Oliver,we are all so sorry to hear this devastating news. Our hearts just break for you. My beloved Happy Hannah crossed over ine day after your Samson last year. It is very, very hard to post when you are so sad.

Thank you for.posting today so we can honor a live well lived AND support you. You ALWAYS kelt Samson's well being at the forefront of every decision. He knew he could count in you to always be his n protector and you did a steller job!

I love the pictures of him absorbing the warmth of the sun. He really does look so content and so peaceful.

Samson clearly was a strong willed fella'! His determination to get to his litter box just has me cheering! He was determined to do things his way!

When you can, please share more pictures. You two had...have...a lovely relationship and a bond that can never be broken. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of walking with you on this journey. We understand the loss like no others can. And we also understand the beautiful memories you two shared will help sustain you.

Has Samson sent you another kitty yet? I bet he will if he hasn't already!

Sending you love

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Oliver, I'm so sorry.

We are glad you came back to let us know how things went. It breaks my heart, I so wish you had more time together.

Still it sure sounds like the time you did get was quality, full of love and life lessons. What a great pawrent you were to Sampson, no animal could ask for a better home and people.

You were both true warriors each and every day. Sampson's teachings will always guide you on whatever paths you take next.

Lots and lots of love and hugs coming your way. Thank you again for letting us know.

Thank you for your condolences and support!

Sally, I am so sorry for your loss of Hannah. Each loss is so intensely personal. I hope you are feeling at peace.

Sadly we are without pets at the moment. When Samson passed we still had his sister Cleo but she left us on January 31, 2015 after a battle with kidney disease. In contrast to Samson, the end came quite fast and unexpectedly. In a sense it's a bit harder to process. We definitely see cats in our future but are still waiting for the right moment.

Here is a picture of Cleo looking after Samson during his last days, followed by a link to the full album.

Again, wishing you all the best!

Gosh, and Cleo crossed over too. You have not had any easy time m of it.

I guess Cleo and Samson missed each other and decided to reunite at the Bridge with brand new healthy and vibrant bodies!!

My tablet, as well as a bad connection, didnt let me see all the pictures on their album, but I'm going to try again later. We LOVE pictures around here!! But the picture above of Cleo and Samson....soooooo sweet! What a treasure!

I'm pretty sure Samson snd Cleo are in the process of sending you another cat...or two...or kitten!! Cantw wait to see what they send you!

Please stay connected. Samson was a very special kitty to us snd did a stellar job of facing this crap disease hrad on and continued enjoying lofe to the fullest regardless!!

Hugs to all!

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

PS...Thanks for your kind comments regarding my Happy Hannah...very nice.

What sweet photos. Thank you for giving us that glimpse into Cleo and Samson's life together. You can tell they were so close.

I'm really sorry you lost Cleo too, that had to have been very, very difficult. Losing one is hard enough but two is just devastating. My heart goes out to you.
