They all gave me something no one else can.<br /><br />Pam...Thanks. 20 years is a wonderful gift. We haven't made it past 18 years, so far. We have had one cat and one dog make it to or nearly to 18. All I can console myself with when it's their time is that I know I gave them the best life I could and they were never not loved for a moment from the day I met them and neither was I.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-82349990287779343482011-06-23T17:40:24.758-04:002011-06-23T17:40:24.758-04:00Many of these posts are emotional, but this one ma...Many of these posts are emotional, but this one made me cry.

She was away at college when Bogey's time came and I didn't call her until after it was over because I knew that she'd drive home, too fast and crying, to get there.

I can close my eyes and remember exactly how he looked. I also remember the day you dropped him off the porch. Dad said that was what was wrong with him for the rest of his life -- that you had dropped him on his head. I'm pretty sure he was kidding! Great post.
