are in heaven because God created them too and I know that he wants them back with him just as he wants us back too. I Love You guys!!!Mom
