ACOT Message Board

Well, anyone that's been on this board for awhile, will remember my cat Merlin. I've done tons of pages about him. He's been living at my parents with the other cats, Sebastion and Pookie, cuz when I brought him to my new house he wouldn't eat or go to the bathroom, so I left him with my parents where he was comfortable and happy. Well, yesterday, at 13 years old, we had to put Merlin down. He went into liver and kidney failure. So since i found out yesterday, I have been crying constantly. Its hard to think that I won't see him again, no more hugs, no more games, no cuddles. Pets really do become a part of your family, and your heart. So i could definitely use some hugs today and some well wishes for poor Sebastion and Pookie who will probably wonder where Merlin has gone.

Some of my favorite pages to remember my sweet Merlin by.

Oh Sarah {{{{{HHUUGGSS}}}}} to you. I know what you are going through. It is so hard. I am even crying with you right now. Merlin is a very handsome cat. Try to keep your chin up for your other kitties. They are going to need you.

Oh Jenn I am in tears right now. I am so sorry. I feel as if I knew Merlin from all of your wonderful layouts about him. My heart is aching for you right now and I just don't have any words to say to you... ((hugs)) ((hugs)) ((hugs)) I hope that Merlin has met my Cider up at rainbow bridge.

So, so sorry, Jenn! I love all your kitties, as I see them in your layouts. Pets are really a huge part of our families and when they leave there is always a hole. Hugs for you, my online friend.

Hugs, Jenn. Merlin was a lucky cat to have you and your parents to care for him. So sorry for your loss.

Sorry you lost Merlin. Pet loss is never easy. I lost Mattie 2 years ago and still miss her. It does get less painful, it takes time, unfortunately.

Sorry Jenn. (((Hugs))).

Hugs to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. (((HUGS))) Jenn.

my dog that I had had for twelve years past away in May. I cried for days. So many hugs to you

Jenn, I'm so so sorry to hear this! He was such a sweetie and I know how your heart must be breaking without him!! many many hugs for you right now.

Awww Sarah I am SO sorry for your loss! I know I would be a mess too if I lost my merlin (my male golden retreiver) !
Yes pets are part of the family I totally agree, in fact I like mine more than some of my family. Sorry not to be mean but it is true! Hang in there kid! I wish I could take away the hurt!

Oh Jenn....so sorry to hear about this! They really ARE our furry children!

Oh Jen I'm so sorry!! I have loved your pages about Merlin. We are facing that very, very soon with Oliver (who's 14 - like Merlin, that's too young!) - he has a huuuge tumor and is uncomfortable and has lost a lot of weight - poor baby can't jump up on the counter anymore and if we put his food on the floor, 'sister' steals it! So he can only eat when we're here... we're surprised he's lasted this long but don't expect more than another week or so. I've cried on & off over the past several months just anticipating it! I know I'll be a wreck when it actually happens. So I'll definitely think of you & pray for your comfort as I deal w/this myself! {{HUGS}}

So sorry to hear this Jenn. I know what it is like unfortunately. Hugs to you!!!! he was a beautiful cat. Pets really ARE part of our families and affect us greatly when they are gone. (((HUGS)))

Oh Jenn, I am so sorry to hear this. My heart is breaking just hearing about Merlin. Losing a pet is gotta be one of the hardest us humans can go thru. Merlin is a beautiful cat and I'm sure he's running around on Rainbow Bridge with Barb's Cider and my kitty Princess and my doggie Butterscotch and all the other cherry furbabies. Many ((HUGS))

Jenn - I'm so sorry for your loss... losing a pet is one of the hardest things we can go through. (((hugs)))

Sending ((hugs)) I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets are such a big part of our family and it's so tough when we lose them.

I'm so sorry to hear about Merlin. It is never easy to lose a furr-baby as they are a very big part of our lives. Hugs!
