Sorry to hear about the loss of Tipsy, @LarryBeemer.
From the looks of it, appears that Tipsy was loved and had a wonderful life. Having lost a cat and a dog to cancer, I can empathize with your feelings. The memories are what make the loss worthwhile. Relive the good times, and tide over the pain.
They are /were my children Larry! I am VERY sorry for your loss!
I would NOT hesitate to give my life if these creatures could spend more time on Earth.
I have lost all mine to cancer. All were part of my soul and with their departure, part of my soul went with them! Those parts will not be replaced until we are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge!
