Farewell Harry

There was never a more awesome cat to walk the planet than you, Harry. That is an absolute fact. You won our hearts the moment you snuggled up on Joe's chest the first night after you were adopted. You were the kindest and sweetest cat we will likely ever know.

You had a huge, warm personality. Everyone loved you. You were truly more dog than cat in your unbridled affection for people. For most of your days, you were large and furry, perfect for cuddling. The girls adored you and you let them do all sorts of things that cats would generally dislike. You loved them nonetheless.




Your favorite things were laying in sunny spots, sniffing the breeze, chasing bugs and nuzzling us and Winnie.

You declined fairly rapidly after Winnie died this April. You were together your whole life and we knew you missed her. We're so lucky we got so many years with our special guy. We love you and already miss you dearly.

Sorry to hear about Harry. Our furry friends become such a huge part of our family. It's so sad when they go.

oh jane, i'm sorry to hear this. what a nice post, and the photos are great!!! isn't it crazy to see how little jia was, yet she still looks the same (only bigger).

i'll be in touch later, i am having a rough week (i can't write more or i'll start crying and then i won't stop). e and z are doing great and LOVE all aspects of their school and friendship, HUGE relief. tom has been home helping this week too (on vacation), HUGE help. i love my team and staff but the day is so long and my class is so needy. anyways, i've been thinking of willa's situation. how is that going? i wouldn't have been happy with the change either.

talk soon.

Oh I'm so sorry. :( Harry sounds (and looks) so much like our Louie, and I can't imagine losing him...so hugs to you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Harry. Hard to lose a member of the family and he looks like a fantastic old soul. Love the pix of him and Baby J.

Many hugs to you all.
