yeah hes only


Yeah he is only a cat. But Buster brought Joy back to my life. He made me smile when there was nothing but tears, Its been 8 days now, and I have never thought it would be like this.

This last year, my bussiness went from booming that 6 years to a very difficult time. My savings have been eaten up.

Things have been breaking and all I have anymore to drive is a 96 ranger with 400k miles on it.My Paint Sprayer kicked the bucket after 16 years. I have had trouble with my pressure cleaner.

I have had people owe me money.

But you know what? None of that matters to me like Buster matters to me. I think it was my fault he got out. Sometimes I just hate myself over those type of things because I try and be so careful. People who have pets that are great companions to them know why I mean.

So as silly as it may seem to some, my heart is truly broken today. I am lost.

My beautiful Kyra got out for the first time in her life a couple of months ago, and never came back. She had never even tried to go outside before. I understand. Praying that you will be comforted.

It's never an 'only' when they hold such special places in our hearts.

My heart DOES go out to you Dennis! If it gives you any comfort I had a cat who was very near and dear to my heart missin' for 6 months. LONG story but I did get her back. Don't ever give up hoping!

Aw Dennis, I really feel for you...our pets are family to us. Perhaps with the weather someone has taken him in or he has found a safe place to stay dry...cats are very resourceful. I remember when I lived in NC...when I moved in to my home, it came complete with a loving, stray cat that I and my next door took turns feeding. My neighbor said he had been hanging out for some time; finally he was able to get close enough to realize it had a rabies tag on. He traced the rabies number and found the vet that gave the vaccine; he in turn contacted the original owners, who, as it turned out only lived 2 blocks away in my subdivision. Their cat, 7 years old at the time, went missing the day they moved into the subdivision...almost 2 years before! It was a blessing to see them reunited with their baby. I pray God will divinely direct you to find him.

It's sad when our pets wonder off and get lost, I lost many cats that way, so now I hold my Sadie cat prisioner in my home, it's for her own good, she's declawed and she would be totally lost out there with out her claws to climb trees or fight off other cats, I pray that your cat remembers the way home.

Life is an adventure.

Brokeness is often a good place to be. Often its the turning place in our faith and our lives. Hope Buster returns soon my friend. Blessings

The body of Christ is like a patchwork quilt! All stitched together with God's love.

Keep searching Dennis, you will find him. I don't have cats, I am allergic but, I DO LOVE dogs like Mia. I do believe we will see them in heaven too. Buster is ok, probably just after a "female". You KNOW how we are sometimes..... SO SORRY the party got cancelled but, I need to stay home and sulk in my sorrows this weekend anyway. Got to find a way to come up with $279.00 to pay my ticket I got yesterday in my bus. The cops are after us bus drivers for some reason. Guess revenues are down so much they are digging DEEP. I have not slept but, guess GOD brought me here for a reason?? I am trying to give food away I bought for the party. I already thawed the hamburger out of freezer so, HAD to cook it. Man what a bummer. Was really looking forward to it BUT, kindda figured this might happen with this time of year and all. Oh well, hope Terri and Alan can come next time??

Dennis, I understand. When we live alone, our pets are the companionship that keeps us from becoming hermits or forgetting how to speak. (Yes, I freely admit having conversations with my cat.) I pray Buster comes home soon.

Let us share one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ
