Well Bonkers has gone to Rainbow Bridge to wait for me this morning. He passed after a short illness. DAMN, I miss him
Terry,
We are so very sorry to hear of this, my friend.
We lost one (Tiger) that looked to be his twin not so long ago. He is buried under a big maple tree right by our creek.
Non pet people don't understand how these little creatures become so much a part of one's life and home.
Thinking of you, amigo,
MARK
Sorry, amigo. How old was he?
Very sorry for your loss, Terry.
Ya know Terry, you have made me see CATS in an entirely different light.. I still can't stand them, but you have warmed my heart on how much of a friend that they have been to you....
Condolences on the loss of your friend....
and kudos on the name.. Bonkers.. great name for a cat...
or a dog...
Boy that sucks. This has been a really bad year overall for us for many reasons.
I"m ready for 2015 I think.
Condolences. Can't replace em but sure can keep going with the next!
sorry for your loss... they become like Family

Very sorry to hear this Terry.
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."
Terry, I'm grieved to hear of your loss. I know exactly how you feel, my friend.
I am so sorry Terry. Bonkers has been a fixture here with you for quite a while. Goodbye Bonkers, you were a FRIEND!
They are a gift on loan...
So sorry to hear it Terry. Bonkers had a good life thanks to you.

Sorry for the loss of your buddy.
Sorry to hear of this,TL.
Sorry to hear of it, Terry. Next month I will have had my old guy 16 years, and it will be hard when I finally have to say goodbye to him.
Very sorry to hear Terry, Bonkers looks just like the stray we took in 2 years ago.
RIP Bonkers.
My condolences to you and your wife, Terry.
hate to hear this Terry.
Terry,
Our Tiger, and his son, Smokey, went to the other side of Rainbow Bridge this last year. One had cancer and the cause of death for the other was not determined. They put up a long and courageous fight until we decided their quality of life was gone. I prepared a little memorial service to honor their lives and we buried them both in our back yard.
I know Bonkers gave you much love and companionship as you did for him. All we can do is cherish the memories until we all cross that bridge ourselves. Rest in peace, Bonkers. You'll be missed!
Thank you all, he was only ten, not here near long enough.
He sure looked like a great cat, Terry. I'm sorry you don't have him now.
Sorry to hear this too Terry. i know you think highly of your cats...keep giving them a good home.
Sorry for your loss Terry
Cats can be very special pets.. And some real characters as well. My BIL is especially fond of 'em.. I had a few when I farmed but they won't work now around this place.
Sorry for your loss sir..
Sincere condolences Terry. IMO there is no one better for Bonkers to have shared his time on earth with.
Sorry that Bonkers left you too early T Lee.
Terry, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. It seems every so often I see a post from someone who has lost a pet. You are always quick to respond with condolences.
This time, please know that we are grieving with you.
