Long Goodbyes

So my little baby bro came around today and took my Charlie to a council site. I couldn’t do it and had said my goodbyes. Gotta love family when you need it. I am very fortunate to have a great family. I’ve also been blessed with great companion pets. Charlie made 18 years which is a lot of time to give love to someone like me! My marriage only lasted 2 :slight_smile:!

Couldn’t justify spending $300 to get her cremated. Everyone offered to pay but we didn’t spend much on mum so thought it inappropriate to do such a thing.

So. In memory of a great companion! Raise your glass of coffee to a lovely little girl who gave an old man so much joy! If your debating getting a pet…I’d say go for it and enjoy! They add so much to our lives and I wouldn’t take back any of it! Peace, love and understanding!

I know the last few months have been very hard for you, but you have the ability to celebrate life and good times.

Life well lived, Charlie.

I’m sorry about Charlie (and being on the heels of your mum’s passing as well). You seem to have a good appreciation for the time you’ve had with your sweet girl, but the missing is strong for awhile. I agree pets are well worth any trouble or heartbreak, unconditional love seem easy with them.
I hope you continue to give love and a good home to many more animals in the future.

Thanks peeps. Much love. It was a sad end of the year but I loved the times we had. Charlie made 18 years and was a great part of my life for so long. It’s hard to say goodbye but this next year will be better. No pets for a while…Dad just isn’t pet friendly but I never say never.

Thanks all for your kind words. It’s much appreciated.
