Our beloved Dexter
For all of those who are close to us I felt I should share that today, we lost our cat Dexter. He was 14 years old and really was a wonderful cat. He put up with so much from our kids and they will miss him dearly! I know this is not surro- related but I wanted to share the news with family and friends in the easiest way possible. I never thought it would hurt this bad but I am devastated and so scared to tell the kids when we get home soon. They are going to be heartbroken! We love you Dexter and hope you are in a better place!

I'm so sorry to hear about Dexter...losing a pet is like losing a part of the family and I know devastation will ensue when we lose our beloved Barley & Roscoe! Hang in there!

Hi,
This is Jeannette Stookey bothering you again. I truly know the pain of you losing Dexter. I am so sorry. We lost my cat 2 months after Hailey and Hayden were born. He also was 14. He moved here with me from Missouri to be with my husband. He was my baby and when I went through IVF he laid on me the whole time you have to be down. He always laid on me when I didn't feel good with the babies, I knew he wasn't feeling good towards the end of my pregnancy and we found out then he had cancer. He hung on until "his" babies were born and I was OK. That was one of the worst days of my life. I still miss him so much and we got another kitten 2mths ago for the babies to be around, but it's still not the same. It gets a little better, but when you are a pet lover it's like losing part of your family. I know when you feel like crap it doesn't make things easier either. Hopefully when you get all of the extra hormones out of your system you'll feel better. I drank lots of lemonade, granny smith apples with salt, and lays plain potato chips. I also tried sea bands and they worked for a couple of months. They are pressure point bands for your wrists so there is no medicine in them. Everything will be better soon, Take Care,

Jeannette-
We have way too much in common. :)
We think our cat had cancer too. The vet said that was most likely what it was without doing the extensive and expensive tests a couple months ago. We knew Dexter was sick and old but it still didn't prepare us or the kids for the actual loss of him. We are hanging in there but it just is very hard to accept. I keep walking around the house thinking I see him on a couch or in a corner somewhere but then I realize its not him and he is gone. My oldest son last night had a really hard time again accepting it. He was crying so hard. It was awful. I know it will get easier with time but yes- this is hard to go through when I am already hormonal!
I am sorry to hear about Dexter!!! I think what broke my heart the most about losing our cat awhile ago was telling Kristin (Jacob was still to young to notice really). It broke my heart to have to see her go through such emotion. Hope you start feeling better. I finally am. The baby bump is starting to show!
Kim, I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful cat. My cat missy was 21yrs old when she died and at night I still think I feel her on me. Of course with age you acquire alot of pets. We have had to hold in our arms 3 dogs and at least 7 cats and watch the light leave their eyes. You never get over it and it always hurts so much and you wonder why you do this to yourself, over and over again,then you know that the love of a pet is just what you need, they never judge you and act like you are always right and loved no matter how bad you feel, and you can tell them anything and know it stays with them and they will tell no one your secrets. Also they are pretty good listners. Can you tell I love my pets. At this point I have a 14yr old cat that I think has cancer so she will be joining Dexter soon and a 14yr old dog that has issues from old age. I also have a 14 week old puppy a 2yr old rabbit and two white cats that ate 3yrs old. More pain to go thru pretty soon and then down the road again. You will get another pet soon all children need pets it makes them better adults.My prays are with you and your children at the loss of your beloved pet.
Love Debby and Jim Hogan
I liked Dexter even though he made me SNEEZE! R.I.P. Dexter.
