Our Goldie Boy ...

Hoovermom — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 20:33:15 GMT

has passed over today and our hearts are so sad. This is the cat that we adopted after we moved into our store a year and a half ago. He was a customer favorite and was loved by all. We took him to the vet on February 18 where he stayed for two days hoping to get his numbers up but was sent home for us to enjoy his last days. Yes, we did enjoy him. Goldie died peacefully in my DS's arms this morning.

I'm so very sorry. He sounds like a dear boy. I always enjoy visiting shops that have a cat. You just know they're good people. Hugs to you all.

He was really such a special boy. He had been dumped @ our building, having been declawed and no defense. We fell in love with him. Yes, he gave us lots of love and we are so grateful that he did not suffer. Thank you.

It sounds like you all rescued one another. God bless you for saving him; he sounds like a wonderful cat full of love, a love no doubt lavished on your family most of all -- and he'll no doubt forever live on in your hearts, too.

Our family's prayers for your comfort and peace are with you and the community of your store as you all come to terms with such a heartbreaking loss.

Godspeed, Goldie -- the newest of kitty angels!

Thank you so much. We buried him tonight in the back of our shop with customers with us. He was an unusual cat and will be missed. Love that you mentioned that he is one of the newest kitty angels!!!

Hoovermom--I am so very sorry about Goldie. My heart aches for you and all those who loved him. It sounds like you all needed each other and found your way to one another--I hope that your loving memories of the joy you gave one another helps heal your heart. Goldie is now safely over the Rainbow Bridge--happy and healthy.....and playing with all of our dear furbabies who now live there--taking care of one another until we can all be together again. I wish you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your beloved kitty,Goldie. I know that his amazing presence in your lives will be deeply missed.

Divine Intervention meant for you to rescue that precious boy and to give him the loving home that he deserved to have.

Please find solace in knowing that Goldie is at peace and is now happily running like a kitten with all of his new friends thru the sunlit meadows of that most blessed place on the other side of The Bridge.

Hoovermom...Sorry to hear about the Loss of your Fur Baby Goldie

Re: Our Goldie Boy ...

My Dear Hoovermom,

It has been a while since we cyber chatted, and I have missed you!

My heart is so very heavy with sadness, as I can feel your pain, and am so sorry your precious Goldie Boy went to "Rainbow Bridge".

Please accept our deepest condolences on your loss!

I too have unfortunately had to put to rest 12 pets through the years for various health reasons, and it always hurts so much.

"No one wants to see their beloved pet suffering with no hope in sight."

Hoovermom please I pray you and your loved ones do try and take it easy now, and give yourselves some time to come to terms with your loss........Then if you all agree and feel it is the right time to begin looking for another pet to fill your lives with love, and gratitude again,.....go for it.

The shelters today need loving people with kind hearts who can adopt a pet and give the pet a very loving safe home.

Pets are like our children, and we love them very much!

They give so much and ask for very little in return dear friend, so you will all know when the timing is right, and if not then remember you all gave all you could to those pets you had loved, and were blessed to have in your life, and God shall reward all of you for your many kindnesses in caring so lovingly for his creatures.

I am sitting here on your thread and crying. I can feel your loss and also recall all of ours.

Phillip came over and wanted to know why I was so upset....He read the thread and also sends his condolences, healing prayers, and best wishes for all of you.

He said to gently remind you Hoovermom that when God closes one door, another one opens....

God Bless you all, and please know "Rainbow Bridge is a wonderful place"....and I believe all our deceased beloved pets are enjoying everlasting life there, and that's a good thing to remember........it somehow helps heal our heart and pain, and replace it with God's true acceptance and comfort......and knowing we will a;; eventually join them in eternal everlasting life..... only adds more hope and comfort to all of us.

I hope this comforts you all, my dear friend, and may God hold you all in his healing hand, and know you are all in our daily healing prayers....

RainbowBridge.com

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Thank you so much. Yes, he did need us and we were to blessed to have him in our lives. It is comforting to know that he is now healthy and happy and released of the sickness he had. He was so special. We never knew the love that a furbaby could give and now we understand perfectly what others have talked about.

You are so right about that. DS was bitten by Goldie when we first moved in and took the rabies shots and would not turn Goldie in to the animal control people. He is allergic to cats and has taken a pill for over a year and a half to live with Goldie. That is how committed we were to Goldie's love and care. He would gladly do so for years to come......Yes, he is free and happy today making all new friends. Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you! It was hard watching Goldie's life slip away, but we knew he would be released from his sickness. We are so thankful that he slipped away peacefully in DS's arms and did not suffer some of the horrors of other furbabies death. He is free today!!!
