A Good Friend Goes Over the Rainbow Bridge

Yesterday morning, my dear friend Lex went over the rainbow bridge.

Lex was one of my favorite cat friends who lived with Ma's friend, Linda D. Whenever I would go visit at Aunt Linda's, Lex would always play with me and the best part was...he played like a dog!

Lex had been suffering from a tumor that was right between his eyes, at the top of his nose, for some time.  This past weekend, it started to affect his breathing so Aunt Linda took him to the vet...and she had to make the tough decision to end Lex's suffering.  I know how much she loved Lex so I know she did the best thing for him.

I miss him already...

This is a picture of my good friend Lex, taken on Christmas Day 2010:

  3. Sorry Oz, it's a awful bummer when you lose a mate. Lex sounded like an awesome puss cat - not like my Grandpaws' cat Bruno - he hides the whole time I am there!!! Tail Wuggles, Rubie.

  6. HI Oz,
    I saw your pic from Trixie, Lilly and Sammy Joe's blog and had to check you out. I am sorry to hear about your friend, a cat that played like a dog is pretty special. May those memories of Lex get you through the sad times.

    Woof!

  8. So sorry to hear that Lex went over the Rainbow Bridge. Better for him but he'll be missed by those left behind. It will seem strange & like there's a big gap next time you visit Aunt Linda's house. Lovely poem - made Owner drip eyewater on computer keyboard.

  9. I am truly sorry for the passing of Lex. May he be freely romping in the fields beyond the Rainbow Bridge. It is always so difficult when we lose a beloved furbaby. Just doesn't seem fair to have them for such a short period of time, but we are lucky we do. Thoughts are with you. PS - very lovely poem.
