The last few months of 2010 sucked. There is no other way to wrap it up other than saying it sucked. It started with Hubs in the hospital and then just rolled on. I was looking forward to saying a fond fair well in 2010 saying good bye to the suck and looking forward to a fresh start a new year with new possibilities.
But 2010 did no go quietly, when we though that it could not get any worse...it did. On Christmas day, while we were in NY our cat Chaplin passed away at the age of 7. To say we are devastated is an understatement. He got ill before we left and we went to the vet, they told us he was sick with kidney disease and we made plans to have him see a specialist when we got back. Our pet sitter sent us daily email updates but, he did not make it and it just crushed us. My heart is broken and we miss him so much. The to top that off, we got stuck in NY for an additional two days thanks to the blizzard and we were going stir crazy. We just wanted to get home.
When we finally did, we were greeted by two happy dogs but Chaplin's presence was missing. We were all missing him. I catch myself trying to find him or one of the dogs is looking for him. And then it hits you, he is gone.
I was never a cat person and he was a compromise with Hubs. Yet, once he picked us out because he did, we were hooked. Chaplin was a sweet, funny, loving , patient and brave boy who fast became part of us.
We are missing him so much
So while 2011 has unlimitless possibilities. I am finding it hard to close the door on all the crap that was 2010.

I never met Chaplin, but now I miss him, too.
Oh no I am so sorry! It's always difficult to lose a pet because they become part of our family, so I can understand how you are having a hard time with it.
2011 can only get better than the last few months of 2010!
I am so sorry about Chaplin's sudden illness and death. Pets are a part of the family, and when they die, I think it can be just as hard as a human. I am thinking of you!
Thank you very much ladies.
