We got a gift from my brother in law (more accurately, his wife) delivered to us today. It’s a throw pillow with Ata’s picture on it. It’s actually a picture of him that my wife took in a school picture style with him dressed up posing in front of a backdrop. Somehow she got him to sit still and even not look pissed he was in a sweater (he HATED them no matter how cold it was).

I just picked up his ashes. I think I’m crying more now than I had since he died. I missed him, of course, and am still not out of the habit of looking for him to greet me when I get home, but it seems more raw right now.

I missed him, of course, and am still not out of the habit of looking for him to greet me when I get home, but it seems more raw right now. When we got both of our dogs' ashes back, after they had passed, I felt like I couldn't stop crying, even though in Pete's case, he passed naturally, and we had to put Jake down. I still have moments of sadness, because I miss them, and I think my dog, Charlie, tries to comfort me. I hope that you and your family can continue to heal from your loss. Your in-laws sound like very sweet people, and they gave you a wonderful gift.

Last year my beagle was put down after 15 years. I cried for 3 days.

Having cats die seems to be a common theme in my family these last few months. Ata (my cat), Bubbers (my brother Mike’s cat), Squeekers (my brother Jimmy’s cat) and Mazzle (my cousin Candi’s cat) all died in the last three months (Mazzle died most recently)

I have more videos uploaded of my awesome little buddy.
Video 1:
This is his reaction to chipmunks running around in the back patio area of our old apartment.

This was just him cuddling next to me.on the couch, being so cute that I had to film him. I scooted back to get more of him in the video. He did not want me putting any distance between us.

Video 3:
This is Ata in Xanax to stop a continuous seizure. We took him to the nearest 24 hr vet clinic where they gave it to him. He was brought back to us after he stabilized and I held him so he could get in beard rubs if he wanted. He decided he wanted to lick me instead, but he was sloppy about it. Sadly, my wife wasn’t able to record the funnier moments, but this is still a fond memory for us.
