Another day not seeing your face
Another day my heart breaks

Another day that your not here
Another day of tears

Another day of feeling blue
Another day without you.

Hi Poops it's Mom, Can't stop thinking about you. I couldn't remember much of that last day I saw you happy and healthy, and I'm sorry for that. The next day you were so hurt and I tried so hard to get you help. I remembered you tried to tell me something on the way to the hospital that day, I didn't know what, and I'm sorry. The day after that we said goodbye, a day I'll never forget. I should have stayed with you instead, I let you go too soon, and for that I'm so so sorry. You haven't come to me in my dreams, is it because I'm thinking of you too much? I'll be paitient. I miss you more than words can describe. I love you baby, Mom..

Ann,

I know your pain and emotions and running high. You don't have to wait for a dream. He is with you always. I have waited for a dream of Sissycat. None for me yet either. I believe they do come to us in different ways. Some people do have the dreams, some people can hear their furbaby, and some people can feel them. I got to feel her brush up against me a couple days after she had passed. That I will NEVER forget. Yes, be patient maybe soon it will happen.

Hugs and keep posting to us and your Angel Poops!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, the dreams will come when you least expect.
It's strange, I've had about twelve or fifteen dreams about Monkey since she passed, thats more than I've ever had about anyone.
All good but one was a little disturbing.
One thing I recommend is to write them down once you do have one so you don't forget. Unfortunately I didn't do that.

Thanks Sissycat and Monkeys Daddy, I know in time the dreams will come. I just miss him so much and want to be with him again. I've come close. In a few I've had I've asked someone where he was and they tell me, but when I go look for him I end up waking up. Don't understant it. I had 2 previous cats. 20 yrs have past since they left. When I dream of them, they are never together. They were for 6yrs on earth. Always seperate. I still, to this day will wake up from one of those with tears on my face. I'm due to see them too. Thanks again for your encouragement.. Sweet dreams.. Ann

Ann, I can feel your pain so well it hurst me too 'cause you know am there. The time will come around you when you least expect it, some people can feel their Beloved Furbabys around and dream about them and even hear them too, I, am one of the lucky ones who first heared Buster panting three wonderfull times once a few days after he past, I was all alone in my basement where there are no other Dogs, no windows, no TV on, no radio on, no fan, no body eather and I remember I was sooo sad that I was feeling sorry for my self thinking how could I let my baby go? and now what? At the time I was a total mess 'cause I thought we did not deserve this and out of no where just thinking about him and crying out loud heared him panting three sweet times like telling me Papa please don't cry am here am okay and that was wonderful have no words to describe it yet, I wish there was more of that but it just happened only once then after that he has come to me only in dreams but not as much as I want too, please remember him strongly and wait for his signal, always here for you, Jorge Click to view attachment

Dearest Arthur, you and your Mommy Ann shall Really be reunited That "One Sweet Day!" Mommy Ann wants to sing you a song. Okay? Please listen to your Mommy, Most Beloved Precious Cherished Arthur!

Hey, Sweet Arthur Kitty. Your Mommy Ann has another song she wants to sing to you and it's even better! Your Hearts will Always Go On! Please, listen to your Mommy again, Okay? Here ya go, Precious Fur Child Arthur!

Hi Jorge, I did read your story b4 in another tread. It brought me to tears. I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart for you. What you heard was most definitely true. It does come out of no where when we least expect it. I thought I heard Arthur's meow once, so clear. The other night I was making a sandwich and I felt a tickel on my leg. I looked down expecting to see Piper. There was nothing there, nothing I rubbed against, at least not that I could see. Instantly I said with a big smile "hi Arthur" I know that was you". I love the signs, it's how I began here at LS, funny, I go in my back yard everyday, and have never seen that cat since, even when Arthur was with me did I ever see him. So strange. Jorge, Buster is never far from you, and I hope he pokes thru the fog from time to time so you can hear and feel him..Ann

Hi Dottie, Thank you. I got the songs. I didn't think I had anymore tears left!. So beautiful. You truely are an Angel. You know, I've been trying to find a reason for all this. Always questioning why with all that has happened. (I've also been experiencing difficulties at home and work too) this is by far the worst of my problems. Anyways, if I can find 1 good thing that has come of this, is the most kind hearted, understanding, compasionate people I have found on this site. Complete strangers, yet somehow we cling to eachother like we've known and trusted all our lives. This place, these "friends" I will never ever forget!..Hugs.. Ann

Dearest {{{{{{{Ann}}}}}}} Please be sure to read the PMs I sent to you yesterday. I think there are three.

