Goodbye Sweet Chompers

 Our special Chompers... one minute he was fine and then he was gone. He passed away on Halloween night. We took him to the vet that night thinking he had a bladder infection possibly and turned out to be serious bladder stones. You would not have known it. He never showed signs of being in pain to us. He was gentle and loved us up until the end. It was devastating. We loved Chompers so very much. I still think the shock hasn't subsided and we still look for him as we enter rooms and return from errands. There is such a void in this house. 
 We waited a week to bury his ashes because it was so hard to say goodbye. 

 This was so hard to watch. Seeing the kids say goodbye. 

 We read a poem and buried some of his favorite toys with him, and then we cried. 
 He is buried in his favorite place in the backyard where he could see the neighbor dog, a perfect spot to see his blue birds and where he could see us at the sliding door. When we would call him to come in his meow always sounded like 'no" :) 
He was such a special part of our lives and we all thought he would be with us until the kids were saying goodbye to their high school years. He was taken so soon. We love you forever Chompers. you are so missed..
