Milda, I 'am Cathy's dad hope you don't mind me writing you. We just lost one of our wire haired terrier he was very old also. Had him from birth so I know how much they become part of your life.Here's hoping God will keep him here for along time to come . All of my children are grown and ten times more trouble then any of my pets(they are my replacement children). Have many, probably to many. Buster looks like he doing well, love's that cottage cheese I see. It seems Buster has added a lot to your live's and I am sure you to his. Tell Buster there a lot of people praying for him and to take it easy and enjoy life.

Subj: Re: buster   This is the nicest email I have received on Buster. I now know where Cathy gets her big heart from. She is such a good friend to me. It was kind of you to let me know you are thinking of me and Buster. It is so hard to think of life without him. My husband and I adore him. Our entire life revolves around him. As I am sure you know if you are a true animal lover they are part of your family. Thank you so much for the kind words and prayers. We need them. I am praying he has a healthy happy 10 more years but I know that is not possible. His 14th birthday is October 10th so I hope he at least gets to enjoy it.   Thanks again and bless you.   Milda

Iam so sorry He was a good cat when he was ok but he couldn't live like that forever . I didn't think but you could have brought him down here and let him run wild some cats are just wild in nature and he must have been one of those . I know he will be missed by you and doug very much me also . He will have lots of friends to play with now and he won't have to go thru anymore of those spells .I have a few that are already in heaven to play with him and some to sent there . Love you dad

 Hi Dad its just me... Hate that I have to come to here to write you when I would rather just call :( Well, I made it thru the 1st day of the new job.. Won't go into details, you already know how it went... Tough, tough day.. didn't want to be there.. just now ready for this yet... Gonna be hard being around sick people... especially when I feel I couldn't help you and save you from all the pain. I know this is the life cycle and we had talked about it many times but I so was not ready for you to go... We had to much to do.. Now I have to get the next next few months with the wedding stuff... I know in time things will be easier but he last thing I want to remember about my wedding day is you not being here.. Sry been a rough night and miss you so much.. Love you, Boo

Cathy, My heart breaks for you but, just know that your dad is still with you and always will be. The wonderful bond and connection between the two of you is not broken it is simply different. When you walk down the aisle on your wedding day your dad will be walking right beside you. Be strong my friend and god bless.

I miss you so much already but look forward to being with you again. make sure you get Peachy, Son, Stinger and the others for your new home and tell everyone I miss them and love them....

 Since Friday morning I have been looking for a sign or something from my dad.. with nothing found :( I am just hoping he figures I am too busy right now getting things ready for him to stop or bother me. Then I spoke to my brother tonight who has been working on gathering pictures and a video of dad to help out. He told me the weirdest thing happened to him a little bit ago while he was working on the slide show... He was closing all the windows he had open on his computer and when he got to his desktop the background was now a picture of Dad and his doesn't even know how to change the background. He thinks it was Dad who changed the background to say Thanks for helping.. I told him to take a picture of the monitor with his camera to send me the picture before he changes it back ( I will post as soon as I get it).. He said I don't know how it got there or how to changed it back...
