				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks. I'm really doing okay. I'm still sad, but it's nice to come here and enjoy the various topics being discussed, even if I'm not contributing right now. This really is the nicest group of women on the internet. All the comments mean a lot to me.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Tara, I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  I gave my fur babies (10 and 12 years old) an extra hug after reading your post. I try not to think about the fact that they probably only have a few years left...

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I wasn't on-line this weekend, and just saw this. Aaaah Tara-((( Losing a pet is absolutely heartbreaking. I still get tears in my eyes sometimes when I think about our dog who passed away eight years ago.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'm 100% convinced that she knew you cared about her until the very end Tara. Here's another virtual hug for you!&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Everyone - thank you very much for all the kind words. I knew this forum was filled with the kindest, most caring people and I really needed those virtual hugs!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Kari - Thanks so much for reading the blog. I usually write things are more entertaining - I hope you'll come back some time when I'm feeling more like being funny.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'm so sorry about your kitty--I'm sure this must be an awful time for you.  I once read a quote that I unfortunately can't find, but the idea behind it was that pet owners make the ultimate sacrifice in loving their pets, because they know that they will probably outlive their pets.  But, of course, you are the better for having had your kitty in your life, and she was the better for having you.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I hope you can take some solace in being able to hold her until the very end--what a wonderful gift to give to her.

Pets can be very much like children and 16 years is a loooooong time for anyone. I know only time will help heal your loss, but know that my thoughts are with you! xoxoxo

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Tara, ((((HUGS)))) I cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose a beloved pet, but I can only imagine. I'm with everyone else here in thinking animals understand and have emotions, sometimes more than humans. You gave your kitty 16 wonderful years and that proves you were the most wonderful mom. Both of you were lucky to have shared her last moments together. I can only pray I have the same with my little one when the time comes. You have 16 years of beautiful memories to cherish, and I hope they comfort you and help you heal. Kitty heaven, I hear, is lovely  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Tara, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know (like many others here) how horrible it is to lose a pet- my cat Duffy passed away almost 5 years now, and I still miss him. They are truly part of the family, and it will probably be a while until  you get used to your house without the patter of little paws. Take comfort in the fact that you gave Blanche a wonderful life and she doubtless knew how much you loved her. Also, we're all thinking of you!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Tarzy, I'm so sorry to hear you lost your kitty.  Sixteen years is a long life, yet way to short.  The pain is sharp (I know, I recently lost my 16.5 year old pup - my baby girl).   I am glad you could be with her until the end.  You were very lucky to have each other.  I hope in time your memories will bring a sweet smile instead of tears.  My heart goes out to you.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oh no, I am so sorry!  I read your blog entry, too... Blanche sounds like such a sweetie.  What a wonderful thing that you were able to take her in and give her such a long life where she was just loved absolutely.  And it must have been comforting to end her life with her favorite person supporting her.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I lost my first dog Abbey quite suddenly and with no warning when she was nine.  The vet said a blood clot could have been the cause as well - she literally fell over while playing with my mom and was just gone.  It was really traumatic and awful, but I'm glad for her (and also for your own Blanche) that the pain must have been over so quick.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Many hugs to you.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oh, Tara. I'm so, so sorry. It is absolutely soul destroying losing a beloved pet. You hope they will live forever and they just don’t. 16 years is a brilliant innings, though. I bet your kitty was amongst the most loved cats on earth! How lucky she was to have a Mum like you. Cherish her memories and keep her love in your heart. Her soul will continue to warm yours forever. Jasmine and Rosie send extra love and tail wags your way. BIG HUG.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Tara, I'm so sorry.  You and your kitty were lucky to have eachother.  I strongly believe animals are capable of feeling emotion, and I'm absolutely sure she knew you cared for her and loved her, especially at the end.  How special and comforting it must have been for her that you could be with her.  I gave Cheshire and Pluto an extra treat in memory of your kitty.  Big, big hug.