Tons of Hugs and Lotsa Love!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Ut Oh, Dear Sweet Ann, time for me to come up with something else. Even though I think you'll get a teeny tiny smile out of the "Don't Worry! Be Happy" song I posted in your PM with those funny, funny fur kid kitty cats. Here I go >>>>>>>

Tons of Hugs and Lotsa Love to You and Your Precious Fur Baby Angel Arthu!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

PS. Oops! I sent you the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" Song. Not the other. That will be next.

Hi Poopy Do, It's Mom...Last week I was listening to a talk show and they had a psychic on..Well, someone called in about not having any dreams about thier loved one and she said to say a prayer b4 bed "Please God send (insert name)Arthur to me in my dreams tonight. So I thought I'd give it a try. Nothing happen. The other night, you must have heard me beg for a visit. I told you I needed to know you if you were ok and happy. I received your presence in my dream last night. It wasn't long, but I got to hold you again Dave and I were catching a taxi somewhere. It was dead of winter, lots of snow and ice on the ground. I got in the cab. I remember feeling awful about leaving you behind. Then Dave walked over and said "look who I found"..You started to trot away and I called to you"Poops, come see me" and you hopped in the cab and I hug and kissed you and said" I haven't seen you in so long". Next thing I remember we were in some sort of a function hall, and you were chasing a little orange ball across the room. You hated that ball or any ball in life, so I don't understand that part of it. Maybe to let me know you were having fun.. It comes on the 4mo of your anniversary. Please don't wait too much longer to visit again sweetie. I miss you every minute of every day. And someday I'll let you know when my tears stop.. Love you Baby...

Oh My Gosh!!! {{{{{{{Ann}}}}}}} You got visited by your precious fur baby Arthur!!! I'm so elated for you because you wished for it so badly, it didn't happen and then ... Wow!!! You may think me daft but I really do believe you were visited and it was more than just a dream. Hand to my heart.

Your darling Arthur loves you Sooooo Much that he visited you!!!

Yes, we miss them. My God. How we do miss them. Please know you are in my daily thoughts and prayers as is your beloved, treasured fur child Arthur!!!

Tons of Hugs and Lotsa Love!!!
Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Hi Arthur, missing you terribly still. My heart doesn't seem to want to heal. I never wanted to lose you baby, I never wanted to lose you..hugs and kisses and loves.. MomClick to view attachment

Ann:

I love this picture. He is just beautiful!

Sometimes it seems like this ache will never lessen.

But we are so glad we have pictures....it's like having a little bit of them still with us.

Hugs,

Judy

To think at one point a co worker made me feel guilty of taking so many pictures of him. Now I find I just didn't take enough 112 to be exact. I find myself tweeking some of the ones I have (like this one) just to have more. I never thought I'd take it this hard. I never thought I'd be crying everyday for months. The worst is when I'm over Dave's. I find myself looking at all the places he laid, or sat, or slept. The minute' I get in the car to leave, I lose it. It's so very hard as everyone here knows all too well...Ann

Hi Poops, Well here we are another 8th of the month. That makes 5 so far without you. It hasn't been easy. I hope you are well and happy as you were in this photo. It's one of my favorites. I wish it came out clearer but I was laughing at you. It was Feb 3, 08. You were having so much fun and being so silly. You wanted my full attention. It was our "the day we got you" anniversary, 2 yrs that day. I only wish I knew what lied ahead. You will always be my #1 boy. xoxo...MomClick to view attachment

PS. Ann, I made a boo boo so want to tell you what happened and show you what I'm working on. I so badly wanted to have something here for you when you come on line again so here's what's in the process until the "grab colors" feature stops acting up ...

1. First I resized, enhanced, "grabbed" exact fur colors for around eyes and made pupils ...
But it's too small ...



So ... 2. This is what I'll be working with now but gotta wait a while cuz the "grab colors" feature is acting up on the program. Well, I've already resized it larger, enhanced with contrast, brightness, sharpening and so on but I want very, very much to "grab" Arthur's exact fur colors to draw around eyes and give him pupils in his eyes like in the one I resized and it came out too small.



