Sorry to have to tell you all this, but our beautiful Pepper, who`s been missing for a few days, was run over and killed last Friday morning. We fund this out today, after posting several flyers with his picture on them. I can`t stop crying, he was just so special.

Oh, number I'm so very sorry to hear your sad news. Poor Pepper. It's good that you know now, although I know it's devastating. We lost a cat the same way many years ago, and I can guess how you might be feeling. What a shame (((hugs))

A big hug for you number for a special little friend.

annodomini Wed 26-Sept-12 22:47:12

Poor you, number - I'd had you and Pepper on my mind. It has happened to me and to many people who've had cats. I know just how you feel ((((many hugs)))).

Oh I'm so sorry. I don't have cats any more because I couldn't go through with losing one again so I do understand the pain you are feeling right now. The only thing I will say is that I found that knowing what had happened to my cats, however awful, was better than the ones that never came home and I never found out why. But that's no consolation to you now. We always lose the special ones. Big hug.

...I see you're coming to Brum numberplease. In that case you shall have the biggest hug ever when I see you.

Sorry to hear your sad news numberplease.
It is difficult to deal with the loss of a special pet. I don't have pets but have often 'house/dog sat' for my sister.
One Christmas I was given a lovely warm scarf from 'Honey' for looking after her, I still think of her when I wear that scarf, she was a very special dog.

Oh number that is so sad (((hugs))). It is better to know though. We have had cats that have been run over but also lots that have just disappeared which I find much worse. flowers

So sorry to hear the news number. The same happened to one of my rescue cats, it is so distressing! I remember participating in the thread when you were thinking of a name, even suggesting Pepper. You had such a short time with him. flowers

{{hug}} from another pet lover. This is so sad and I send all my sympathy. Our animals are a part of our family and our lives and bring us so much love and joy, flowers

moomin Thu 27-Sept-12 09:03:06

What a very difficult time for you number and I'm thinking of you. I can still get emotional thinking about my lovely greyhound who died aged 14 two years ago. I have had dogs and cats all my life and I know how devastating it is when they die. flowers

absentgrana Thu 27-Sept-12 09:06:13

The death of a pet is a death in the family and always sad – even more so when it is the result of an accident. Condolences number, I know how you feel.

number I wish that I could hug you and make the pain go away. I'm so thankful that I managed to capture Pepper's essence in a portrait. flowers

number I'm so sorry about Pepper. He was a part of gransnet from the time he came to you. It is a horrible time when pets die, take care of yourself flowers
