Cap'n Kisslin' Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yesterday, my bilge rat passed away yesterday. His name is Io. It happened while I was at work but that morning I could tell he was on his way out. It seemed peaceful. He be a part of my family, and I love him. So, Cheers to Io, and I wish him the best wherever he sails to. I was sailin' the high seas, 'round the Florida Keys. Trailin' that merchant ship, the one I'd catch and strip. For she had me swag, and flyin' an English flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Brand Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The loss of a pet is a kind of little death, leaving in its wake a small hole, poignant and focused. When we lost Amenhotep we actually lost two cats, for his brother would not come into the house ever after. My condolences on your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadL Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Here's ta yer little mate, mate! Aye, I know the loss of a bilge rat fer sure. Many, many, many years ago me pa had fed mine ta me python.

Dorian Lasseter Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 My condolences to ye... I raised many a rodent in my youth and was saddened each time they went to the other side.

Cap'n Kisslin' Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thank you mates. Io made a right fine pirate too, he plundered many a pizza o' mine. I was sailin' the high seas, 'round the Florida Keys. Trailin' that merchant ship, the one I'd catch and strip. For she had me swag, and flyin' an English flag.

Lady Alyx Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I am so sorry your Pirate buddy has gone to the High Pastures. I know I still mourn for my buddy Jackie (Jack Russell Terrier). It's very tough to loose someone who is so close to ya. May he find all the cheese, May he find all the pretty gals, May he find the sunrise always at his nose May he find the sunsets always at his tail ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
