Memories

 This crusty old bugger, still sorely missed and always in our memories, has been gone for six years today.  Don't worry, Cleo, you're tops now, but I wanted to honor Orbit's memory on this date.  Sure, I'd never have remembered the exact details if it wasn't for Cleo's mom having it on the big whiteboard hanging on the wall in the kitchen.  That thing will come in handy in the coming years.   Anyway, here's to you, old buddy.  We miss you tons and will always remember what a sweet, awesome & funny house panther you were and the joy your companionship brought us.  I think I have something in my eye.  Don't worry old girl, we'll get back to you with the next post.

Angel Orbit is looking down from heaven, scoffing at your sentimentality!
However, I'm with you; it's good to remember the times of our lost loved ones.
Hugs and purrs to you, on this remembrance day.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

I didn't discover your blog until after Orbit had gone to the Bridge so never met him. He was handsome and lived a good long life. My thoughts are with you as you remember him today.

Hard to believe it's been 6 years already since Orbit passed away. But now he's watching over Cleo, and you'll always remember the best parts of his personality.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! What a nice tribute to Orbit.
He was a cool cat. Your folks must miss him at times, but that does not mean they love you less Cleo.

Purrs, Julie

We know our old bro considered Orbit to practically be his twin. It's hard to believe it's been six years, but we like to think he was waiting for him when William crossed over.

Summer said...

Lots of purrs to you. Those are hard anniversaries... which is why human doesn't keep track of them.