Gotta wait until the that "grab colors" feature stops acting up. Then I can edit in the better ones and delete this post I've just made here letting you know what I'm working on. It won't take long, Sweet Loving Ann.

Big Comforting Hugs!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Ann,

I just can't get over that picture of Arthur in the grass. With that green around him and his beautiful coloring...it is a really special picture.

I could see it so very easily as your desktop wallpaper....it would be so perfect.

Everytime I see it....it just bowls me over.

Hugs,
Judy

Dottie, that part of that song with him saying it made me cry(again). Thanks. I see what you mean about the funky eyes. I'll check back later, if your still working on it.
Judy, that photo was actually taken at a very far distance. I zoomed it in. That is why it isn't very clear. I did frame it and put on his memorial shelf, and also have it in my i.d. badge I wear at work. It is pretty like you say with the greenery. It was taken Jun 7 o7, exactly 1 year b4 he got so bacly hurt. ..Ann

Ann:

That picture looks very clear on my computer. I'm glad you also have it elsewhere to look at.
It is just a perfect picture (that's what comes into my mind everytime I look at it).

But then...Arthur is a perfect boy. And so very beautiful too.

(I wish you would see that stray again).

Hugs
Judy

Thanks Judy again for the compliments. Arthur was a beautiful boy(and he knew it) The King. No, that stray has never been back, could it be Arthur is too busy having fun to give him a nudge to visit again? Perhaps..I have a lot of cats that come around here, but nothing that looks so close Arthur like that one did. When I least expect it, I'll see it again..Ann

When I least expect it, I'll see it again..Ann


I hope you do, Ann. Sometimes I have seen strays in our community that from a distance have looked like my Little Girl as well as my twin boys, Little Guy and Keeper. It results in a quick intake of breath and then I realize I am actually holding my breath...why..I don't know..maybe because in my mind I am saying "could it be?" But then I exhale and say "No, it isn't".

(I find myself talking to me like that at times)

As far as your stray...in the back of my mind...I wonder...kind of like you said before...
was it a sighting of Arthur? That's a good thought too.

I haven't had any of mine do that but I have read here of many who have had that experience.
So one cannot say definitely...it cannot be true.

I'm glad you were able to take that picture else you might say "I must have been dreaming" but with the picture...you know it really happened.

Oh that we could wave a magic wand and bring them all back for a few more years............
healthy years..............

Hugs, Ann............we always can use those.

Judy

Hi, Ann. Yep, I'm still working on it. Since Photobucket only offers "round" when doing the drawing and your fur kid, well all kitties have pupils that are a diamond/oval shape ... You know what I mean ... Well, I have it in another paint program at this time called "Paint Pro" where I can control the shape of the pupils. I'm new at that program but I believe I'm making progress and want it to look just right. You know, like in your other photos. Thanks for being so patient. Hugs!!!

How ya doing, Ann? How's things? Love You Bunches!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

PS. Perhaps I ought be asking how you're doing in the other area since this is the Tribute area. Okay? So, I'll go over there. More Hugs!!!

Hi Dottie, I know what you will accomplish will be great as it always is.. Thanks for caring and taking the time to make me smile. I'm working on another tribute to Daisy. I just finished but didn't see it go thru, I'll try again, hopefully it won't show up twice. I only wish I had this site when I lost her. I don't think I would have fallen apart the way I did back then. .. stay tuned!..Ann

Hi Poops, it's Mom, Got to see you again in my dreams last night. It was short, but very sweet. I begged for you to come see me the night before and you answered me again. Hugs and Kisses and Loves..see you again soon. I miss you so much. My life hasn't been the same without you..xoxo

Hi Poops, Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. The solar light we put at your grave finally emerged from the snow after 2 long months. Shining as bright as the first day I put it there. Such a bitter sweet feeling to see. Love and miss you more than I could ever express..xoxo Mom

You know he hears every word, Ann. Angels are always listening.

I think if you look into his eyes in a favorite picture of him and you see him staring back into your eyes...you will feel your love reaching out to him and feel the warmth inside..of his response.

That happens to me with my Little Guy...I hope you feel yours too...cause I know it is there because I know Arthur is there with you.

Hugs,
Judy
