Show me pics of your dogs, cats or other pets.

I posted a picture about two years ago of this little guy (Clifford/Cliffy). Unfortunately today marks three months since he passed away. ������

He was good one week, going to get groomed and a vet visit for an eye irritation. A little more than a week later he was gone.

Awww. I'm so sorry he passed away. Animals make life so much more bearable and each one has such a unique personality.

Thanks. He was such a sweet and energetic little guy. It still stings cuz he was good one week and gone the next. If I had to venture a guess as to what happened I'd say it was a drug interaction because besides the eye ointment they packed his ears for an alleged ear infection.

What's even worse is that coming up in a mere 9 days is the two year anniversary of my moms death too. So I'm so ready for this month to be over.

Yes, I know we've had similar threads in the past..time for a new one

Our daughter had a hamster in college, but my wife ended up basically adopting her. That hamster died last year.

My wife got a mouse Chinese hamster (everything's made in China these days! ) a few weeks ago. She is full grown and weighs less than one ounce

How are your pups Bella and Loki? They must love the fall weather.

awwwwwww

OMG how sweet!!

Any time

Our Mocha is sooo chill. I keep wondering if she's okay, but's fairly active (I have a wheel with a pedometer and she runs anywhere from less than 1 mile to up to 5 miles a day)​

It's been about a year and a half now since I said goodbye to my last pet. This was the picture from when he was still at the shelter before he adopted me. He had been brought there as a stray and they had dubbed him Sir Hippity, which I soon changed to Zeus.




This was one of the last pictures I took of Zeus over 11 years later when he was about 15 years old, shortly before I had to have him put to sleep.




At that time it had been over 30 years since a time when I didn't have a cat.



I made the decision then to not get any more pets, at least for the foreseeable future. I had hoped Zeus would be around for a few years longer to get me closer to when I retire, but some form of cancer shortened that dream. It has been tough to be without a cat around the house but I'm still not ready to bring home another one, though I have found myself checking out the local shelter cats online occasionally. I may change my mind someday, but one thing I want to do is travel a lot more after I retire and I don't want to have a pet back home to worry about.

Plus, if I'm being honest, the pain of losing them seems to get tougher rather than easier as I get older, and not sure how willing I am to go through it again. It has taken a lot out of me every time I have to let one go.

I've posted here each time I have lost one of my cats and I posted in the same thread about Zeus after I had him put to sleep but didn't realize right away that the thread was in the Archived Lounge so only a couple of you saw it at all. When I noticed that I just didn't have the energy to make a new thread that would show up here in the Lounge.

These are my threads in the archived thread memorializing Corey, Tugger, and Zeus:
