Goodbye old friend and thank you for the loyalty and love. Even at the end, your wagging tail brought relief as your eyes closed for the last time. Happy to please; you never complained, never made a fuss. Settled for a stick thrown, a quick cuddle, an opportunistic walk. Accepted your lot, put up with our human chaos. There is an empty space where you used to sleep. There is an empty space in our hearts. We are grateful for the sixteen years you gave us. For the fun, the energy, the purpose you brought us.
Rest in peace, Samwise.
I went through this a few months ago when we had to put our beloved 14 year old cat down. She was a sweet girl and right up to the end her sweetness shined even though she was suffering.

Sorry to hear about your cat. We become very attached to our animals, don’t we? They are family.
