SO SAD:(

R.I.P- Stripes Foremaster aka Big Boy/Stooge
(my big boy before Tripp) (Scott's name for him)
This has been a bad week for the Foremaster Family. Our cat got ran over in front of our house. Thank goodness Grandpa Howard lives in our neighborhood and goes for early morning walks and found him. He caught Scott on his way to work and let him know. I was so sad and sick. I know it sounds ridiculous I have said it a million times "cats come a dime a dozen" well not ours. He was unusual he was part dog and human. He could open the door that came in from the garage, his litter box was in our garage so when he needed to go to the bathroom he would meow. When he wanted back in he would scratch the door. When he meowed it sounded like one of my kids yelling mom! He was so good with my kids and baby. We will miss his meow!!

I am so sorry about your Kitty. That's always tough when an animal dies. At least you or your girls didn't have to discover him outside. I couldn't imagine running over a cat and not stopping to find the owner or something. Anyways sorry for your loss.

Didn't Tia get him for her birhtday? He was a pretty cat...so sad. My mom & dad had a cat that was cool like him and when he died I thought they were going to lose it. I am so sorry.
P.S. Check out Bakerella on my blog. Look at the cake pops..there are the cutest Hello Kitty ones..let me know what u think.

Sad! You know I am a big animal lover and pets are just part of the family. You'll have to adopt a new one from the Ivins Animal Shelter.

That's so sad! I hope your kids aren't devistated by it! I'm sorry to hear about your cat.

Oh, I am so sorry! Losing a pet is so hard! Now you need to hurry and get another one!

I am not a cat person, but I still remember the day a person brought my kitten to my door on a stick, because they had just run it over!!! My mom was furious, I had answered the door and was only 5-6 years old. Maybe that's why I don't ever want a cat again, I don't know, but I hope your kids are ok. It is so sad when you lose a pet.( although I totally wish our fish would die :0 )

Sorry miss. That is too bad. When we lived on the farm in Garland, we burried a lot of our kitties and it was so sad every time. Way cute pics of your little man. I can't believe he is 8 months. Time flies.

Mel, I am so sorry about your cat, he was so darling! I remember when we came over and Stella got her first ever cat experience while we were there. I'm sorry, I hope the kids are handling it ok.
In other news, holy crap, Tripp is 8 months old! That is going too fast, he is such a cutie pie.
I miss you and I think we need to get a lunch date planned, what are you doing on Friday?

The Foisy's said...

Oh poor kitty! I hate that! Ya good thing your kids didn't find him!

Mel,
I am seriously so sorry. Peeps without cats just think we are creepy cat people, but if we ever lost Peaty I would be throwin up even though somedays he totally pisses me off.
Your cat was totally bitchin and I am so sorry. I hope the girls are taking it ok and tell Scottie boy I will make him feel better next time I come over! he he (I'm joking everyone)! kinda:)

It is so hard to lose a pet, because they seriously become a fixture in the family. My dog was ran over by a truck, & guess who was the driver...me. It was horrible!
