Gone Too Soon


to the person that took his life;

He was our first baby together that completed our family unit. You took a member of our family. WE are all numb. He had jsut made it to be a year old. His year birthday with us wasn't till August 1st. You took that from us. Our family.
At least it was quick. If it had to be, i am glad it was fast and he didn't lay there and suffer. WE didn't find him in pain and then have to make the horrible decision .................. Lyle is haunted with what he found ................

you stop for mother geese her babies. Traffic has been backed up for blocks to make sure a raccoon and her cubs cross or a duck and her mate ...... you don't stop for a confused cat? an Obviously domesticated Siamese that has gotten over (or under) the 6 ft chain link fence & 12 foot hedge to the right of you. He was barely a year old.
Did you even slow down for him?
or are you one of those people that aims for cats? speeds up even? you took away a member. A member of this family made up of 2 adults, a child, his best friend and a guinea pig (that he was forever trying to figure out).
Whisky searches for him already.........this will be hard for her .........
we will never know of the great hunter he was dreaming of being. He had just started to come into his adult life. his colors had darkened up. his personality................
He slept between us and every now and then had to wake us with affectionate licks.
I won't EVER forget him trying to get those licks in on my nose. he knows it bugged me so he would creep in real close and stealthy get his face as pointy as a siamese can and then sneak a lick.
for some people - their pets are just that. Pets. For us, they are members, very active members of our family. I hope you realize what you took from us today

We Love you Auggy

I am so sad for your family, my pets are my family as well. He isn't in pain, a small consolation.... He will be missed.

I'm so sorry, Kristi...

I'm trying to figure out why

he was only with us 9 mnths. Thats it. Why?
he came into our lives in sucha funny way. Such a fluke. His personality was so different. He was like a person. Like a dog. how many cats roll over to get their bellies rubbed. His memory was amazing for how he knew people that came here. He greeted everyone.
Why was he taken so early? Why? i waited for him for such a long time.
none of us can stop crying.
Getting up and he is not here. Climbing up between us and saying god morning. Walking with his tail as high as it would go. He thought it was longer than it was.
he was my baby. Our baby.
We are devestated
i could barley make coffee this morning
i need to make sense of this. He was brought into our lives for a reason -- what was the reason

Whisky just led Lyle to his collar -- caught on top of the fence ..................So Devestated!

woke in the night I could hear a cat outside. I went out. there was no cat.
Whisky was up in the night looking for him
Heard the cat some more ...... it was a bird. Some crazy night bird that sounds like a cat when it first calls.
No licks. No straws on my floor. No offerings by his food dish. he isn't in his morning spot to watch the world as it wakes up. Whisky is there alone. My Augg-i-lump. His voice his non-stop talking
we can't stop crying.
Why did he have to go over that fence?
you think you are keeping them safe and then ........
Whisky keeps looking for him. WE can't let her outside. She goes directly to the last place she saw him and waits for him to come back over the fence.
we are good parents. We have them chipped, registered we didn't leave them out at night. We only let them out when we were home. We trained them to check in every so often and to never go far.
He got adventuresome and had to go over the fence. He was not more than 25 feet from the house where Lyle found him.
He's lost both his collars in the space of the week. We should have known we shouldhave known. Wouldn't have mattered. He wanted to be on the other side. How do you forcify a chainlink fence and hedge anymore than it already is?
I am so mad at him.
That road has a speed limit of 60 people go well over 60. Even when Lyle was out there trying to collect him he nearly got hit. Nobody slowed down. Auggy didn't have a chance. He went right under a tire. He didn't suffer
I miss him soooo much.
he was my box kitty. The fish food I went in to get that day. it was an accident that we found him. His quirks. He was from a breeders litter but his cross showed too much and nobody wanted him. He wasn't perfect enough. Well he was perfect for us!!!! he was my baby. It took me a long time to be ready for him after Ball ...............
he brought Lyle, Charlotte and I together as a family. He was the first thing we all committed to as a family. He was a joint effort. He loved lyle and i so deeply. Sleeping between us every night .........
look at me go on in my comments ...........

i just hurt so very much.

Noooooooo! Aw, that is sooooooooo saaaaaaad. =(

Lyle is haunted -- just haunted by finding his body and what he saw on the meridian. He can't shake the image .....

his head was crushed

he was not on the road, THANK GOD! he was on the meridian. So far as I can CSI it out he was making the move to come back across and didn't even make it off the meridian. He was dead right in his tracks. so quick in fact, that he didn't even shit himself.
lyle keeps going on about how his eye ......... was out
i keep hearing a voice I've never heard before echoing in my head and it is mine. or was mine. Hysterical, screaming ..... out in front of the house.....not knowing how to get to him. I can't climb the fence like lyle can. Lyle barley could. Head all around you. he nearly broke his neck getting over ........... oh my Auggy! Why?
you came into our lives by such a fluke. Al we did was go in for fish food. That's it. Fish food and there you wre.
Everything happens for a reason.
What was the reason in this.
you left us so fast. your dad and i miss you more than you ever figured I am sure.

Take care of him God. Please.
Sparkle, Rugby and Ball are there .............. it hurts so much. My Baby. My Baby boy ............ I want to scream and yell and punch and .......i want to put more chicken wire up along the fence! I want him back!!!! We didn't do enough to protect him. We were his parents. We should have done more. We should have known he was orking on that fence. We should have put more chicken wire up
