Archiesgrandad Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Archie wasn't really my grandson, he was a lovely ginger Kitten that we rescued from Battersea Dogs home for my then 13 year old son. Archie took a real shine on me, and on the basis that my son was his Dad, I was his grandad. We bought him to France with us two years ago and I think he has thoroughly enjoyed his time here, but at almost 15 years old he suddenly deteriorarted on Wednesday, so we took him to the Vet but he died a few hours later. I am bereft. I will decide later wether to change my user name. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 We know how you feel.......sadly been there numerous times ourselves :-( ........ We've always had rescues, cant see the point in buying something because it has a pedigree :-| ...... Dunno whether you can change your user name though?........So maybe Archie will live on in the tinternet B-) ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laimeduck Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Leave your username as a lasting memory to a furry friend who gave you a lot of happiness. I named my company after my first dog and he was named after the finest aero engine the Merlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more could he wish for eh? Veronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I named our first cat "Bloody Ugly" because he was 8-) ...........It got shortened to Bugly :D ....... Had him for 19 years and he wasn't a kitten when Sue found him in a dustbin ;-) ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGD Sorry to hear that, but glad to hear your cat departed this world in a comfortable and dignified manner - A choice that our Government takes away from most humans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowtelse2do Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Sorry to hear that AGD, keep posting under your username. We only had two cats, one was 21 when she went, the other was 18 when she had to be put down, not a nice experience. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archiesgrandad Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thank you all for your kind thoughts, he is truly missed. I think that my niece summed it up very well when she said that it is amazing how deep an impression those tiny paws can make. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
