Do you know anyone who's pet outlived them?


What happened to the pet afterwards?

One of the things I find so tragic is when you lose your pet. I boo hoo'd like a little bitch when my cat died. When I think back, I have guilty thoughts like "I should have cherished the time I spent with BB (my cat) more..."

But I saw a show on cable that showed a little dog that walked to the train every single day waiting for his master to arrive. His master passed away, and the dog still had a habbit of walking to the train station and waiting for him. I can't remember when I saw it, but it was a few years ago, and I still think about that show.

Seems like the separation hurts both sides--owner and pet.

the master had 2 cats, Funky and Pépe, and Funky got run over. Pépe acted really funny after, he took a long time to get over it

He would lie on the spot Funky was buried in the garden.

that's why it's important to remember those animals at the shelter
i am sure there are lots there just because their owner died

don't some of the large birds live an extraordinarily long time?
you would know from the outset that the bird would outlive you.

It stands for Brickred Brilliance--the new Revlon lipstick shade you happen to be wearing!

You named your cat after a peice of make-up?

althom said:

If you had a dog it would be called Deefer.

(pst - say it out loud - it is a soft 'c' sound)

I'm going name my penis althom for the week.

I'm tired. I need to go play with my althom and head off to bed.

At least you gave it a powerful name to compensate.

If they have caring family, they take the pet to a place where it feel at home.

Not just simply the pet shelter. I went out of my way to find a good home for the cat of a loved one. Worked as well.

I think Winston Churchills tortoise is alive and well somewhere.

My 3 dogs are 14, 12, and 8 years old. Unless something wicked happens to me relatively soon, I going to outlive them for sure, but I'm dreading the day because I know it's getting close, especially for the oldest one - even though she appears in good health for her age now.
