Hello everyone. I have to start this post with an enormous thank you to you all. I have only just been able to bring myself to read your messages posted following the loss of Vince, and I have been overwhelmed by your love and kindness. We collected his ashes from the vet this morning so he is home with us again and although I do not yet feel ready to take on the world, I have taken comfort from having him back where he belongs.
The tears are still flowing. It has been a really tough week and although going back to work on Tuesday was hard, it was probably the best thing. I am still having meltdown moments, like this morning when I walked into the living room and he wasn't sunbathing on the back of the sofa, but at least through those moments now I can find a smile at the memories he has given us.
I wasn't going to post this card because the image is the one I was using to occupy my time on his last morning, but I am going to, as a tribute to my beloved Vince.
The stamp is Winter Kisses from A Random Fan (Sherry T Designs)
Coloured with Polychromos Pencils (fur and hair) and Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Papers are all LOTV/Nitwits
Thank you again dear friends for all your words of love and comfort.
Hugs, Squirrel xx
Aw Squirrel have another hug. "The depth of your sorrow reflects the depth of your love".

Such a fabulous card Squirrel. You have been on my mind and I'm so glad to see you here. We have recently planted a mass of bulbs on and around my Darling Mog so am now looking forward to seeing them burst in the spring and every one thereafter xx

Such a cute image and a gorgeous card. Pets become so much a part of the family and it is hard but you have to remember the lovely life he had with you x

I have missed your post about your beloved Vince, this is so sad because we have also a beloved and very sweet cat called "Pino" . She is our girl because we have no kids. I can feel your sadness and give you a big hug from the netherlands. It is great that you make a beautiful card and show it today.

I'm glad you've shared this one honey, as it's a gem, beautifully coloured. I know how much Vince meant to you and Paul caught me shedding a little tear when I saw your gorgeous Facebook photo of him. Having read some of the comments on this post really shows the support you have. But I think my favourite is Alison's comment at the very top, I've never heard of that phrase before but it's oh-so true.
