Companion Animal Memorial Thread

This is for a dead black-and-white cat I saw in the street as I was walking home from work Thursday. They weren't mine... I picked up a branch and pushed them out of the middle of the street, but couldn't really do anything more with their body.
:hug:

I always want to do this for any dead animals I see by the road. Makes me uncomfortable to see them left there (not entirely sure why).

:( Poor thing.

This seemingly small gesture is not to be taken lightly. I wish I could do this. There is no resting place for body in the middle of the road. Symbolic or whatever, in the grass / dirt by the side of the road is much better.

A dog was hit on the interstate and laid by the side of the road decomposing until it was nothing but bones and fur. I think it's still there. And I pass it everyday and can't help but look and feel bad.

Anyway - good for you Tom. :hug:
 
Moll, I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies. :(
Tom, what you did for that cat was so sweet. :).
 
I woke up this morning and burst out crying thinking about my cat.:( I can't get the image of the look on his face as he died out of my head.

I'm sorry Moll. It's so hard to deal with losing a loved companion animal.

I still remember the look on my little dog Pepper's face too... I told her it was ok to go and, she gave me this one look, like goodbye. I felt like at the time it was a "please help me" look, but now I think it was relief.
