Goodbye Kramer...



We had a very sad day yesterday. Our great kitty companion, Kramer, had to be put to sleep. He was 14 years old and had some major health issues. He was such a good and loving kitty. I got him from my friend, Joe, when I was 18 and I've had him ever since. He has been there through the births of all of my children. He was so patient with my little guys! I remember when Michael was just a toddler and he would crawl over and lay on top of Kramer. Kramer would just take it...he wouldn't bite or scratch the children. His purr was like a little motor boat and we will truly miss it. Michael and Connor were very brave but certainly upset. Michael went with Jeff to the vet and got to say his last goodbye's there. We love you Kramer and we will miss you dearly!

That makes me sad. I will miss seeing Kramer on my visit. The picture of the boys holding Kramer is so precious!!

As an owner of 7 cats myself, I can empathize with you. You are so lucky to have had a long life with your Kramer.

Oh, I'm so sorry - we'll probably be there with our first child (our dog) in the not too distant future. Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all... right? Love and hugs to you all!
