Remembering
We lost a dear friend this week and are pausing to remember him and the many other kitties whose lives have touched ours so profoundly.
Little did we know when we started blogging 5 years ago that we would make so many friends around the world, sharing in the joys and trials of their daily lives, becoming like family to them and they to us.
Little did we know, either, when we started that sooner or later these dear friends were going to leave us as they passed from old age, illness or disease to a better life while they wait for us to join them in heaven where they is no pain or suffering and every tear will be wiped from our eyes.
Fat Eric you were one of our very dearest friends and we miss you profoundly. You were Shaggy's twin in shape, size and temperament. The only difference was the color of their fur. The tears keep flowing for you and for your mum and dad who weren't there to hold you when the time came.
My you run forever free in the warmth and sunshine at the Rainbow Bridge and enjoy long luxurious naps in the shade of tall trees and long grass.

What a heartfelt tribute to dear sweet Fat Eric.
Sometimes the whole being left behind while others go off to the Bridge part makes blogging hard...but it's worth it, I think. We'll meet up with our buds later...
we will miss eric, he was one of our first blogging friends
What a wonderful tribute to Fat Eric. We are so sad that he and so many of our kitty friends had to leave.
What a lovely and heartfelt tribute to Eric.
This is a lovely tribute to Eric. He is special to us also as it was his mum who persuaded our mum to get us a blog.
Our hearts break for his family who were unable to be with him to say their goodbyes.
Fat Eric was obviously very special to you. A very nice tribute to him.
What a touching tribute to dear sweet Eric. It's ironic that you just mentioned something that just dawned on us too...when we began blogging 5 years ago (both us about the same time) I never ever considered that as time passed my friends would grow older and as things go that there would be the passage to the Rainbow Bridge. It hit us so hard with Eric especially,although it does not lessen the loss of Luxor, Molly of tiny baby angel Winnie. But Eric had been a friend since he started his blog a year after ours. Going forward now with this knowledge of more friends will reach that bridge is heavy on our hearts. But we do know that the love and camaraderie far outweighs the sadness, and we know that our farewell is only temporary as we will see all of furfriends again when we cross over to the Bridge.
...but still it makes our heart ache

It is very true--who knew we would be so close that the loss of one would affect us all?
Fat Eric was one of the first kitties we met when we started blogging. We will miss him very much.
We is getting all leaky again from reading about our furiends going to The Bridge. We will miss them so much.
We are so very sorry for your loss. We mentions you in our post about Legends, because you are one!
Love TK and Squashies
A beautiful tribute to Eric. We shall miss him so very much. We too feel very sad that his mum and dad weren't there at the end ~ they must feel awful sad.
What a lovely tribute to Fat Eric! We are kinna new, but Skeeter and LC knew him from the start...
Us,catbloggers,went through a bad spell a while back when we lost too many furriends in far too short of a time.
It seemed that we were past such times...
Then Magoo left, now Fat Eric and Luxor...
I miss them all.
