Tucker took a turn for the worse tonight, so we had a mobile vet come to the house to end his suffering. At about 10:25 p.m., he quietly slipped away.
Run free, Tucker boy. . .

My heart aches for you both. Tucker was a Cat in a Million, and we will miss him fiercely. Godspeed, sweet boy.
Tucker, you were loved by so many, and we are all so sorry you had to leave us now, none so much as your mom and dad. Fly free sweet boy and stop by for visits from time to time.
I'm so sorry. Tucker was so obviously loved, and loved you in return. He will be missed by all.
We're so sorry. Our Mommy always loved watching Tucker's gift video where he was caught trying to open the gift. We know he will be missed immensely. Hugs and purrs to you guys. -Lily, Jan and their Mommy
I'm so sorry... I so did not want to see this news. Purrs to you - Tucker was a very special cat, but you are special humans too, for caring for him so well and always doing everything possible for him... and more.
So sorry to hear about your sweet Tucker. I'm sure he's last moments were happy ones. Hugs.
Oh, no, Rene, I'm so sorry. This is the post I've been dreading. I'm so glad you had the option of a mobile vet, though -- I think that would have been easier on Tucker.
I know your heart, and Jim's too, is broken, and I know there's nothing I can write that will help. I've posted a paraphrased quote before, that all the holes in our hearts are to let the Light shine through...What else is there to say? Tucker was loved beyond words, and always will be.
Wishing you peace, sending purrs and hugs.

I am so very very sorry that Tucker time with you drew to a close. I don't know what is worse, the unknowing phase, the in between, or the final goodbye. Your heart I well know aches more than you thought it could. I wish there was some magical thing any of us could say that would make it easier. But alas, there is not. I do believe that the amount of grief you'll feel is akin the amount of love you have, which is more that could ever be totaled. One thing I hope you will keep close to your heart. Tucker was loved, so loved for 16 years. He loved you that much in return. Hang onto to those memories. Our loved ones never truly leaves us. They live on in the kindness they showed,the comfort they shared,&the love they brought into our lives

So very sorry to hear that Tucker's time to go came so soon. You gave him one last gift in letting him go. Sending lots of comforting purrs to you in your loss.

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy, Tucker. He will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge.
Just so sorry for the loss of your sweet boy.
Someone sent me this when I lost my Minnie:
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

It won't make it any easier now, but it will down the road.
I'm so sorry to hear about Tucker. All the good memories he left with you will always be safe in your heart. Run young and pain free, sweet boy.

Oh, he was always your sweet baby boy, wasn't he. Well, actually, if you look inside your heart, he still is.
We will miss him a lot, as will lots of others.
He'll be waiting for you (and us) along with a lot of other loving animals Over the Rainbow Bridge. I hope he and brandi can meet.

Very sorry it was Tucker's time to leave for the bridge. He evidently brought a lot of happiness into your lives. It was thoughtful of you to give him a treat of something he'd have on his "bucket list" - an ear of corn. Hugs, purrs and tail wags of comfort.
our sorrow for you is so great Rene...may the words of my favorite poetry comfort your heart a little...with tender love, Karla
When Great Trees Fall
Maya Angelou
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be and be better. For they existed.
So sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye to Tucker...We are not sure if we have ever visited before, but we smiled to see him nibbling the corn and that he had some special time with you on the porch... Tucker will live in your hearts forever and would not want you to be sad, and soon, may you smile when you think of the happy times you shared...
We are so sorry to hear that Tucker had to go so soon. He was a special boy, and we know that he will leave a big hole in your family and your hearts. Many purrs and hugs to you from all of us.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Tucker. He had the sweetest family to watch out for him and love him. I never met the little guy but I had such a fondness for him through your stories.
Sending you purrs and thoughts now.
((hugs))

Hugs and purrs Madi
