Just lost the family pet
I had been in Calgary last week for a wedding and received the bad news when I returned home that my cat got out at night a few days ago and had not returned.. he was an older cat (13) who I have had for pretty much half my life.
The longest he was ever away from home was a day which was several years ago.. so I assumed the worst and just now someone saw one of the lost cat signs that and been put up and informed me he had been hit by a car and died very shortly after in someones arms.. we lost his sister a few years ago to liver failure which was very hard to see her slowly die at the vets who for days did not know what was wrong with her.. this helped prepare a little bit but the pain has been tough the past few days.. in anycase it is at least comforting to know what happened and he didn't suffer.

I lost my 26 year old cat (yeah, 26!) while out of town a couple months back, and just last week had the 9 year old one lose a fight with a racoon (he's still hanging in there)
So I feel your pain... pets suck!!
Sorry.
I feel your pain man and I'm very sorry for your loss.
