Caspar...My Friendly Ghost..

A difficult decision to make but, the right one for Casper, I'm sure.Very sad all the same.

Oh Sue,I am so sorry to read about your lovely Casper..I'm glad he is at rest,and not suffering..You wouldn't have wanted that for him..His favourite spot in your garden,is a lovely resting place for him xx

Oh Sue I'm so sorry ,we went through the same agony when we lost our ' Marmalade ' Casper knew he was a very much loved member of the family , I'm sure like us you will often think you've seen him in the garden in his favourite places , sleep well Casper xx

Very sad one reason we won’t have any more pets difficult when they reach that time.

caspar was loved and still is ....

So sorry to hear about Caspar, Lincslass. It's such a difficult decision to take, but I'm sure it was the right one.

So sorry Sue, the right decision I'm sure xx

Sue, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss of Casper. I know exactly how you feel because I went through the same thing with my beloved Tommy. He was born in my closet and I had him for his full 15 years. The whole neighborhood 'adopted' him as he was welcomed everywhere. Tommy was savagely attacked by a group or rogue dogs and could not be saved. After 6 months, I went to the animal shelter and rescued Costello from death row. That was the perfect solution - death took one, but I rescued another...and Costello knows it.

Thankyou all, I know in my heart that it was definitely the right decision for him, its just the shock of it happening so quickly, Caspar showed no signs of being ill except in the last few days, the sad thing is that we expected it to be Morgan that we would have to take next, he's my daughters choc/lab 13yrs old now and time is taking its toll on him, we touch him in the mornings to see if he is ok, poor lad is blind in one eye, deaf, very wobbly at times and has reached the sleeping all the time stage, doesn't want to be with us or Brynner for more than a few mins at a time and barks to be allowed back into his bedroom space in the utillity, however he is eating and drinking properly and has no problems controlling his toilet, we keep hoping he'll go in his sleep but being realistic that is not going to happen and one day soon we'll have the decision to make again....

I am so sorry to read about your lovely cat. Very hard for you and to have the worry about your daughter dog as well. The violets are a lovely idea. Take care Jen

Oh Sue I am sorry. Such a difficult decision to make and so heartbreaking.

The worst thing about having pets is how short a time we get with them. But they don't half make life grand with their silly antics. I hope You, your daughter and Morgan can enjoy whatever time he has left with you.

Oh dear Sue, I had quite a lump in my throat as I read your Blog. I know only too well how heart wrenching it is to loose a much loved pet this way, we lost our little Tigtwo in similar circumstances.

I'm glad you're able to have Casper there in the garden, The pansies and violas are a lovely touch to his favourite spot.

Sorry to hear this Lincslass.

Poor old chap - its usually kidneys with the older ones isn't it, and always a heartbreaking decision to realise the time has come for an end to suffering - but the house feels so empty for a while. Bless his little grumpy face. The hebe will always be special now.

So hard saying goodbye to our furry friends Lincs.. Casper was lucky to have lived with such an loving friend...xx

I am very sorry to hear you have lost a dear friend but you will never forget him and have so many happy memories of him to share with the family and friends.

Sorry to read this news Sue ... take comfort that you gave him a good home for many years.

Oh Sue love xxx

So many lovely Goy pets playing over the rainbow bridge. .....imagine them all frolicking together in the sunshine ?

Thankyou, I like to think he's happy with Malik over that bridge, have to keep that picture in my head, he wasn't actually an old cat really, only 9yrs which as the vet said is not old for a cat really, we think it was possibly in his genes as his sister died from the same problem two years ago....

So sorry Sue - but you did the best for him - it is a terrible decision to make - kind regards - Jane

9 is young as you say, one day the'll understand the role genetics play I'm sure.....
Much more than we imagine I think

So sorry Sue, very sad

Hello sorry for your loss sue we know what it's like to lose a family member much love xxx

Sue I am so sorry to hear about Caspar. Your garden will seem very strange now, but you'll always have happy memories of your friend. I send my deepest sympathy :o) x

You must be feeling so lost without him. He will always be close by to those who loved him the best of all.

I just keep going back to that second picture and wanting to pick him up and give him a purry cuddle. What a grand pusscat he was. Thank goodness for the invention of photography.
I still miss our dear Chester five years on and two cats later...some of them just leave a permanent hole in the heart.

Thankyou all, I do miss him, he was such a loving cat and never very far away whether I was inside or out, shared my chair every night and had a habit of headbutting me if he thought I wasn't paying attention, we still have Tipsy who is 18yrs old now but she is a stroppy female who ignores us except at mealtimes, my daughter has Toffee, he is nearly 2yrs old now, a very playful lad and also very affectionate but somehow Caspar just had that special way with him, probably because he was brought up as a housecat and has left a huge gap....
