Oh Donna! I'm so sorry! Dexter is in a better place now and now finally pain free! Take care! Big hugs! Anne

Donna: Today I lost someone as well. Please stay strong. Keep your head high and always keep a special place in your heart for him. That's how he would have wanted it to be! :) Hope you feel better.

PS: I saw your "sweet beads" logo on your website, and you won't believe who I met tonight at the Phillies game-Pedro Sanchez. I am not kidding! :) I thought you'd appreciate that! Stay strong. :)

Donna, my friend! I, too, am so very sorry. I've been thinking about you all day since you hadn't updated! Take all the time you need. Let us know if there is anything we can do--even though long-distance.

I am so sorry. :o(
I know it is so painful to loose an animal and when you've had one that long it's like loosing a family member.

Big furry hugs and kitty kisses.

On Fri. May 6th I put my Smokey down. It broke my heart. I knew it was for the best, I did it for HER not for me. I am just starting to feel that the world is okay again.I am so sorry about Dex, however in your heart you know it had to be done.Maybe he and Smokes are hanging out together,having fun!

Hi Donna,

It's really hard to lose a pet. I know you will miss Dexter. You made his last days very peaceful. He was a beauty.

Take care.....Tara

Donna, I'm so sorry about Dexter. I know how hard these past few weeks have been. Words cannot begin to express my sorrow for you. Losing a furry friend is one of the hardest things in life to bear. Be comforted in the knowledge that he is happy and in a much better place now. Many, many hugs to my friend!! Take all the time you need, we're all here for you!

Posted by: Kathy James at May 18, 2005 08:58 AM

Donna,
I am so verry sorry for your loss. Nothing I can say will take away the pain but please take comfort in knowing that Dexter knew how much he was loved.
Hugs to you! Jackie

Posted by: Jackie at May 18, 2005 09:13 AM

I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave Dexter much love and he loved you too. I'm thinking about you all. Take time to remember him and don't forget to smile about all those funny things he probably did. Big Hug!!

Posted by: Monica at May 18, 2005 09:19 AM

Donna, I am so sorry for your loss of Dexter. I know it is hard to loose a furry loved one. Take some time to remember his life and the joy you two shared.

Donna, I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful kitty he was! He is still in your heart and content that he had a very good life.
Bless you,
Kristine

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Donna and Brian.

If you haven't read the book, "Cat Heaven," I strong recommend it. "Dog Heaven" got our family through a lot of pretty intense grief. I still cry when I read it but it does make me feel better.

Posted by: Beth at May 18, 2005 10:42 AM

Hugs and Kisses. He was a cutie. You'll alwasy carry him in your heart.

Posted by: Gail Lannum at May 18, 2005 10:56 AM

Donna - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! It's definitely hard to loose such a wonderful pet. Just remember he's in a better place now; with no more suffering. My husband and I will keep you in our prayers.

{{*hugs*}}

Donna, I was so sorry to hear this! There isn't anything I can really add to all the other caring comments here but I know how hard this must be for you and wanted to let you know you have my best wishes too.

With deepest sympathy,
Sue the ex-enamel freak.

Oh, Donna ... I feel with you. Dexter was (is ... and will still be) SOMEONE special ... such a "furry beauty". Thinking of you ... and sending you lots of hugs with deepest sympathy, PEtra

Donna, What wonderful pictures of your sweet baby. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Posted by: dianne at May 18, 2005 03:46 PM

Your pictures are a beautiful tribute to Dexter. It is so hard to lose such an important part of your family. We will keep your family in our prayers.
Take care

God bless you and Dexter. He was a very lucky kitty to have you in his life. It seems that you were pretty lucky too. Hope things look sunny soon.

I am so sorry for you and Brian. He's beautiful. As everyone has said it is hard to lose a pet, (my pets are my children) Please know I am thinking of you and send big Hugs your way! You gave him a wonderful home and life. Take comfort in that, and remember the wonderful times you had.

Bonjour Donna,
I so sorry...Anyone who's ever lost a furry friend knows what you're going through. But soon you'll be over the huge grief and the memories of Dexter will be your treasure forever. My thoughts go to you. Take care of yourself, give yourself time.

My heart goes out to you - Hugs to you

Posted by: Gwen Youngblood at May 19, 2005 09:44 AM

Donna, please accept my condolences for your loss of Dexter. I am a fellow lampworker who follows your site just b/c I enjoy your daily blog so much! My husband and I have 3 cats and 2 dogs, who are our "children" (no people children here) and we have been through this ourselves and can relate completely. We still tear up when we just mention one of our cats that we lost 3 yrs ago. They bless us so much with their antics and affection. Take care! Jennifer

Donna,
How sad it is to lose someone who gives you unconditional love. My sympathies to you.

Donna,
I'm so sorry to hear about Dexter. I'd be so miserable if anything happened to my cats that I can understand your heartbreak.
All my best, Randi S

Oh Donna, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel less in pain. Take care, sweet Donna and goodbye sweet Dexter.
Love,
Lori

I'm so sorry. Please accept all my love for you and your beautiful cat, who will always be around. Laura Blanck from Openstudio.

I am so sorry for your loss, Donna - I just lost my kitty Melody last month, so I know how incredibly hard that is. I am sure your sweet Dexter is playing on the Rainbow Bridge with all his furry friends. It's so very hard to say goodbye, though - animals are often just like our children. Warm hugs to you - take care of yourself. (((((((Donna)))))))

Posted by: Kandice Seeber at May 20, 2005 05:14 AM

I feel for your loss. I've lost a furry friend in the past too. I think the pics you posted were a great way to let all of us onlookers see Dex! Take care!

Posted by: Amy at May 20, 2005 09:09 AM

Donna, I'm so sorry .... but I know in time, you'll think of Dexter and smile remembering all the joy he brought to you and your family.
