I'm so sorry for your loss. I never realized how many people feel about their fur babies as I felt about mine. Yes, Sam was my life line. I'm very unhappy in my life for reasons I won't go into but my daily joy and happiness came from Sam. I'm trying to thank God for at least giving me 3 1/2 years with him. It wasn't long enough. Someone gave him up when he was 10 years old. They bought him at a breeder in 2002 had him for 10 years then just dropped him off at the Humane Society with the request he go to a foster home. How horrible for Sam. He was dropped off in January 2012 we adopted him March 2012. He came into our house and made himself at home and we just fell in love with him. It is like he knew he got a new forever home. Why God chose to take him during this rhinoscopy I will never understand till the day I die and if there really is a God I will ask him why.
