I guess these free Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic are every weekend now, because tomorrow from 10-11am they'll be building a free flower planter. After your finished playing Bob The Builder, head over to Toys R Us from 11am 1-pm for a free Thomas the Tank Engine event.
Okay, I had to put my cat down this morning, so I'm not feeling the funny today. She was a fantastic, old kitty who loved sunning all morning, sleeping on our chests at night, and slyly letting the dogs get close enough to almost sniff her butt before smacking their heads at any hour of the day. In other words, she spent 19 years rockin' out. She'll be dearly missed in the Goob household, but damn, you could not have asked for a better cat.
So sorry about the loss of your beloved cat. I have 2 rescue dogs that make my life so much more enjoyable. I don’t know what I’d do without them. I hope that your wonderful memories of all the good times you shared make the pain more bearable.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss, Goob! I’m an animal lover, too! I have a dog that I’m very attached to. My condolences.
My condolences for the loss of your dear friend. It gets easier over time. Your pain is in direct proportion to your love. Virtual hug.
In comment #36, I meant “she had the best owner in the world” … sorry about the typo …
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I had to put one of my beloved kitties down a few months ago-it was heartbreaking.
Once again goob,
So terribly sorry about the passing of your kitty. Our pets are indeed valued members of our families and we all would lost without them. I think all of the pet-loving hiffers feel your pain:(
Deepest sympathy,
Rev. Robin
Sorry to hear about your kitty Goob. Sending hugs your way.
Our sympathy to you and yours. It is very hard to lose a cat, especially one who has been with you for so long.
That is sad news. I paid extra attention to my beloved (and very spoiled) cat, and fed him the free can of Iam’s wet cat food I got last week that you turned us onto.
It was liver Pate with ocean fish flavor & he loved it!! Think I just got suckered into buying this on a regular basis…. but thanks goob & Iam’s.
purrrrrr 😀
Goob & family: So sorry to hear about kitty. We have 3 & we’re crazy in love w/ them. I can only imagine what you must be feeling now.
i’m sorry to hear about your cat. pets are like your kids.
know that you and her shared time, fun and happiness, i.e.
it is better to have loved than never to have loved at all.

So sorry for your loss. Lost my baby girl last year. She ruled over 3 kids, 3 other cats, a few squirrels, and a 75 lb english bulldog for 19 years. My home still feels empty without her. Her I.D. tags are still hanging on my keychain. We understand. It gets easier but you’ll never forget.
So sorry Goob. But death has to happen and you cant do anything about it.
):
Goob, I am so very sorry for your loss. I grew up with a dog (my parents had her when I was born) who died at 23 – I was 16 and it was so hard. It’s never gotten easier to lose any pet family member – but it is so worth it to have them (and their unconditional love) in our lives.
Cats totally rock. I’m so sorry.
so sorry for the loss of your wonderful furry friend… sounds like you have 19 years-worth of great memories! man, now i miss my kitties…
My deepest condolences to you.
So sorry, Goob!
(((Hugs, Goob))) I’m a fellow cat lover, too.
Aww sorry to hear my thoughts & prayers are with you!
Sorry about your dearling cat. It is hard to lose a loved one no matter the number of legs. May she have perpetual sun, mousies and dogs to torment and al the catnip she desires!
So sorry to hear about your cat. It is always so tough to lose a dear friend.
Awww, I’m sorry you had to put your kitty down :(. 19 years is incredible, she obviously had a wonderful life! *hug*
So sorry about your kitty.
So sorry for your loss. It’s true pets are a big part of our families and it’s extremely hard to let go. My condolences to you and your family
Goob. 🙁
I don’t normally leave comments, I just wanted to leave my condolences over the loss of your kitty. Two years ago, my cat had to be put down, and he was 19 as well. My mother got him before I was born, so I’d never known life without that cat. It’s really hard then your furry friends have to go. Just remember that you gave the cat a fantastic life, and she was happy and loved you.
I wish I could suggest some magical fix that makes that makes everything okay, but the truth is there’s no such thing. Take your time and grieve, and don’t let anyone tell you that she was “just a cat.” And of course, I’m sure you know that we all will understand if you’re “not so funny” for the next few days. We definitely couldn’t blame you for it.
Goob, sorry to hear about your cat…dang, 19 years is a long time…she had the bet owner in the world…take care of yourself buddy 🙁
Goob, so sorry about your kitty! It has been exactly a year since I had to put down my 8 year old dog~after my neighbors evil horse kicked her. I still miss her dearly, so I can totally empathize! Pets really become family members 🙁
So sorry to hear about your puddy.
Sorry Goob ~ it’s hard to lose a pet. 🙁
Take some time for yourself and grieve.
Thanks for posting even though you are grieving. You could have taken days off and I bet us Hiffers would understand.
I too am sorry to hear of your loss. I have a cat too and I dread that day that he passes. My sympathies to you.
I would be disappointed to learn that you WERE cracking jokes after the death of your cat.
Yep, cats rule and dogs drool. It sounds like she raised you well. Sorry for your loss.
Goob- For some things in life there are no words. I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your cat. It sounds like you and your cat had a wonderful life together. My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you. I know that your heart is breaking.
I am so sorry for your loss. They truly become a part of us.
I’m sorry to hear that. I just lost my cat Oscar 2 hours ago. He had kidney failure.
awww Goob, i am so sorry ot hear about your cat. 🙁 It’s always hard to lose a pet, they become our “children”. We lost our 15 year old cat in July, so I sympathize.
Thank you for thinking of us Hiffers today. Sorry for your loss. :o(
So sorry to hear you had to put your cat down. No matter how long we have with them, it never seems enough. It’s been a tough for week for me as well. My grandfather in is the Hospital, and he is on a ventillator. We thought today he would have to be taken off it because he wasn’t improvingt. But he is, so for Today he is alive !!! I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but today he is alive. That day you have with them, is precious, and all you really have. But you have had it with her, and she with you Goob. And she love you all the same for it.
And Goob I believe animals that you love will try to come back to you. So don’t be surprised if you end up with another cat who will boss the dogs around as well.
Thank you also for your postings over these last few months. They have been something I can do online, quietly while he is resting and I can sometimes get things that he enjoys. My grandfather is 89, and I not ready to let go, and I don’t think he is quite yet.
PSS
His favorite has been the pocket knife that I got for free.
Thanks.

oh that is so sad.. we just lost our cat the day after christmas, he was 18 yo. Love my pets (oh ok, and the kids too, i guess 😉 ).
I’m so very sorry to hear that. 🙁
So sorry Goob. :^(
I am so very sorry. It sounds like she was blessed with a long wonderful life. My thoughts are with you, I know your heart is broken.
Goob, my heart is very sad for you and your kitty. You took good care of each other for her to be with you so very long. Crissy S., I’m sorry for you and your bundle of fluff, too – heartwrenching. What would we do without these babies? The world wouldn’t be any fun, for sure.
Oh God, Goob. I can’t imagine how you feel. My cat is only 6 and may have to get his eye removed soon and that is just tearing me up inside, so you must be more than devastated. You are in my prayers Goob. (hug)
Praying for you today… So sorry for your loss…
so sorry for your loss
🙁 sorry to hear about your kitty…as least you had 19 nice years!!
