Crafty in the Med

I am here to enjoy meeting other bloggers and to share my love of craft ,mostly crochet, my thoughts and my daily happenings here in Alicante,Spain, my adopted country. I belong to a local choir because singing and music makes me happy. Flea markets and book shops are two of my favourite places to be. I read lots......sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I walk and walk and walk for about 10 months per year during the hot months I swim.

  13. Oh I'm so sorry for this decision you have had to make. 19 years is a long life for a cat. We lost our George 2 years ago at 15. We still miss him. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  14. My heart goes out to you! 19 years of him makes you miss him all the more. He's in every nook of the house; every memory for such a long time. You certainly know when it is time. Our ROzzy is hanging on at 17 but not in the best of shape some days….
    Prayers to St. Francis of Assisi and may my fun feline Radar who passed last year, meet your cat and play with the birds in heaven

  21. A little late, but I'm adding my sympathy here. It is always sad to lose a dearly beloved pet, but you have, I believe, done the best for him. He knew you loved him and is now out of pain and suffering. Big hugs to you and Sir P.
